    Good response around us, wife in tears with shouts from my neighbour. She’s back in tomorrow for a few days and not looking forward to it at all.

    I heard there's a dire shortage of haemorrhoid technical advisers but you have to supply your own finger puppet

    Hopefully this will wake all parties on how important health is before wealth but give it a few months after the all clear and it’ll be business as usual for those that have and sorrow and rightly so recriminations against those that deserve it.Lessons learnt we'll see

    Well, the wife has just come home exhausted and mentally drained. To put this into context, Southampton ITU is now full with Covid-19 patients all on respirators, ignore the age thing and underlying health conditions, they have fit and healthy people in and they are all ages.

    The paediatric ITU is being commandeered today with that then being an extension to the unit. More wards are being converted ready for the influx. They have all been briefed that possibly next week, they will be looking after three ventilated patients each, and this is a unit where the staff to patient is one to one.

    This is a global killer, be safe everyone.

    Today whilst waiting to pick up my wife and my prescription , they got closer and in fact shared a phone at one time, the guy on the left was actually collecting prescriptions for 3 others . I kept my distance
