Getting used to the new reality

So, after nearly a week of the so called Lockdown Measures the UK is more of less complying but it will be 2-3 weeks before we know the extent of the effect this is having. I am fairly impressed at the moment of the response of the British in general. Supermarkets are limiting people in stores and people in queues outside are keeping to 2m apart. The staff are providing sprays to wipe down trolleys and baskets and in some larger stores there is a routing system to follow once you are indoors.
All of this is SO STRANGE. It’s like waking up in the middle of a nightmare and realising it’s life now and not fiction. All of my colleagues work from home now, I used to work form home 3 days a week, that was too long but the whole time working from home is just bizarre.
I can’t even think about the end of this because there is so much we must all do before we get to the end of it. Only by keeping on acting responsibly like we have been will we beat this horrid disease.
I am VERY GLAD not to be living in America now. Boris Johnson, the UK Prime Minister has tested positive for the virus and I wish him a speedy recovery. President Trump just this weekend has not signed off quarantine of New York. When challenged about America having now the largest number of infections even after China, he said it was testament to the rapid and large scale testing efforts being extended. Well, its not just about the testing. The reason for not quarantining New York, where the virus seems to be out of control? Economics. I don’t think families of victims who die will appreciate that view at all. It shows a blatant disregard for human life. Did he close stores except for essential supplies? Nope. He allowed gun stores to remain open. This is stupid. People buying guns is not going to help the situation. That’s just common sense I’m afraid, something that President Trump does not have a monopoly on, although he would say he does if you asked him. A reporter asked him a question about scared Americans and instead of answering the question or providing reassurance what did Trump do? He took offence at the reporter asking the question and said to the world that the man was a terrible reporter. This is the way Trump behaves. Like a sore loser. Like a spoiled brat. He definitely is NOT the adult in a situation. So for these reasons I’m glad I don’t live in America. Wonderful country although it is, it’s not for me under the helm of such a tyrant.
