How are you all?

[chloe40]

I do hope you are managing to stay well during this period of uncertainty. The virus is a real worry for all of us but we must try to carry on as best we can.

Do pop in and let me know how you are.

Thinking of you all.

Hi chloe, thank you for thinking of us, the virus is a worry and there's a lot of wild predictions, in the UK and Northern hemisphere the days are getting longer the sun stronger and UV rays zap virus'.

It is going to be very disruptive and its causing a lot of uncertainty so we will have to be mindful and it's turned everything upside down with holidays cruises and big events being avoided.

Personally I feel optimistic as it's a flu like virus so it will come and it will go and then we will have the next melodrama...

So you take care now,

Jerry 😊

Hi Jerry,

I worry that all the hype is making many feel very concerned and panicky and I have to admit that it worries me more and more, especially living in and urban area.

The best we can do is follow the advice given and wash hands regularly (sure we do that anyway) and avoid busy areas, easier said than done for those who have to go to work by tube, I couldn't think of anything worse and I really feel for these people.

The sun shone at times today and I was thankful for that

Hi Chloe, how you feel is understandable as it's here on our doorstep and there's lots of speculation casuing fear.

I feel concerned and don't know how it will pan out and feel that the healthier we can eat and keep ourselves the more resilient we will be to any virus' or infections.

And the sun was lovely here it was very Spring like in the afternoon. 😊

Absolutely Jerry and I've pruned a large plant in the garden, only one mind as it's cold and damp out there but it's a start!

I think they should stop scaremongering myself!

[chloe40 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

Yes, I think the situation isn't made easier by all the hype!

Am I right or wrong to think that this virus is much more in the media than others we have had?

I went into Tescos and noticed that they had sold out of ALL the Cheapest Penne. Not the regular ones, just the bags for 28p. Then it just hit me how around me this thing is. My heart goes out to all those carers that need sanitary products to do their caring and are now tempted to pay extortionate online prices. Hearing these stories from the people themselves makes matters worse.

One news item said that it would take about two months before it peaks. So I really hope none of us are too on edge. I feel grateful for having coped with one or two medial problems recently so I hope I can be brave enough to support those worse off.

I completely agree with you Greyone

The hype has been very scary for many myself included, and it hasn't helped at all. Now toilet rolls have become scarce? it just creates panic, someone, somewhere has a stash of them I suspect.

Stay calm

Chloe
