It is difficult.
My mother is 76 and lives alone. She was leading an extremely active and social life until this all kicked off. I do worry about her getting lonely. At the moment she just goes walking by herself in the countryside to get out the house, but I can't see her being socially isolated for too long. It would break her. Daily phone calls from me don't cut it; we just don't have enough in common to chat away. She needs to be with her friends. This woman just said she lives with her husband, though. She doesn't really have an excuse.

Similar situation here
Dad has been dicking about with his mates, probably helping out vulnerable people from his church and finally got the whole point of isolating when his dry cough started properly. Didn't stop him popping over to drop a birthday card off. So now he's two fevered days in, jo appetite or sense of smell, with pre-existing conditions, and living with my mum who similarly has health issues, and coming down with it.
I think he gets it now.
