I live in rural North Devon and so far we have no COVID19 cases in our local hospital. The hospital has just 8 ICU units so you see how small it is.
The stream of caravans heading here over the last few days has been stunning.
As of yesterday I’ve now decided to stay at home as despite being just 48 I have had type 1 diabetes for 37 years, Myasthenia Gravis (another auto immune disease, and to trump all that I’m having a quadruple heart bypass in a couple of weeks. So I’m well into the ‘at higher risk’ category unfortunately.
Over the last week I can’t say I’ve noticed any effort to social distance, in fact the beaches have been packed and it’s getting busier day on day.
My wife is worried about bringing it home too but her employer isn’t over sympathetic about her home working although this is perfectly doable.
The sooner Boris actually makes social distancing law and not a polite suggestion the better.
Maybe I’m sensitive to the situation but it beggars belief the way some people are behaving.
Hope everyone stays safe and common sense prevails.
