enjoy!
(I can imagine the Boris thing...oh my Lawd.)
Not freaked out really, just recognizing how deeply serious it is and accepting how differently people respond....all beyond our control.
So glad you and son are among the rational!
hugs

Eeew Hopsie, I watched it, the belligerence and arrogance just make me cringe, that lady's lovely voice seems to pure to be alongside it! Lol.
Much is beyond our control but oddly I am feeling more in control of my life than I do usually. I'm still quite overwhelmed at how much easier things are for us if we don't go out too much and don't arrange too much to do (either at home or elsewhere). I'm starting to realise how much of my rushing around has been based around accepting other people's invitations in the past - their need for company and/or something to do rather than my own. I've people wanting to meet for coffee next week - I don't really fancy it? I'm enjoying being home. I have started going for a long walk first thing - the lockdown weight has really piled on and I need to do something about it. But other than that our weekly excursion for a film and new books is plenty just now. I would like it all to be over, though. I think the waiting for what happens next is difficult for everyone xx

Cases are increasing by over 100 a day where we are at the moment, assuming these are actually being accurately counted this time. We're still a lot lower than other parts of the country which is a blessing but given that they're only testing people with symptoms I guess we can assume there are plenty wandering around who don't know they have it because they're asymptomatic? We're doing very little anyway so we still fall into the 'pretty safe' bracket from my point of view but it's still definitely something I'll be keeping a close eye on and if we go from green to amber (which is how they're colouring the maps at the moment to show the numbers of cases - green very low, amber in the middle, red very high) I think we'll be doing our own lockdown again - which looking at the terrible weather forecast wouldn't be a bad thing anyway! The good news is that we haven't had a Covid death in our area for about a month now which at least means the people catching it aren't dying but it's still a pretty worrying time xx

I think the medical treatments are improving Covid outcomes....I saw early treatment with blood thinners was helping a lot, Tupp.
I'm glad C19deaths seems to have halted, for now, in your area.

I've read various things, Lighter, they apparently have a few things now they can try to halt it in its tracks and apparently there is a thought that the mask wearing and social distancing is keeping the viral load down so people just aren't getting as strong a dose of it. But ............ it's looking pretty bleak in some ways here. Businesses are going under and financial support is being withdrawn and/or if granted, isn't adequate to keep people going. Doctors on Twitter are describing wards filling up and more and more people being admitted with medical staff having to work 18 hour shifts to cover everything. People in some care homes have apparently not seen anyone they know for seven months now, horrifying effect on mental health for some of them. I'm literally only skimming through main points just to make sure there's nothing there I need to do anything about but even so, it's not pretty reading. I think I'm just going to stock up on good books to get myself lost in and spend the next six months in a fantasy world as much as possible :) xx
