Stay Safe......

Keep  Your  Distance.....

My last post on Immunity came home to roost to-day.   Despite the advice that they have been giving and the expertise of some of the greatest doctors in the world, Boris Johnson the UK Prime Minister and The Health Secretary Matt Hancock have been diagnosed with a mild version of the Virus.   They are at home in isolation – Johnson in 10 Downing Street.

Last night, the PM and Chancellor of the Exchequer were seen standing together on the steps of Downing Street, clapping along with people all over the country, giving thanks and support to National Health Staff.

On a more cheerful note, I went shopping this morning during the hour set aside for ‘vulnerable people’.   I was pleasantly surprised.   There was an air of hope among the couple of thousand people who formed an orderly queue about a mile long.    The British ‘love’ queuing because I suppose, it gives them a sense of purpose and a feeling of helping the fight against the Enemy – in this case, not the Germans, but the Virus.

They were as I said, orderly and totally obeying the security staff.   People who were more disabled other than by age (over 70’s) were being allowed into the queue and the help being given was quite honestly, amazing.

The only problem was that the vast majority were not keeping a safe distance from each other – six feet or two meters.   Had they done so, the queue would have stretched for about four miles.

Although in places like crowded London, it is almost impossible to keep a safe distance from the next person, it will, and has already proved, to be one of the best preventative measures.

Addendum:   4.30pm   The Chief Medical Advisor  has gone into isolation......
