It’s a great idea to call your doctor and ask if it’s a good idea to go outside.

A good friend of mine is over 60 and recently retired. She has zero family, no kids, no partners, no one. We cannot see each other now for obvious reasons and she is not working anymore. So it’s isolating and lonely now

She does go out to walk once a day and she says it make her feel better to just see people from a far and maybe even wave at them. It helps her to feel less isolated. If your doctor approves it, it might help you feel less alone. But of course if doctor thinks otherwise it’s different
Thanks for this!
