The Corona Diaries – Day 3

Posted on by Opher

Today I woke up with a sniffly nose and a bit of a cough. Do you think I have the virus?

I doubt it. But who knows.

If I do get the virus I will go around and ask people if they voted Brexit. If the answer is yes I’ll shake their hand, give them a big hug and kiss.

But on a serious note:

We are not so much isolating as avoiding people, avoiding contact, keeping at a distance. I think that’ll work.

Went to do some shopping and washed hands very carefully when I got home – shopping trolleys are not very hygienic.

I find some of the stories going round extremely amusing.

Seemingly Trump and Johnson are at each other’s throats. Trump wants the virus to kill off all the over-seventies in order to reduce the social security/pension bill but Johnson wants to keep them all alive – they make up the majority of his voters!

Makes sense to me.

I’m seventy years old. It seems that in a little while I’m being told to stay in doors. I don’t think that’s fair. My wife’s sixty nine and she’s allowed out! (Not that there’ll be anywhere to go!)

      2. Our parents are all gone. My wife has asthma which is a worry. But I’m worried for us all. I have no faith in our leaders or the information we are being fed. It is scary!

      3. Yes you have all the reasons to worry about your wife, having asthma is dangerous for corona. Same here, I don’t have faith in our government either, the only solution is to depend on ourselves and be careful all the time

  2. I have a lingering cough too, but no flu. Still I’ve avoided touching and I’m doing a self quarantine. Seeing MD tomorrow. This may last a long time. Have you seen the data and graphs?

    1. Yes – it looks pretty dire. Particularly when you look at 10% of victims needing intensive care. But 90% are all OK. 9 out of 10 – that’s not bad!
      But I’ve got enough to keep me going for four months! Isolation doesn’t worry me!
