2 April 2020 : Covid-19 To Mask or Not to Mask

So another sad day, over 500 dead in 24 hours bringing the total to nearly 3,000. 500 in the first three weeks and 2300 in the last week alone. I am beyond devastated, feeling the pain for all of those families.

I have my moments of lightheartedness when writing these texts, hence the funny gifs, if I didn't I would never get to sleep. Spoke to my neighbour today and he told me he has had a cough for a few days, nothing serious bit like mine where it just seems to be you want to expel something from your body. He said he still felt a bit rough and I told him I felt the same. I have been a bit breathless today just after hanging out the washing. We are all becoming so paranoid about whether we have the virus or not. Will it get worse, will I die, if I have it I am over the worst of it. I have a massive headache but again this could be the stress. The stress of all of this, the stress of work which is so busy, construction still continues and there are schools to build and refurb - I have the privilege of working from home, those in construction who are self employed do not, I feel blessed, stay safe y'all.

The most recent discussions today were around whether the general public should wear a mask. I have a mask, I make my husband wear a mask every time he goes to the shop, which isn't often. I only wore mine whilst unpacking the shopping (I know pathetic). I am going to make some masks at the weekend and insist he wears it whilst out walking the dog and my daughter wears on when out for her walks with her boyfriend....if we had the antibody test we would all know if we had it and recovered and can get out there and help......
