Self Isolation - are you worried?
Watch this postWe are worried about Self Isolation - I have a number of questions?
How do you get shopping-what about going to the doctors?
How do we get essentials?
None of these have been covered by Boris and his friends.
They should put up a website that tells us older folk what we should be doing.
What happens if I get a home delivery?...should I then wash my hands as the deliverer may have Coronavirus?
The questions go on and on

When it came to booking my usual grocery delivery, all the time slots were full.
When I eventually got my shopping, I only had about three quarters of it.
I have no toilet roll, no bleach and no bottled water.
To all those who are selfishly stock piling in order to self isolate, please consider your less abled neighbours.
I have offered to add shopping for my neighbours to my next delivery if they can't cope with the supermarket hysteria. I keep telling my grown up children think back to the war when there was rationing and coupons and no supermarkets!
I’m really well but over sixty and asked if it could be postponed as I don’t really want to expose myself to the possibility of picking anything up from other patients at this time. No chance, it’s turn up or forgo essential medication. I find this attitude difficult to understand.
