When the people were sick on the cruise ship in Japan. It became clear this was having a wider impact than other duseases

I damaged my knee just after lock down started, didn't want to go to hospital so it has taken til July to get a diagnosis. My mother was in a care home, we couldn't visit and then she died, not from covid directly, but I believe she gave up because she hadn't seen us. Her funeral was very weird, only 20 mins, only 6 of us there, and no gathering afterwards because of the rules. I have had a heart attack, which means they won't sort my knee until they have sorted my heart, but waiting lists are huge because of the backlog from lock down. So my life has changed beyond all recognition

I am stressed and anxious. I watch way more TV to fill in time. I am trying to eat healithily and walk regularly

There has been quite a lot of community support with a food bank being set up, local companies doing deliveries. I am surprised by how judgemental people are about how others don't follow 'the rules'

My work ended with lock down. As an office holder rather than an employee I am not eligible for any benefits

I have recently started working from home. It has been remarkably straightforward, apart from needing space to store the papers.

I have attended various lecture series, and a choir.

I have dogs. They have got very used to me being around, so I am concerned about returning to the office.

I did shopping for some of my neighbours. There was the clap for the NHS, and a number of people were making masks and scrubs for care workers. One of the schools cdt departments made visors.
