The Corona Diaries – Day 5

Well I’ve still got a bit of a cough and runny nose and Liz woke up with a temperature. Normally we’d just think we had a bit of a cold but these aren’t normal times are they?

So we are in isolation for three months! Today I will nip down to post a parcel, buy some milk and onions and cancel the paper. Then we will settle back to read, write, watch TV, go for solitary walks and watch some films (as well as blogging, editing and checking with the family and friends on line).

Slightly different to some of the scenes in America. People in line to buy guns! What is that about?? They fear the end of society?? I can imagine a few scenarios:

‘OK you goddam virus – stick your nose round my door an’ I’ll blast you to hell!!’

or is it:

‘Any goddam foreigner pokes their nose into my part of town an’ I’ll blast them to hell!!’

You have to laugh. So many of them really do think they are John Wayne!
