20th April. Lockdown extended for another 3 weeks, and I would guess that I’m not going to be going out for the rest of the year. If there is a vaccination which is effective it could be earlier - but these take at least 18 months.
My little WhatsApp support group is about 17 members now, from Poole to Falmouth. Messages every day.
I’m just about coping with things, but it’s getting harder constantly worrying about whether I’ve got symptoms. My friends little boy Karies has had a temperature for 2 or 3 days now. Not excessively high, but worrying all the same.
Saving money, the wildlife are exploring new places which are now suddenly quiet.

COVID-19
Sudden unexpected change of lifestyle. Have been in isolation for five weeks now. Have now been getting groceries delivered to home. Medicines too. Don’t see anyone.
The country, like half the world is in lockdown as a result of the spread of a virus which originated in China, back in January. The Corona virus or CoVid-19.
Currently over 100,000 deaths. Over 10000 in the UK. The US has over 500,000 people infected.
Neighbours are spying on each other and informing the police when they think they are breaking the social distancing rules. Anyone who criticises the government is vilified, even though their reaction to the spread of the virus, and their initial strategy for controlling it were badly flawed - basically allowing the virus to spread unchecked, on the basis that the more people that were infected the better - building up a ‘herd immunity’.
There are no easy answers however.
Many conspiracy theories exist.
I’m fine for the minute, but not sure how I will ever be able to mix normally again until such time as a vaccination is found.
