Hello from the UK. As from Saturday everyone 70 and over will have to minimise social contact for 12 weeks. This is my husband, but not me. However I will have to be super-careful on my forays into town for food and his meds not to become infected and bring the virus home with me. Assuming that being only a few years younger I would not become severely ill myself.
I am hoping that my IF will give me a slight advantage in warding the virus off. I am also taking 1 g vit C, D3, K2 and black elderberry supplements. I have had what I hope is only a cold for about a week; feels weird being slightly under par and sitting reading all the scary news.
I am obeying all the safety precautions, for what they are worth, and am shocked that not everyone else is. I cannot vouch for all their hand-washing regimes, but some people are not staying at least 3 feet away from each other, and from me. The streets were not crowded today so this could easily be done.
Normal life will be in abeyance. Clubs and societies are cancelling meetings. I can go on my regular solitary walks, but rambling clubs have cancelled their programs, and I will not be dropping into a coffee shop at the end of my walk. I imagine that as a lot of them depend on pensioners for their trade, many cafes will soon be closing. No more bus journeys with my bus pass for a while either.
Well, at least we are well-stocked with food, soap and toilet rolls. I have no excuse for not getting stuck into the latest Hilary Mantel.

Reason: 1 mg of Vit C is pathetically useless!
