Corona Virus - how can we help?

[Eleanor8 Resident]

I'm in the UK and currently living under 12 week shielding (isolation) due to to pre-existing medical conditions.

Being at home alone isn't exactly anything new so really there isn't much practical difference. Well, maybe in rushing to unwrap any parcels or post, dispose of the outer wrapping and rushing to wash my hands. I thought I'd successfully booked several weeks of home grocery deliveries (my usual way of shopping) only for it to fail spectacularly yesterday when Morrison's apparently delivered my groceries but I have no idea who to. It certainly wasn't me. Cue 90 minutes holding on their phone contact line, finally speaking to one of their staff, he took my post code and put me back on hold, 15 minutes later the call disconnected. I filled in their online complaint form last night, I think I managed not to rant.

The real difference is fear. Not so much for myself but for people close to me, especially one who was very ill last year with pneumonia and heart problems that have left him with serious long term medical issues that they can't fix.

I've spent less time in SL of late, don't seem to have done very much though. A little reading and catching up on some box sets.
