Q. 1 STAGES
It became quite clear, even in the early announcements, that the Corona virus was a major worldwide epidemic. It is an evolving, dynamic Pandemic and it is vital that WHO is universally followed. The government here acknowledged this situation and has been steady and resolute in its efforts. -
Q. 2 EVERYDAY ROUTINE
I am retired, widowed and live alone. It was my practice before the epidemic to go for bar lunch followed by daily shopping in Dunnes Bishopscourt. I'd often encounter friends and neighbours and have a good chat.
I'm over 80 and now in strict lock-down. It’s been a bit of a shock to have to prepare full meals; my cooking attempts are improving!
I'm blessed by superb neighbours who get all my shopping, prescriptions etc. I'm also very lucky to have sufficient space, in the garden, to get some exercise and thus avoid serious cabin-fever. -
