The recommendation to self-isolate for the above 70s and general advice to "stay at home" are important public health measures. As a result, many people sudden cut down outdoor activity and become more sedentary - there are obvious knocked on effects on general well-being as well as exacerbating chronic musculoskeletal condition / pains / ache.
