13 April 2020 : Covid-19 The New Normal

So in the garden again today, clearing out some weeds. My hubby is cleaning the patio...all seems very normal wrapped in our own little cocoon. Social distancing is becoming quite normal now. I talk to my friends on the phone, on facetime and seem to be doing ok. I like being inside, I feel safe and know that my kids are safe.

There are some that don't get the opportunity to stay inside even though I am sure that is what they would prefer to do. There are some who still don't think this is real, mostly the invincibles and continue to go out and about, meeting up with their friends. Great video on YouTube this morning about Billy (the teen) - Billy is a Twat.....and a few other choice words, but how we are all feeling about those who continue not to follow the guidelines.

Even though I feel safe in my little cocoon, I constantly think about those that have died. How sad, 11,329 deaths in total, 717 in the last 24 hours which was less than yesterday but that is probably because it is a bank holiday weekend and the data is lagging. I pray for those families that have lost loved ones, I pray that my family stay safe. My daughter who is with her boyfriend, worries me as I am not able to keep her safe. I know she is careful but I cannot see her every minute of the day as I can with my others......I pray for my mumma who continues to have her carers visit every day. They are careful and are now wearing protective clothing etc. so hopefully she will stay safe. I think there should be a memorial held in every town/village remembering those that gave their lives in the battle against coronavirus.
