    @neph93 and all out there who I know will be sympathising, thank you.

    It truly has been a surreal and horrible couple of days, this dreadful virus (that many of us became a little complacent about) has just hit the heart of my family with my Mum and younger brother both seriously ill in hospital.  My older sister was the "angel of mercy" who intervened when we realised that things were getting bad (in the house where my mum, her partner and my brother live), so she's also now at high risk of being infected.  All the hospital staff are being amazing.  Because no-one can visit I am having regular calls (on behalf of the family) with nurses and doctors, nothing is too much trouble and they are proactively sharing information by calling me if anything changes.

    Giles or I will post an update at some point.  Meanwhile, all of you, please stay as safe as you possibly can and my heart goes out to any of you who are affected, or have family/loved ones affected, by Covid.

    AKA Mrs G

          Hoping for the best, Paula…

          What pisses me off is what people are going to the shops for... Pack of crisps... Really?..

            @Madame Buttonfly You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  I’m sure that most of us agree, @Giles could you give her a big hug from all of us.

                    My thoughts are with you Paula and Giles. Thank you for sharing a very difficult and personal situation to help us understand the real impact of this dreadful virus. Hoping things turn around for them both xx.

                        I’m also hoping for a full recovery for your family. It’s really hard when you can’t be there to see and comfort them. @Giles you said it right. I leave work on lunches during the day and go to the grocery store for 1’s and 2’s just to get the blood flowing and a change of scenery.

                        It’s not a reason to increase exposure to Covid.

                            I see this so much and just shake my head..people don't seem to take it seriously for some reason.
                            Sending prayers and a speedy recovery to your family.

                              Paula's mum has been placed on "end of life care".  Mark (her brother) remains very poorly…..

                                      Jesus tapdancing christ I read "end of life support" and interpreted it all wrong for a second…

                                      Anyway: come on Mark!..

                                        My prayers are with you.. @Madame Buttonfly speedy recovery for your mum and brother.
                                        I know the pain of the mother ??? I went through it when my mon passed away four years ago. Don’t wish it on anyone stay positive.
                                        Keep your hopes up and chin up my dear.

                                        I had the covid 19 back in November last year before it got announced in December.
                                        My family members one by one had it.
                                        I had lost of smell, taste and very poorly. My body was aching last for two weeks.

                                        I had to fight it at home..

                                          I'm really sorry to hear about this and I hope both of them can manage to recover, even at this late stage.

                                          It's interesting that the nurse told you that supermarkets are one of the biggest dangers.  From what I've read, shopping is relatively low risk because you are constantly moving and stores are usually large.  Going to the supermarket is one of the few risky things I've done in the last few months (the other is going to the dentist).  I try to go late at night and be out in 15 minutes.  Now I'm scared that I should be even more careful.
