Lockdown Life

The Pandemic Experience for Older Diarists

Abstract

It is not easy to forget and wipe from our memory the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us, whether countrywide, or individually in our homes and communities, even though it’s a while since the whole phenonium hit the UK in early 2020. Each of us experienced the time in different ways and probably remember different aspects of that difficult period. Without a doubt though the pandemic and the lockdowns were to transform our daily lives and focused our attention on how the government and the authorities throughout the four nations were addressing the impact on public and personal health.
