We say 'cabin fever' to mean the same thing :)
I don't know how it is elsewhere, but here the government says you can go out for a walk even when in self-isolation so long as you avoid populated areas and don't touch anything or anyone. And of course follow guidelines such as covering cough/sneeze with a tissue. So the playground is out, but if you live near some nice outdoor walks or wild areas, you can at least leave the house every now and then.

Yeah, we are allowed to leave as well. But they recommend people only leaving their houses for work or to go and buy food.
As that started today, I have not been outside yet, but I don't think that many people are listening to this advice :/
They closed the schools on Monday and said the children should stay at home, but the streets had been full of teens that sat together in groups... as if it was a holiday.

Exactly what I thought is stupid by closing down schools and so on.
The only ones that have really to be afraid are the elderly, and those are the ones that run into the stores everyday.

Yeah. Also media said: "If you cannot take care of your kids yourself because you have to work, send them to their grandparents."
Good advice... killing them off on purpose?

My mother had my daughter for the whole week to take care and she says it is unbelievable that some older persons looked at her like she was taking care of the devil or the virus itself.
Kids are our future not our problems.
Being mad at them is not the right way to act within such a weird time.

Yeah. Also, why are they looking at her like she is the virus? If they fear that they might become ill, they should just stay at home or far away from too many people...
Everyone should take care of each other. Not JUST the kids, or JUST the elder people, or JUST the working people. Everyone...
We are now "kinda" quaratined and yet the police it disturbing larger groups around 15 times each night...

Ahaha, wanting to be in a boring place... not a phrase I often hear xD
I'm sick rn, not sure if it's a simple cold or the corona. Although I'm pretty sure its the corona. I came back from college for spring break, and I've been sleeping more than half my day...
People who are purposefully meeting up when it's not essential is really not considering this more seriously :(
