There have been many comments in the media and authorities commenting on the 'worst crisis since the War'. In terms of getting killed/dying, I have no doubt, and to live for months on end listening for the sounds of bombers heading your way must have been awful.
But in 1939 the one thing people had was 'community'. They still went to work to meet colleagues, they still packed out the pubs at night, they could meet new people, hug one another, go to the cinema,go to dances, even hunker down together at night in air raid shelters/ undergound stations.
We are being asked - possibly for the next 9 months - to keep everyone at a distance. No socializing, no meeting a new girlfriend/boyfriend, no having a drink together - keeping a distance between all but the nearest and dearest.
That's going to be hard for a week, even harder for a couple of weeks, and a month, and another, and another ?
Nobody in the UK has died from Corvid 19. 6 people have died 'with it', but had other underlying critical conditions.
Flu' kills tens of thousands some yrs in the uk - other yrs 4/5000.

I have to confess, I spoke today with a cousin that II haven't spoken to in 20 years
Its difficult if you don't say or do anything your critised if you do say or do something your awful , we just have to follow some behaviour and hope not too many die ,this is not a norma, flu and I'm sure many are dying of normal flu and other similar illnesses, but this is an add on virus that cruelly attaches itself to other weak cells in the body ,my heart goes out to those who have died and their relatives, it is a cruel virus .
Self-isolate? Me?
Err...maybe I should
This is a sobering tale.
