Coping with Covid-19

Am I the only one here worried about the health of the PM? 

He may be a bit of a prat, but he's our prat.

Not more than about health of other random people.

I wish them well.

I have three offspring on the autistic spectrum, one of whom lives a few doors away but who comes each day to walk the dog - we have to get out of the kitchen when he comes so that there's no face to face contact. He is finding the current situation unbearable - being isolated from family and being kept very busy at work, with little or no understanding from either his employers or his workmates about his autism - 'You're slow at your work because you're lazy, not because of autism' or words to that effect.

The other two are also feeling frustrated about not being able to get the things they need. Finding a delivery slot for any of the supermarkets is well nigh impossible and the supermarkets are trying to persuade healthy, non-vulnerable people to come and do their shopping in the supermarket, thus freeing those delivery slots. It's also very stressful just trying to obtain one of those delivery slots. The one who lives in his own place only has Mondays free to do shopping now, so is limited in what he can do, but can bring stuff from work if we order it.

One other thing - how can you survive if you shop infrequently and buy little when you do go?
