After all the madness over the last few days with work and trying to get shopping done it got even crazier today when I got home from shopping.
Nan passed away about three weeks ago. Her funeral is next week on Wednesday but been told I won't be able to go as it's only immiediete family which I've been told is limited to 5 people. Absolutely shit situation but trying to take myself out of the situation from a personal point of view, I find it a bit strange that they're limiting some funerals, is this a government decision? If so it all seems a bit strange considering we are still sending people into work surrounded by others, people are going shopping in absolute hoards etc. I'd have thought with something as sensitive as funerals they would have put out advice for elderly or people to possibly limit but to give them a choice.
With that, the way the shops were today and the huge conference from Boris and co it's all been a bit overwhelming. The missus actually had a few years after the press conference finished. It's crazy to think that two weeks ago it was all a bit "ah the standard cold is worst than this virus" and now a week or two later we're in something that's almost like a movie. It's all a bit surreal and has started to hit me a bit more the last few days.
Like I said to the missus too, we are going to.sleep reading about the virus and watching stuff about it. Waking up to it. Going all day on and off looking and reading about it. Facebook, news, TV, social media, friends, family...you can't escape it. I've told the missus to lay off Facebook and stuff but equally it's bloody hard to not have a look every half hour as to what's happening.
