There is a new virus around, Coronavirus. Everyone is getting extremely worried about it, however somehow I don’t feel particularly worried, though it has impacted my daily life immensely. The government are encouraging people not to go out unless necessary, so we are not going out as much. Some of my classes have been cancelled, which makes me quite annoyed.
Yesterday, we walked to Waitrose and it was pretty much EMPTY! All the toilet paper was finished, everyone had been buying it. People are stocking up on food because they are afraid we might have a lockdown, I think its incredibly selfish that people seem to be stocking up on food, and they don’t care if there are other people who might actually need the food. We have an elderly neighbour, Stan, and we checked on him a few days ago in case he needed anything.
I’ve also started walking regularly, so we’ve been going to the park every day. I find it quite nice just to think things over in the park, so I really enjoy my walks. Baba has also been staying home as well, which is nice, though mostly he just stays in the study, working hard.
We haven’t been stocking up really, we just bought a little bit of rice, and pasta and some hand sanitizer, and all this stuff we ordered online. The only thing I’m slightly worried about is my animal’s vegetables, if we have a lockdown then how will we get veg for them? From tomorrow, Tesco’s is going to put a limit that you can only but 3 of the same thing each.
News about the Coronavirus is coming out every day and it is always bad, deaths are increasing by the day and my parents, (and probably every other adult I know) is worried about it. I don’t know why, but I feel like I’m protected by this virus, I feel like it won’t come near me, which is ridiculous I know, seeing as it’s already in London
I guess I’ll write a bit more tomorrow then.
