I'm concerned for my parents, who are well into their 90s, as well as myself. I have asthma, which is reasonably well controlled unless I get an infection. I've required hospitalisation twice in the last 5 years following minor infections, once resulting in bacterial pneumonia, which responded to antibiotics eventually. Luckily I rarely catch things, which I attribute to years of teaching young children! However, this is different, but it's no good getting worried. I shall look after myself, get on with living well and having fun! What will be will be.
Sadly, my son and family have had to cancel their trip from the USA to stay with us. Although, travel to the uk is not banned yet, the risk of having to isolate themselves over here is too great and would put their jobs in jeopardy. My son is a paramedic, so is probably at more risk at work than flying on an empty plane!
There were wipes in the library and in the opticians this morning. I couldn't find my antibacterial gel, but found it later under the car seat. Of course, none available in the shops.
