People are going through stress and depression while forced to remain home. It leads to mental health problems. There are long-term consequences as well, for the elderly can lead to rapid physiological changes.

My mom is depressed, and I am trying to cheer her up. There's only so much you can do in these circumstances.

How much more so for many elderly who are now being quarantined. In nursing homes there are no visitors allowed, even if a person is nearing death and family would like to visit, during the last few weeks of the life of a loved one.

This is being done to save their lives apparently, but there are other issues to be considered.
