Coronavirus and isolation

9 Replies

I am currently in self isolation at my house going out just for the absolutely necessary and wearing a mask when doing so. All I can say is that I don't have to listen to anybody but my common sense regarding this deadly disease. It is extremely contagious so do not depend on what the government or the P. M. will decide for their own reasons but take matters into your own hands and be extremely cautious. There is no need to panic just act responsibly and watch what is going on around the world. I have made my provisions a long time ago foreseeing what was coming, I wear a mask if I have to go out, I keep a distance from other people and of course wash my hands and do not touch my face. Fortunately I have a large garden so I don't feel too restricted. The elderly must not come in contact with children and young people as they might spread and transmit the virus (the young might not be sick but still be able to pass on the virus). No one knows how long this will last, I hope and pray soon to be able to live normally again. Take care all, don't panic but don't humour it either!

P. M. !? I’m gathering you’re from the U K. Good advice for everywhere. People are going crazy here in the states!! And hoarding is out of control!! How much toilet paper can a family use unless it’s a huge one 🥴😳. Common good hygiene sense. God bless everyone and especially those who are sick and vulnerable ones. Do stay safe but panicking doesn’t do anyone any good.

Install a bidet douche and you will not need much paper. Trust me 😉

Snap Kelly2. I too am in isolation. Just started to go the supermarket with my wife and stay in the car while she goes in. I totally agree being extremely cautious and using common sense is key for us all.

Take care and we will all look back at this event sometime in the future.

Tell her to wear a mask so that she doesn't bring it to you and have disinfectant tissues for her hands in the car.

All good advice and love the calm and strong sense of taking action and responsibility...

In reality Kelly, you are simply stating what measures we should all be considering, in my view...

Stay happy & healthy... and keep smiling all... we will all get though this if we look after each other...

Best wishes

Steve

Hi Steve, thank you. Yes I thought it would be useful to share what precautions I take as I would hate it if people get sick because of lack of responsibility to ourselves and others. If people can stay in their houses this would be the best measure to take. Take care and this will pass too.

I totally agree with you. I've never believed that it's no use to wear a mask, if, only if everyone wear a mask when they're out in the public at this critical time, IT WILL HELP. We have a lot to learn from some Asian countries how to keep covid19 at bay. I am staying at home for 12 weeks and like you, I just go to shop or GP when absolutely necessary, we all do our part and I believe things will improve. Stay safe everyone.

It seems that the virus is promoting blood thickness so the doctors give medicines, blood thinners, to take care of that too to those who are sick.

Not what you're looking for?
