Autumn dates are all about cosying up in a pub with some wholesome grub, a bottle of red wine and maybe even a cheeky snog, says Stylist’s Hollie Richardson. So what does it mean for single people when they have to end all dates by 10pm, potentially for the next six months?

ref yahoo.

I know most people on CS are older but some of you still date, what will you do in the lockdowns, which may be with us for 6 months or more.

What if you find someone you want to sleep with, would you break the rules, or wait.

Or even worse you find the one and you both want to be together. Would you become a law breaker for love?

Think about it.

I would break the law, if we become ill, we'll be ill together, sharing the same bed while recovering.

I'm not that desperate that I would put my grandchildren at risk by going to a pub.

Apart from grocery shopping, I'm in a position where I can totally isolate. I mind my grandchildren who are exposed in school, for my daughter who is a front line essential worker.

If I take selfish risks, not only do I put them at risk, but everyone they come into contact with.

A date is not worth that. A date who can't wait is definitely not worth that.

I agree with your line of reasoning Jac, you at least have your families company,

I also isolate, and just have a cleaner coming in once a week, and a real chatterbox, so I get an injection of all the gossip.

My love life is on hold . My God they've got a Christmas Tree on This Morning (TV) what happened to summer??????

I didn't have my family's company for four months, neither did I see anyone I knew during my weekly grocery shop because I moved into this unfamiliar area a couple of weeks before lockdown. No work companionship either, as like many people I got laid off.

It wasn't ideal, it was a bit scary when I was unwell and getting out of breath just getting a glass of water, or going for a pee, but the more we navigate this sensibly, the more we will at least gain some avenues of social contact and employment opportunities.

I'm sorry to hear you are separated from your partner, Tom.

About dating, I guess a lockdown doesn't have to be a problem, but how the companies losing lots of money and have to fire their employees?

I've spent years preparing for this, I've isolated myself from other people for years now... It's paid off, this is just a normal year for me... mumbling ... rolling on the floor laughing

Yeah, I had it at the beginning of April, only mildly, only a case of self-isolating.

I was as fit as a butcher's dog when I moved into this flat at the end of February, running up and down flights of stairs with packing boxes and I could run up the mountain where I live. Admittedly I was very tired and achy, but nothing a good rest wouldn't cure, or so I thought.

Now I struggle to get through a day looking after my grandchildren because of chronic fatigue, muscle pain and a few other symptoms. I don't know for certain if that's the after effects of the 'rona, or if there are other contributory factors, but whenever I read/watch other people's long hauler accounts, it's sounds bang on target.

That's why I keep urging people to do everything they can to minimise the chance of getting it, or passing it on. The after effects are worse than the mild version of the disease and it's proving to be a very long haul indeed trying to get not only my fitness back, but quality of life.

I bumped into a friend recently. She's gone from being a marathon runner to getting out of breath walking up the stairs. I think she was more ill with it than I and luckily I don't appear to have any lung damage, or breathlessness.

It really is worthwhile considering the 'viral load' hypothesis which suggests wearing a mask can reduce the amount of organisms you become infected with, possibly reducing the severity of symptoms, or even resulting in building up anti-bodies whilst remaining asymptomatic.

I hope you make a full recovery, i heard the symptoms even from a mild bout of Corona ca be serious, I had a mild bout in May and still have loss of taste and fatigue, but we're still alive Jac, even as the walking woundedlaugh

I broke the lockdown law in a few different ways on Monday. No one has come knocking with an arrest warrant, so far. dancing
