Return to normal life I'm sorry but the jobs have stopped but the bills haven't I literally cannot afford to sit in the house all day.

In which case, UBI needs to be implemented for the length of the quarantine. Going back to work because you can't afford not to will only make the whole thing worse, especially if it comes in waves like the 1918 outbreak did.

For my part, I don't mind carrying on at the kind of level of quarantine that's currently in place in the UK for a while longer. I'm used to that sort of isolation, honestly, and I think it might bring home to the non-disabled among us just what those of us who are often housebound have to endure every damn day.

I just wish they'd sort out the grocery delivery services properly already, they're a mess & I'm stressed out that I can't get a slot for weeks, and that may be even worse if the companies decide to prioritise the people the government have decided are most at risk, because they didn't bother to include half the people who *would* be, or those of us who already ordered online regularly due to mobility issues. That, and certain horrendous provisions of the Coronavirus Bill the Tories have just passed, including rolling back the Care Act 2014 in its entirety, really bother me. The latter essentially meaning that disabled people who need help with personal care etc but won't die immediately if left without it won't be able to *get* that care anymore if they can't afford it, as the majority of disabled people can't. And would you be happy to be left sitting in your own waste for days, as that may do to some care recipients without family? It'll be bad for me, but much worse for people even less mobile than I am.

Anyway, I went tl;dr, sorry. But if we don't hold down the quarantine now, our medical services won't be capable of helping us when we need them.
