> it is a hard one. What I do know is that I'm very careful by nature - I wouldn't be a (low) grade soloist without that inclination. Last time I want for a walk I used my sleeves and walking pole to open and close gates and used surgical spirit to clean my hands. I got within shouting distance of one pair but that was my closest contact. Not sure how it will pan out now, but the N Pennines are usually a solitary place.
> been washing change after getting back from the shops., acccepted in a bag, never put back in the pocket or wallet. It helps to imagine coronavirus as bilogical warfare I find as the whole environment outside feels like a threat then
We took the kids to the park last night. Quick kick around with the football. Not many out, everyone being brilliant at the distancing thing. But you're right, the looks people were giving each other. That resigned smile masking fear that we Brits do when we're being stoic. Existential indeed.
