May the 4th be with you

I'm aware that it is actually may the 5th that I'm writing this but I must confess I am a huge star wars fan and yesterday was the official star was day. over the past two weeks I have been watching the star wars movies in chronological order from the very first to the very last and I have to say I feel I have a better understanding of it even though I have watched each movie many times.   It has been something I have been doing to pass the time while the virus is attacking,  but we do seem to have a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel .


They say that the death rate in England has continued to fall and infections are on the way down, but we are still not out of the woods yet . This coming Sunday it is said that Boris Johnson is to give a speech that will cover how England will begin its exit out of lockdown, but the path is a long and slow one. But now England has announced it has the highest deaths in Europe and that we started testing way to late.

My honest feeling is that when something like this happens and god I hope it will never happen again to anywhere or anybody, what is the right thing to do?, I always thought that you see what other people do and asses what works best and use that.

I do  know that something like this must be jumped on ASAP, if not it can spread very quickly. I think that when it's all over rather than pointing the finger of blame we should learn together how to stop it ever happening again.

please look after each other

Borris bounces back

England seems to now be turning the tide on the horrible virus that has now taken over the world, and possibly changes some ways for all time. However, they say not that England has passed the peak, that we are over the worst of it but it is no time to let up just yet.

They have explained  that the best way to imagine it is like  there is a scale from zero to 3.  now if the scale is at 3 that means that one person is infecting 3 people and that means it is accelerating and if the scale is at 2 then it is still not great, and  at one that means it is level but if the scale drops below one that means that one person might infect one in 3 people which means that it is at a manageable level. but if restrictions are lifted to early the scale could easily go back up to 3.  they said at the moment England is at 0.6 on the scale, so we are on the downward spiral and they have said that Thursday of next week they might be able to discuss easing some restrictions and talk about a exit strategy.

I should imagine its like walking on ice in a way,  it must be navigated and trod very carefully or under we will go.  I want nothing more than for them to say, we lift all restrictions and I can go to be with my beautiful Jenn.  but I also know it will take a little more time .

there has been several vaccine tests from different countries and so far none have done so good but they say they wont have full results until June.

it does seem that we are winning this fight, but we haven't beaten it yet we must stay strong and stand together if we are to beat it  and we will very soon .   the end of this horrible virus is now in sight and while we must wait longer we will watch this virus choke on its self and die .

please look after each other .

Economy before health?

They Say that it is now on the back end of the Virus, and the statistics show that they could be right, I am very much hoping so because I want to get back to my beautiful Jenn , but we have lost so many already  and that is the sad part. I really do think that the virus will die off very soon and be gone as quickly as it appeared.." I hope" , but now some places are talking about opening some places back up and easing restrictions , but is it to soon, while yes we are now on the come down in England it seems the virus is still out there, still killing people and for us to start easing up at this moment in my opinion is a big mistake, but I do hope I'm wrong. 

I think that the thing that worries me most about it is that some governments are saying, its to help their economy....REALLY?? you are gonna put money before health, I know it takes money to keep places going, but what's money gonna do if you got no body to pay it to? 

Wohan is pretty much on its way back to normal , but they are still not 100% there yet but patience is key with this thing, because it wont care if you have money or not, if you are unfortunate enough to get it, then it doesn't care how rich you are. 

I read once how in 1918, Philadelphia  prematurely ended its quarantine from the Spanish flu to throw a parade to boost moral for the war effort. some 200,000 people lined the streets on that late September day. Within 72 hours every bed in Philadelphia's 31 hospitals was filled  and the city ended up with 4,500 people dying from the flu or its complications within a matter of days.  

there is a lesson to be learned .. if we don't learn from the lessons of the past  we are condemned to repeat it. 

I do hope and pray that it will all be over very soon and we can all go back to our normal lives, that loved ones will be re united everywhere will be open again, but lets just treat carefully . our lives are far more important than any amount of money. 

please look after each other.

At the peak.

So apparently, this week England has hit the "peak" of the virus and is now levelling out, but the death rate per day is some where just over 800 per day, that is a awful lot of people to be lost in fact way to many and it makes me think that when this is all over some SERIOUS questions are going to be asked.

Without doubt the superstars of this entire crisis are the Medical staff not just in England but world wide , these guys and girls risk their lives every day , are under equipped and way underpaid for what  they do . I have a question, how is it that a sports personality such as Football players or race drivers, who ever but sports players get paid sometimes millions a year  for what they do which lets face it is a privilege while the medical staff of this world who are on the front line would often have to work their entire working life would not earn half of that when they have retired? often they have to rely on their pension money which is still not enough to cover their monthly bills.

I'm not saying playing sports is easy at that level, but the key word there is "PLAYING"  well how about the key word for medical staff..."SAVING"..saving lives.. saving the world , they work often days on end at the moment without rest, or without the right equipment and sacrifice so much , they are the true heroes and I thank them every day for what they do world wide .

so now that we are at the peak, that to me suggests that we are now going to slowly see this virus weaken and die off, it may take a couple more months but we are winning,  but now is no time to let up on it.

Please look after each other and thank you for reading this

3 more weeks???

So over the last few days since my last blog, things have got a bit more crazy,  while England is locking down more , trump is trying to get the lockdown lifted.

So England has seen its highest death rate in a day somewhere over 800 in one day, that is terrible and I feel sorry for whom ever has lost someone to this awful virus.

Amidst all this chaos though are glimmers of hope  and beacons of light that show what and who humans truly can be . I refer to the legendary Captain Tom Moore,   the 99 year old veteran who was in ww2 and defended our country is again fighting for our country  but this time not with a gun but with his legs and heart, walking 100 laps of his garden to raise money for the NHS. a true symbol of English courage and determination embodied in this great man.

Some are now saying that England has reached its peak in the virus and that it will hold steady for a week or so before it starts to decline , I truly hope that it will get better very soon, way to many have already died because of this .

please keep  your selves safe and look after each other

Day 16,17,18 time to dig deep

Over the last few Days England has been taking a beating from the Covid 19 we have lost somewhere near 900 people in one day.  Boris Johnson is now out of intensive care after been there for about 3 days, I really don't agree with some of his ways as a prime minister but as a person I truly hope he will make a full recovery and be home with his family soon.

they say that we will soon reach the peak here in England so now its time to dig in and hold our ground. Mom often talks about how we coped in WW2, well how grandad talked about it and how we we were on rations and there were power cuts  and how when England has its back in a corner we have a reputation of fighting our way out of it.

I love American football and I love the 49ers , I have followed them for a long time since about 1986. and one of my hero's from that team the great Jerry rice said we can beat this thing, but we haven't beaten it yet , right now its the 4th quarter and we have to dig deep we have to choke it out.

I say the same and I believe that we can beat this ugly virus, Wohan has beaten it and now its over Europe , Spain and Italy have seen a fall in deaths over the last couple of days. Its almost like a wave going across the land, you can see the wave intensifying and subsiding and right now the peak of the wave is about to hit England and the way to beat is to hold on tight and take a deep breath and ride the wave. when something reaches a peak it means it can only go down from there and this virus is the same. once we get past the peak it will weaken , it will choke, it will die because everything that has a beginning has a end and this virus will end. we have lost so many and the way to  say that they did not die for nothing is to not let this virus win.

Please keep safe and look after each other

days 13 14 and 15, Wohan lead the way.

So England is now almost 3 weeks in to its  lockdown, all in all people are doing there part now as they relies the seriousness of the situation at hand and perhaps a few have realised that while they may think they are immortal, and if they are lucky they will only suffer mild symptoms if any, they can so easily pass it on to some one who is not as fortunate. as I have always said, please look after each other.

Our prime minister Boris Johnson has been taken in to hospital 2 days ago and is spending his third day in intensive care, his situation is " improving " I can't really say I like him as a prime minister, but I never wish the man ill will and I wish him a speedy recovery, but also this shows that the virus does not discriminate between rich or poor, each one of us is just as likely as the next to get it , that reminds me of some movie I saw where a general was stood and saying to his men, no place is safe, one place is just as good as the next .

Wohan, the place where it all began has now all but beaten the virus,  or should I say they rode it out, the virus has taken so many there but now they have had no cases for about a week and are now lifting restrictions on travel, I saw pictures of people looking so happy to be outside again, seeing old friends and traveling home to their loved ones. I am so longing for the day I get to go and be with my Beautiful Jenn again, and seeing those people made me know that it wont be long, that this virus can be beaten and that it will come to a end, I prey that no one els has to suffer.

England is now nearing its peak , so far we have lost 7000 people to this terrible virus, but I truly hope we don't lose any more, Wohan has shown us the way, let us use them as a example and get this thing over with, I know we can do it. England has a way of fighting its way out of a corner and I know we, and the world will make it. please look after your selves , but mostly look after each other.

days 11 and 12 staying safe

two weeks in to this lockdown stuff and I can see it is starting to take a toll on some people, its really not easy adapting to such a change, at one point you could go out talk to anybody and shake hands  with anybody  you didn't have to stay 2 meters away,  you would give people their respected distance but not by 2 meters.  the streets were full and shops open, takeaway and fast food places open.

Now at this minute it is the total opposite of all of the above. nothing is open apart from essential places such as supermarkets that serve food. from my house it seems like its not real, that I will go outside and it will all be normal  but that illusion is soon shattered when I cycle to work.

At work we are now taking measures to ensure the safety of the customers and the staff, I really try to be not to harsh with them and I almost try to have fun with the customers on it while making sure that I keep the safety first.

I don't want to deny any customers accesses to what they need but if they pose a risk then I have to make sure that I put life before anything .

at work I have a list of questions I must ask each customer that enters the store, I try to make it as quick as possible for them.  Just the other day I asked a customer if they or any of their household had experienced even a mild symptom of covid 19 and they said yes I asked again to confirm and they said yes, now at this point I said, I'm very sorry but I can not allow you in the store .

The customer became very upset and stormed out of the store saying things as they left.  I felt bad for them , but I must put safety above all  especially in the store where venerable people come to shop.
the customer  then returned to explain that they had been 3 weeks since they had any symptoms but they were still very angry  but I did not allow them in .

its sad to see that its come to that for anybody.


On the positive side word is about that Wohan is returning to normal , slowly but its happening  and Italy has reached its peak and is now on the downward side of the virus, Spain is the same.  The tide is turning on this virus and its time will soon be over.  England where I live is reaching the peak and like over countries we have lost so many, to many to this horrid virus . I truly hope that we will learn from this virus so that anything like it will never happen again. I do have thoughts on it such as maybe if the world didn't concentrate so much on weapons and wars, that all that money could go to defeating the real enemy of humanity which is viruses like this one. I once heard someone say that if we used all the money we had spent on wars for research and other things that we would  be colonising mars by now.

We will beat this virus, we are already starting to fight back. just hang in there and look after each other

Right at the door days 9 and 10

So the corona virus has now been confirmed in my block which has only 6 residents. So its here, right on my doorstep, the man who had it was a truly great man and was diagnosed with cancer around a year ago , I spoke with him often and he really was a wonderful guy, old but funny, and wise. unfortunately he passed away just yesterday, Due mainly to Cancer, but he tested positive for Corona virus just the day before he died.  I'm sure so many of you out there have already faced this scenario I now face and that you have all taken precautions as you see fit to tackle this horrid Virus, but as always please keep as safe as you can and above all please look after each other , I truly believe that if we all do our part that we will  be over this far faster.

I live with my mother, she is 73 years young but has had pneumonia in the past and it has left her with C.O.P.D  basically scar tissue on the lungs. while it is low lying it could cause problems if she was to get corona virus, but she does not let this get to her . She was a nurse for 34 years and dealt with many outbreaks and she says the same as a lot of people who I know that are nurses and doctors , so many places were to slow to act on this , it should have been contained way faster.

I tell my customers to make sure and stay safe and well every time I serve them, not just because of the virus, but I always  tell them this anyway.  they are saying that it should come to a peak within the next to weeks here.. but what does that mean, does it mean it will slow after that day or will it remain at a peak for a  week,  I often think that a virus is mostly like a forest fire, it cant burn a burnt tree, and they seem to think this one is the same as in once you have had it, you are immune. I hope this is true.

Ultimately we will beat this virus and we should learn from it, the media still seem to be only highlighting the deaths and people who have it, while this is terrible and I truly feel for anybody who is suffering from it and especially those who have lost loved ones to it , I do think the media should also make a big focus on how many people have actually recovered from this virus , why are the media not so willing to talk about that?.

todays recovered stands at 220, 025 and that's confirmed cases, they say many people who have recovered have not even been tested , and apparently 80% of those who do get it only suffer mild symptoms and having talked to a friend who had a friend says  that the person who had it actually thought they just had a cough. I hope that this will be the case for everyone.

Stay safe and take care of each other and thank you for reading

Day 8, the world is a different place.

Just 6 weeks ago for me  the world was a different place, as was for most people, it was the January sales still and life was buzzing around everywhere, I was thinking how in just 6 weeks I would have been in America with my beautiful Jenn. I was so exited and was getting dollars and getting my train tickets. Now, its like some earth apocalypse has happened, its like when a guy wakes up after been in a coma to find he is the only one alive, Well not that drastic but you get the idea. I had just had week of work not because I was ill or anything , but holidays renew in April and if you have any left over you lose them. my shop has become nothing short of airport security, I'm having to ask people if what they are planning to buy is essential and if not to turn them away, I can understand restrictions and that its to keep people safe but it still isn't great. cycling to work there used to be a car overtake me every couple of seconds,  now I could cycle in the middle of the road and not get beeped at or overtaken for almost the entire ride.  its becoming a bit like a ghost town, but I know when we defeat this horrid virus and we will, that the buzz of life will be back and the world will be back to normal, well at least as humans know it .

todays recovered stands at 176,545.

please stay safe and look after eachother

Lockdown Day 6 and 7

well they have increased restrictions in terms of exercise, apparently now they have said that if your a runner  you should only run for 30 minutes, as well as keeping your 2 meter distance, if you walk it should only be for a hour, and again keeping a 2 meter distance from all others. it kind of sucks because I love to be able to go for a good run, usually about 6 or 7 miles and it takes me about a hour to complete. I guess there are two options, first I run really fast and complete 6 miles in 30 minutes, now I am fit but that is pushing it seen as my run is about 70% up hill, option 2 is set a timer and make sure I'm back within 30 minutes which is the more logical. Now more than ever I appreciate the freedom that we have , never before did I think about keeping my distance from everybody or only 3 items in a store and it makes me think, I cant wait till its all gone.

the prime minister  Boris Johnson has now got it and fair do to him, he is self isolating, he still gets paid a hell of a lot but he is self isolating and it seems that now more than ever it hits home, this is not just a virus for the poor or the homeless  its not some dirty disease that only people who abuse their bodies in some way get, no this is something that treats everyone the same.

In London they have got a new hospital up and running and it has been done extremely fast to help treat the people who are suffering from covid-19. now I'm not trying to point any fingers here, but where has the money for this come from when just 5 months ago, they couldn't afford it ? and what will happen to the building after its over with, the ones they built in china from what I hear are now empty because everyone has recovered or recovering.  how about putting it to good use, there are a lot of homeless people out there who could really use a warm bed and some food and  a roof for the night.

they have recently said that the death rate from Covid-19 is around 1.8% and no death is good, but lets switch that around for a second, if that is the death rate then that means that the recovery rate is 98.2%.

if we all just work together and stick to what we know we are suppose to do we will be over it way faster and lets hope that no one has to die. and when it is all over, perhaps it will make us realise just how important life is, that each person is so precious to someone and so should be to every one.

I would trade all I own for a person who I care about to live. the thing that scares me most is not that I would get it, but the people who I love would get it, I would be so worried if my beautiful Jenn got it, or my mother  or any of my family. so far we have all been lucky.

I know that the world will pull through and in months soon to come it will all return back to normal but until then, look after each other


recovered so far stands at 160,148.

Day 5, Corona takes priority

Today started out as a normal day but would soon take a sinister twist.
I got up and had my daily porridge and got ready and cycled to work, so far normal really, well as normal can be considering the Corona virus has the world upside down, so I got to work and started to get stuff done.  about a hour in I see a co worker heading toward me with the phone,  this often happens when a customer has a enquiry but on the other side of the phone was my mother, and she sounded very upset.   she said that my uncle John had called her and he has been given 5 months to live.  He has cancer and he had no idea he was just going for a routine check up and they sat him down and told him that he has at most 5 to 6 months left. How do you even begin to soak that up, does it register... do you freak out, I have no Idea but I left work and cycled home to make sure my mother was ok.  She was very upset and crying, I did what I could to try and make her feel better, but with something like this there is no feeling better for a while at least.  They told my uncle that with the corona virus that they could not really do much for him so  now he will be spending a good while confined to his house, something like this really couldn't come at a worse time.  My mother was most upset because she fears she will not got to physically see him before the corona is over. My uncle and my mother are not the best at technology and neither of them have a modern phone  so I now decided to try and convince them both to try and get skype.  this is really the only safe way I can think of at this moment for them to be able to see each other.

Todays recovery rate stands at 139,555.

they say that once you have had it, you are immune, I hope that is right  and I hope that nobody els has to die.

thank you for reading and stay safe and look after not just your self , but each other.

Day 4 , Crazy people

so its day 4 of the lockdown that they say will be 3 weeks, but I do wonder if it will be longer.
I went shopping with my mother today to help her as she has arthritis and struggles to walk.  because my mother is dependant on a wheel chair or a scooter to help her around the shop they let her in  ahead of the que even though we said we were happy to wait in line.  they were only letting people in so many at a time.  once in the store, there were markers on the floor showing which way a isle should be walked down so that there was no crossing paths and at the checkouts there were markers to make sure everyone was 2 meters apart. not what  I am used to but given the situation I am fully prepared to adapt to keep my self and everyone around me safe. the toilet paper in shops is still very low on stock and the same for hand sanitizers.  but they are recovering.

speaking of recovery  todays recovery number stands at 132,526 while a lot of people are still catching it , the recovered are gaining ground, and if everybody who has got it has become immune then this virus is doing what we call burning bridges, it  will choke its self out , I just hope that as many people as possible stay safe and well. We can and We WILL beat it.

I think the worst part of this crazy thing that I have heard is that... some people have been coughing and spitting at the police saying they have corona virus.. I mean what the hell??? how low can you be to do such a thing,  its irresponsible.. its just beyond words.

thank you for reading today  :)

Day 3 Thank you Emergancy services

So its the third day in this lockdown and it seems to be working where people are abiding by the rules. but there are many people who are just paying no attention to it  , out and about like its a summer holiday, I can understand it can be very hard  to stick with it, but the rules are simple. 

only go out for essentials such as shopping or exercise or work if your a key or essential worker.

Where I work I am considered a essential worker  and I have a letter to say I am authorised to travel to work , just in case I get stopped along the way.  but some people are walking around in big groups and this poses a big risk at the moment. 

So today at 8pm we all cheered for the workers of the NHS = National Health Service. they are at the very front line of the virus and put them selves at risk every day , they work long hours and with often little thanks. My mother was a nurse for 33 years, she told me  a lot of stories and gave me a deep appreciation for the medical profession.  THANK YOU to all the medical services all over the world. 

Today there are 123.337 recovered from the virus. 

I  was glad to be going to work today, it was nice to get out of the house I cycle the route there and back  and I was actually able to take my time a little today and the sun felt good on my face. im glad the spring is here. 

thank you for reading , and keep hope close and we will make it through.

Day 2

Well look at me writing on here for 3 days in a row now,  but what can I do, I am still working and managing to get out for a run, but apart from that and like everyone else I'm on lockdown for 3 weeks.

It's actually not so bad and I am finding that I am able to keep my self occupied in ways I would never normally turn my hand to, I am reading, writing on here and also I find that with been home more I am getting to talk with my mother more . Me and Jenn get to talk every night and most of the day , but it does make me realise just how grateful I am for the technology of today.

I know that this will all come to a end one day in the not to distant future, and when it does, Ill be on the first flight over to be with my beautiful Jenn.

So what's the update for today, Well looking at the news its nothing but corona virus. I have found a thing on my phone that tells of total infected which at this second stands at 463,387. and that is what the news is harping on about but they are not telling the number of recovered so I will and again at this second it stands at 113,802.  I just hope that everyone is staying safe and looking after each other.

When I am on my run I go for about 6 to 7 miles, I go through the woods in a attempt to keep a reasonable distance from other people  and even if I do see other people I will always stop off the path to the side and let them pass first.  It does go through my mind " do they have it,,, do they think I have it?"  these people who before would walk so close together and some hand in hand arm in arm are now walking apart from each other

I am a very optimistic person and I do believe that the best will come out of a situation, and surly it will come to a end and when it does, people will embrace, the pound will shoot up, restaurants will have wait times of 2 hours. people like me and my beautiful Jenn will be together again . It will happen and soon. if anybody does read this I hope it will give you hope  and that you can relate

thank you for reading and ill write again tomorrow :)

The first full Day

So this is the first full day that England has been on lockdown, the first day of my life I have been on lockdown, it feels so strange. I keep asking my self, is this real... am I going to wake up at some moment?? but yes its real.. as real as it gets. but is it that serious?? yes it is that serious .

We are still allowed basic time outside as in exorcise and shopping or work for essential workers and they are even advising for those people to work from home were possible, now I know that one thing is annoying about it above most for me,  they are saying.. so many people infected... but why are they not saying that 108,300 people out of the 400,000 confirmed cases have fully recovered and gone home, I think that would be such a big help for people as it would show that this thing does have a end,, that if we just hold steady we can make it.

Some people are being very selfish, I head about some people having Bbqs and that there were 20 people there,  others bunching up ,  now I am very aware that the hardest thing to do is break a habbit, especially one that we are so used to and have been told all our lives to do.. get out there and meet people, but we need to try to stop that, its for 3 weeks at the moment. but it could be longer if we dont follow the rules.

Years ago we stopped a invading force, in ww2 the world stood together and fought for our future. while the enemy is different the idea is the same,  maybe im not making much sense to anybody els but  i am in my head . we must fight it , England is a great country and we have a great opportunity to help the rest of the world. we should take a stand, and unite to fight the virus. We stop it HERE!!!

there is a small town called Eyam , its not to far from where I am, and when the plague hit England,  this very small town stood their ground and stopped it dead in its tracks, they had to make sacrifices  but they did what had to be done and thanks to those people... we survived..  they were heroes and we could be heroes too, its up to us, not just in England but everywhere.

England on lockdown

So today at around 8pm Borris Johnson Decided to put England on lockdown due to the Covid 19 - Corona virus, So what does that mean???  Well basically all none essential movement of any kind is not allowed. If you are caught out without a valid reason you could get fined or arrested,  groups of people are not allowed over 2 unless  you are of the same house hold.

the valid reasons you can be out is , if you are a essential worker going to or from work. you are allowed to go shopping but that is limited to no more than 3 of a item per customer . you can go out for exercise  such as running or walking as long as you are distanced from other people, its pretty much one step short of martial law.

shops will be opening  a hour early just for essential workers and the vulnerable, or a hour later than usual. but if you don't have good reason to be out, your gonna be in trouble.

this is so crazy, not the rules or the situation but I mean it just seems like something out of a movie, I never thought it would be like this. luckily  I am in good health and exercise daily to keep fit, but I know many are not as fortunate  and for those people , please keep safe and indoors and if you have some one who can help you then please get the help.

I do hope that this will quicken the death of the virus  and that we can learn from it and so it will never happen again.  its amazing how something that is microscopic can bring the world to its knees.

It's been so long

Well, it has really been a long time since I have put finger to keyboard on blogger, but here I am.
First to let you know, me and my Beautiful Jenn are still going strong , I and she have travelled to so many places and Jenn has been to England and she loves it . We visited Buxton and York, Skegness, Blackpool  and lots of other great places and loved them all.  In the USA we discovered Dollywood, it was truly Amazing there, and Dolly Parton her self actually still shows up there every once in a while, we missed her by two weeks . the cinnamon bread there was very yummy and well worth the wait , almost 2 hours , My tip for anybody going there is, line up for the bread first.

So we were all set to be together for two weeks on the 24th of March, but it seems this nasty little monster Covid 19 has taken over. its a truly horrible thing and the sooner we get it defeated the better for the world. I really feel sorry for those people who like me and Jenn are kept apart from each other by it, which at the moment is almost everybody. I really hope that every body out there is keeping safe and doesn't get it. Please be safe, and look after each other because if this teaches us one thing is that, each other is really all we have.

To me it was so strange, I'm a big zombie movie fan, and besides the walking dead and people getting eaten its very similar to something like that, you hear rumour of a distant illness, next thing you know its on the news then its in your country then on your doorstep.  I felt so awful when they suspended the flights and now they say that everywhere is on lockdown. streets once full of people are now quiet   and roads with no cars on them, well not quarter as many. Its so quiet here I can hear the birds singing.

But there is a glimmer of hope amongst the chaos, Wohan where it all started have had no new cases for 4 days now . could it be coming to a end???  the media have been covering it on every channel , but only telling the amount who have been infected,  they are not so quick to say how many have recovered, and while no death from such a thing is good and could be prevented, I really feel they should show number of infected, but then right beside it show number recovered, I bet it would relieve so much anxiety and show that it does have a end but that's just my opinion.

Well I hope who ever reads this is safe and well. please look after your selves and each other.

All the Best from
Wayne and Jennifer :)
