My husband has been self-isolating since early days because he takes medication that severely compromises his immune system. He also happens to work for a large cancer trust hospital (he's non-medical) and has been working from home two days a week for the past year or so, so it wasn't difficult for him to switch to full time. Because it is a cancer hospital, other than the most urgent of treatments, they are in protective mode. Making sure their patients stay virus free.
We moved from the US to the UK five years ago. My daughter was 11 and it was a huge change in schooling methods. She's done a remarkable job and has worked so very hard for her GCSEs and now, nothing. No leavers parties, no prom, and no GCSEs. I'm so disappointed for her. Will she be attending college in the autumn as planned?
Thankfully, she does not require homeschooling. I would totally be the day drinker homeschool mum were that the case. There is a reason I did not pursue education as a career path.
It's all well and good encouraging home delivery for groceries, but in my area (Crewe), there are not any slots available. Period. I don't drive here but I am lucky, there is a well stocked retail park across the road that includes an Aldi. I am regretting my disdain for the Grannie's Shopping Trolley and am debating using a suitcase to collect as much food as I can. I am also low on gin.
Mostly, though, I am worried and scared.
@HongKongPhooey , I hope you make a complete recovery.
