Here we are cloistered away. All around is a false security – nobody I know has gone down with it yet. But there is a two week gestation period so lots of people might have it without knowing. They’ll be spreading it around.
Whether to collect a newspaper or not – that is the decision of the day.
My elder son is on the Wirral. He is in the front-line as a nurse-practitioner seeing patients with coughs and temperatures on a daily basis – and no adequate protection.
My second son is on the front-line teaching in a secondary school with all the super-spreaders in stuffy classrooms.
My youngest son is in London still going to work on busses and being coughed on. He might be working from home as from next week.
My daughter is already working from home!
I’m sure that if any of them get it they will be alright. They are fit and healthy. And I’m not too worried about the grandchildren. Kids seem to get it mildly.
So I’m ringing round contacting friend – particularly those on their own!
Worrying times!
Take care. I don’t see why you can’t go out to get the newspaper. Or walk on the street. Just don’t get near anybody or touch things. Use gloves, hand sanitizers. I go out for walks, people walk their dogs, young people are working. This is going to last a long time. Be well, my friend.
Hi Bumba – no problem with walking – just going in the shop and papers that have been handled – viruses can be passed on – but hell – one has to live. I doubt it’s much of a risk!
You be careful too!
I can’t believe your schools are still open there, Opher. Our schools at all levels have been closed for a week now. I feel so badly for front line workers who have inadequate protection. Stay safe, good sir.
Hi John – they are shutting this week – though still keeping open for key workers. My son who is a teacher at my old school is very anxious. My older son is also on the frontline as a nurse practitioner. He’s seeing people with possible covid-19 on a daily basis!
What a scary mess! You be safe too my friend!
