How is the Lock Down Affecting Your Generation?

As usual I started to respond to a comment and I felt a post coming on. This was on a post from Granny Gee about appreciating even the smallest of things. Replying to my comment she was saying that she was not doing that much different from normal during the crisis It made me think how this crisis and the restrictions associated with it will be experienced differently by different generations. So in lock down which is now 7 and a half weeks in, and for all that time I have not stepped foot out of my apartment, things are not all that different for me apart from not going out. I am over 70 and I grew up in an age where most of my meals were cooked from scratch and if we ate out it was a rare event. So eating out is still not a thing I do that regularly nor do I get take away often, it is not because I can't but for the most I prefer my own cooking. The younger members of my family have been walking the dog and doing the shopping and we have had no trouble getting enough provisions to carry on life pretty much as usual. I miss the socialising at our local bar/restaurants with friends but for the most part I think for my generation who are on a pension the lock down has just been a case of staying indoors and not being able to socialise with our friends. But I think if I was experiencing this as a young or middle aged person then my perspective and my experience would be totally different. When I had a young family we lived pretty much from payday to payday so the lock down would have been a totally different experience for me. How is your generation handling the lock down?
