Lockdown

We've just heard from our PM again and we're essentially in lockdown starting at midnight and lasting at least until Easter. We're being asked to not leave our homes, except for certain essential journeys. We can go out for walks, but must stay within 2 kilometres of home and keep 2 metres of distance between ourselves and anyone who does not reside in our household. No gatherings in the home that involve anyone outside the household are allowed.

The Chief Medical Officer also spoke and he said there is some evidence that the social distancing we've already been doing is having a positive effect, but we're in a new phase now.

We were reminded of the fact that the government is making decisions based on the science. I am grateful for this, along with so many other things.

Stay safe, keep your distance, and wash your hands, everyone!

Most people are socially wired and when we are told to keep a safe distance from our fellow humans we don't want to.
But it is a safety net for now and we must do all we can to not spread this terrible virus.

You and Bill stay safe. Though we have never met in person I consider you both friends.

Stay safe 🌷

I think it's crazy that every town is not on lockdown!
