The Isolation Blog

A place for those of us in lockdown (currently Spain but coming to a place near you soon) to share what's happening or indeed what's not happening, have a winge, report on what's happening "outside" etc. It could also be used for updating who has supplies of toilet rolls in stock

Bogart, I hope you're right....... that has to be a first

I'd just sooner beating it didn't have to decimate the population in the process.

So today I went shopping for the first time in two weeks... that was interesting. It shows me how much we take for granted .:)

Oh and today I had more visitors.

I don't invite them... I promise.

Luke, I think it will hit poorer countries, or should I say poorer communities within countries, much harder and faster.
If you live without running water and basic sanitation, how can you sanitise? If numerous people/families live a close quarters in a small space, how can you self- isolate? If you are poor and hungry, how can you stay inside instead of trying to feed your family?

If you are uneducated, how will you fully understand the instructions and consequences?

Molly, on your comment to Luke, if you think being poor and uneducated creates problems have a look at the London underground this morning, Londoners are neither poor or uneducated.

Mol, you have valid points there although the Gov is going out of its way to educate the masses in their own language plus sending out advisors to the far off corners. Ramaphosa is trying his best. Hope you and your dad is keeping well.

Yeah I guess so, if for some reason the coffee runs out, tea would be fine.

Other than that, a lot of communists drink tea.

The British women tourist pictured last week swimming in a hotel pool here, and having to be dragged out kicking and screaming by the police, who had to go in the pool as she refused to get out, has been named as Joanne Rust, 53, from King’s Lynn, Norfolk, and no points for guessing she was a Labour candidate at the last election
