Day 1 of isolation, I was supposed to go to the dentist but new guidance means I am considered potentially infected so I am not allowed to be treated. As of next week I will probably be advised to self-isolate so will not be able to be treated in case my dentist infects me.
People are walking around coughing – they are all so certain they have just got a cold. And there is no penalty for infecting others, is there? If they cough at an old or vulnerable person they might infect them, but death takes a few weeks, so they can avoid the guilt. If I venture out again I might take a few rocks and a slingshot.

I am now regretting making fun of the magic magnets people have been using in place of vaccination. If only I had bought some I could go help the local hospital knowing I was immune. No doubt those lucky enough to have some – or the mystic crystals will be there at the front line working with the infected because social media has proved they are protected.
