As of today (January 20, 2021) we're in night lockdown in my country. From 8.30pm to 4.30am we're not allowed to be outside the house, unless you have to be for specific reasons. Such as work, emergencies, caretaking, walking the dog. We're only allowed to have 1 visitor (over 13 years old) per day in the house. At least until February 10. That's upon the lockdown we already had: all shops closed except food shops. I'm ok with that, because numbers of sick people are still way to high. What are the restrictions in the area you live in?

Overhere outdoors only two people. Schools are closed too. Travel abroad very restricted. Youngsters are complaining a lot that they are feeling lonely not able to be and party with their friends, but what the hell, they see and text each other every minute of the day. I truly feel sorry though for the elderly, those are the ones who really get lonely.

@JimBo452020 Yes I feel them, I thought they are far more advance to our old time since their games are so futuristic and now they are locked inside the house. I would say that my time 60's is simple but full of memories of running around, games of hide and seek, jumping rope, touch and go and many more physical games. Our mouths were laughing wide open but no covid to gulp and inhale. We did not buy drinking water when thirsty. Friends were hugging tight and kissed when missed.

Not too strict as of the moment. Our restriction is categorized as general, moderate, enhanced quarantine depending on the number of cases within the specified area. However, the new variant of covid has entered our place but it is good that due to long time experience since from the start of its onset , the frontliners and the health workers knew already how to handle the situation.

We have similar restrictions until the end of February, only the grocery stores and the pharmacies are now opened. I am fine with the new rules, I see too many people who seem to think that this virus is a joke.

Visitation is not allowed here. Unless for emergency reason of course. We're not allowed to leave the house, unless to buy food or work. Unless two people are allowed to leave.

That's really strict. In my place, that's not that strict. We still can go out (under health protocol) even there are people who are enjoying their holidays.
