I’m a tiny bit scared for me, I’m hugely scared for my husband and I’m enormously scared for my Mom in her nursing home that’s on lockdown. I’m scared for the pensioners who I deal with at work but I’m not scared for the future!

We will cope, I trust the medics and I have confidence in WHO. And when all this is over I will never again take for granted a kiss, a hug, a touch of the hand. Social distancing seems so wrong, but it’s only temporary. I look forward to the future when we can kiss, laugh and touch without fear.
