INTRODUCTION My whole life changed the minute that Boris (the UK Prime Minister) said, on Monday 23 March 2020, 'You must stay at home'. Overnight, my w hole lifestyle, my whole being, my whole world............... was eradicated. More than 4 years on, and lock down and all the restrictions that came with it, almost seem like a distant memory. …...............Except the legacy of lock down will live with us forever. Covid-19 and lock down changed the world.................. It changed my life forever. L ooking back................... I was one of the 'lucky ones'..................... I didn't catch Covid, I didn't have elderly parents that needed looking after, I didn't have young children or grandchildren that I wanted to see, I didn't have relatives in care homes, I didn't have any ailments that required hospital treatment, I wasn't on any sort of medication so didn't need to visit pharmacies or doctors, I wasn't old or infirm.
