Hopefully you are not one of those hundreds of people. Anyone showing those symptoms needs to isolate themselves.
Further to my earlier posts about upcoming trip to UK to help parents move, I spoke to Mum this morning and she recognizes the very real possibility that I could get stuck there and doesn't think I should go. Which is the conclusion I came to but am so relieved that the final decision came from her. |

Re: Coronavirus
They should have stopped conventions sooner, a good chunk of the newest cases in BC are linked to a dental convention March 6-7 and anyone who attended is asked to self isolate. I wonder if this is the real reason our dentist closed suddenly today. Wife is worried as she went to the dentist 2 times this month.
Vancouver Aquarium is closing. |

Re: Coronavirus
I found myself watching announcements by different governments today and couldn't help wondering whether my parents had similar emotions when listening to the BBC.
It was a feeling that events were unfolding and decisions were being taken that would affect me about which I had no control it led me to wonder how they must have felt in the late 30's. Of course I'm being self indulgent here, comparing my lot with them, but I found myself imagining them seated around a radio listening to events as they were described to them by the BBC. Today we are informed in a way they could never imagine and yet this doesn't reduce the impact of events as they're portrayed hour after hour in their minutest detail. It's feeling of helplessness, of being like a small boat being carried along a swift flowing river. In their case it meant my father going to war for six years and my mother being evacuated and of course food rationing. In my case it means carrying on much as I do now. I suppose it's made me understand a little more the difficulties they must have put up with, and something they never really spoke much about. |

I'm hearing you Dave :thumbup: Without wanting to sound too dramatic, I don't think any of us will ever take our blissfully 'ordinary' lives quite so much for granted again.

I think I'll either be dead or everything will go back to being much the same as before. I imagine the coronavirus fuss will seem like the Biafran famine; awful for the participants, a source of some good jokes, otherwise forgotten.
