I went to see my 84 year old mum today. An hour and a half drive each way. I sat outside chatting with her through a cracked back window, eating lunch - a flask of tea and a peanut butter sandwich, trying to help her learn how to use a Kindle (she'll manage that) and a smartphone (not so sure). She's lucky in that she has very generous, friendly and kind neighbours, but 12+n weeks of isolation is going to be very very hard for many old people.
