7 April 2020 : Covid-19 Intensive Care

Boris still remains in intensive care on oxygen, was a bit shocked last night but today I have been more positive, he is pretty fit and healthy so hopefully he will be fine.

Been a strange day.....work is crazy, planning for schools re-opening and making sure all that we had planned for Easter holidays is postponed and ready to go once lockdown is relaxed.

Everyone is super sensitive at the moment, extended family group chat is very fragile, no one can say anything without someone taking offence (including me!). We have all different opinions on how we feel about this pandemic, we are all dealing with it differently and need to respect that. If the conversation gets to flippant for me (cos I can't be flippant about 6,000 deaths) then I just take a break from the chat. I can't force my feelings and opinions on anyone, I don't want to fall out with anyone so I don't say much.

To end my day I found out that my old boss and mentor, lovely guy who retired 18 months ago passed away this morning. I was devastated and felt so so sad. On top of everything else going on. It wasn't Covid related from what I understand. He was suffering from a brain tumour and was slowly deteriorating. Went peacefully in his sleep surrounded by his family.

I will cherish my time with him and continue to model myself on the great leader he was and hope that I can be that leader too.
