It's Been a While

So it has been a while in this mad and crazy COVID19 world.  How are you doing?  I hope you and yours remain safe and well.  We have well and truly been in a lockdown bubble which I began before Government Advice when I saw what was happening in Italy.  Dad is 86 and has Parkinsons, Kidney Disease and a myriad of other ailments so I couldn't take any chances.

I decided (as hubby is a key worker and has worked throughout) that myself and Dad would lock down and maintain social distancing with hubby.  So far so good, Dad is well and robust helped by the good weather of late and he can sit on the patio to get fresh air with his radio and paper.

But over 40,000 deaths is 40,000 too many and I feel for them and those they left behind.  We can only do what we can do.

I know and understand why the Government want to restart the economy so reopening restaurants, pubs and air corridors to key countries for holidays.  Personally until there is better evidence ( a single day without deaths would be great( cure or vaccine, we remain incredibly cautious.  I will continue to carry out only essential shopping and we won't meet people unless its outdoors and at least 2 metres apart (in spite of the new 1 metre rule).  Death is ultimately inevitable we all know that but lets not give it an upper hand.  Stay safe, keep well, do what you think and feel is right.  Personally gloves and mask for when I do have to go out are firmly part of my wardrobe.  Every little helps I'm sure.
