Letter: All the lonely people

Dorene Knight of Ballito writes:

I read an article in the Courier today, someone complaining about the many people at Lifestyle. In answer to that allow me to state the plight of lonely and single people.

I live on an estate, I do not have a garden, there is common property but I am not allowed to use it. I have not seen or spoken to a human being for five weeks.

I am a vibrant and intelligent human being. I am fit and healthy. I am creative. I love life. I am doomed to die alone as I cannot have a visitor, even one who sits apart.

Yes, I go to Lifestyle to see human beings walking about.

I stand in the car park and just look and wish someone would speak to me. I am heartbroken and I will die soon. This virus is being overplayed by the press and our government.

Since time began the world has suffered similar events and crises. Stop this fear. Can’t you sheep see what is happening in this country? You are not going to catch the virus walking outside in Lifestyle.

Wearing a cloth mask will not protect you. Do you wash and sterilise it every time it’s used?

Just think of all the single people who do not have family close by, and even if they do, they are not allowed to visit. My mind is in turmoil. I need to see a face.

The media has caused this nonsense – mass hysteria about something very few of our population has.

A few thousand out of 60 million. Open your minds, stop allowing yourselves to be fooled. Our leaders are loving the control.

When you write about people in Lifestyle, take a look around. There are sad and lonely and desperate people standing there crying out for help.
