We’re so used to being stared at. It used to upset some members of my family that people stared at us, no one likes to be judged adversely. Funnily, three weeks ago when I was going shopping wearing gloves and doing my best to keep my distance people were staring at me. Maybe they will now understand that I was trying to protect them and myself too. Sometimes it takes a while for the penny to drop.

This crisis brings out the best, and the worst in people. Sometimes in equal measure. My heart goes out to the parents.
