life with coronovirus around
I personally know three people in my town who are self isolating as they believe they've caught it. Given my relatively small social circle, that's fairly high.
Oswin's friend Sam's dad has it, so she won't be able to play with him for a couple of weeks.
We haven't done any panic shopping. We don't eat much in the way of ready meals (can't remember when we last had one, if we ever have...) so just relaying on our weekly veg box delivery and our usual supply of tinned beans. Have not bought any toilet paper...
Our main response to the virus has been to update our wills. Saw the solicitor this morning - probably her last face to face appointment -and gave her all the details. She'll email us a draft and we'll work from there.
My morris team has stopped practice for the duration, but my sword dance team is a much smaller group - max of six dancers (three of whom are living in the same house) - so we've decided to carry on for now as the risk in such a small group is low - and exercise is important for maintaining health.
Next week will be a big change in our lives, as Oswin will no longer be able to go to school, so she'll be with us much of the time. That means thinking about teaching her as well as playing games and going out for walks. Luckily, she's already a fluent reader and enjoys learning about things. How many kids can be bribed to eat their tea with - "Eat that bit and I'll talk about anything you ask me" and it can be anything from owls to canals, with many interesting digressions to all kinds of things.
Lack of contact with other children is concerning me - not sure what to do there, but she's certain going to miss her friends.

We have updating our wills going on, but suspect our financial adviser is a bit preoccupied with more pressing matters at the moment.

We dodged the bullet on that one.
