I'm fully recovered and returned to work last night. I work in assisted living (where I was exposed). I'm concerned for our residents. Mentally and physically. I saw some mental decline in several residents and others who are starting to exhibit symptoms.

It might have been me when my hands/knuckles were so dry - but Aquaphor at night did the trick!

Thank you. Some of my residents are experiencing a decline cognitively. They had minor signs of dementia but they've worsened being isolated in their rooms. I had more than one resident thank me for being there. Bless their hearts. It sucks for everyone but it's really scary for those who are dependent on others.

So glad you have recovered. Bless you for the important work you do and continue to do.

Hey, guys... I hope everyone is OK, and your loved ones as well.
Stay safe and hang on.

The numbers in Europe are terrible, the ones in US are
even worse.
I am so sorry this horror had happened, I truly hope it will pass.
I would like to write something more optimistic, more comforting, but I can´t.

Hello all, just a quick check in from me. I still have a slight lingering cough and pace myself a little otherwise I get very tired, but aside from that I'm back to normal. Less half a stone in weight, which I needed to lose.

My son seems completely back to normal. His girlfriend, who has been locked down with us here for three weeks now, sharing his room, has shown no symptoms. I'm hoping she has been asymptomatic.

My husband remains convinced he had it at the beginning of March. Many of the symptoms for the "flu" he had then def matched mine, particularly the very specific ache across the shoulders and back, fatigue, headaches. None of which he suffers from at all normally. He has returned to work in London as a key worker in transport so I very much hope he did have it already.

Anyway, hope you are all well or on the mend if you have been affected. Rest when you need it, keep up the fluids and don't neglect your mental wellbeing.

That sounds very encouraging. I'm glad to hear that your and your family are doing well. (and I love your avatar, too.)

Rest and eat now- and do not get that weight back!

Aww you guys thanks xX

I will tell him that Greg. He has found it ok generally as trains are very empty but he had one bad experience on Wednesday. He was on the tube crossing London to another depot and everybody was widely spaced out. Then two homeless men got on the tube and went up close to everyone, asking for money! I guess it's a new intimidation tactic, pay quickly so they move on. By which time of course it could be too late. Luckily Mr HKP stayed out of their way, but he was quite shaken by that.
