Allow over 70’s to have as much freedom as 60’s if in good health
Over 70’s should not be discriminated against just because of their age. Lots of my friends are over 70 and are all fit and well belonging to walking groups and gym classes with no overall health problems.
Why the contribution is important
Age discrimination can seriously damage their mental health and where these people are presently very active they may never return to their present fitness again.

This the basis of the strategy to protect the vulnerable whether they are fit or have underlying heath issues.
In balance medical and scientific trumps our desire for personal freedoms if it saves lives.

Lockdown on age is not acceptable as plenty younger people get ill too.

The opportunity to leave the house more than twice a day but still to be limited to walking round our local pavements would be of little help to our mental well-being. To be able to drive to extend our very limited horizons is becoming essential.
Please consider all those like us when drawing up the plans for the next step. We, too, need some staged freedoms; e.g. to use our car to look at and walk in the nearby countryside - say within a 25 mile radius of our house - or to visit family.
