I am so happy my stairlift is in. However it was so strange when the engineer turned up to the house to install it. He wore protective gear from head to foot, a mask and gloves. He knocked on our door then backed away and when my husband answered the door he repeated a little speech (Perhaps learned by all employees who visit homes) asking if anyone had the corona virus etc. He then entered and installed my lift. It took 3 hours but he retreated to his lorry when he wanted a drink or some food which he had brought with him. It is all so weird . Never in my lifetime have I experienced what we are going through at the present moment.

Lady Elizabeth,
Fear can make even the nicest of people do some of the strangest of things. Perhaps if the leeches hadn't been quite so good at figuring out how to stop and / or treat diseases, so many people wouldn't have had such a rude awakening with this virus.
Yersinia Pestis, Variola major and Variola minor, Vibrio cholerae, Poliomyelitis and the like are quite unpleasant organisms to deal with, but as people have mostly forgotten about them they have come to assume nothing new will come along.
Nature has a way of surprising us and in the sense that there are people in this world who could stand having a bit more empathy with a dash of humility, this virus isn't such a bad thing. I'm hoping it gets more people to show some consideration for others as you already do.
