We are still isolated here in our house – fortunately with more to do than we’ve got time to do it in. Today I have spent most of the time editing my Sci-fi novel – Farm 703 – the human project. I am nearing the end.
When I have done that I shall move back to the final edit of Schizoid. That should keep me busy for a few days.
I am doing a brisk daily walk – an hour – and maintaining my 10,000 steps a day quota. It is quite easy to do that without going close to anybody.
Still have a dilemma about the newspaper though. Should I cancel it? It means popping into the shop to pick it up.
We are in a bit of a false situation. We do not know anybody with the disease yet. But we do know that it takes two weeks to develop symptoms and during that time people will be spreading it.
Part of me thinks that it’s best to get it early. We would probably have it mildly – then we could relax. If we got it badly there are intensive care beds available. Once it gets going it might really take off and there are no longer the beds or staff.
Still worried about the kids. They will most probably get it mildly – being young – but there is always that risk.
So – as the country locks down and the element of disbelief continues, we wait.
All the best everyone. Stay safe.
