I wash my hands far too much due to my OCD induced phobia, I had tried to keep a lid on it but think this is going to make it skyrocket again. Trouble is my husband is the total opposite, he barely washes his hands and has absolutely no worry about this Coronavirus or anything else for that matter. Would be a lot easier if I felt that way.
He travels up and down the country all the time too and he’s going to Monaco on Wednesday, flying there and back via Heathrow xx it’s ridiculous really because if this would have happened a few years ago we wouldn’t have access to half the information we have now and I guess the ease of finding things online makes everything seem so much worse. Everything is more accessible these days. I read that the initial swine flu outbreak estimated a death rate of quite a high percentage- a lot higher that the highest guesses of corona and that simmered to barely anything, just have to hope they have massively overestimated x
Phoenix and Kirbear, I'll try and keep some by. But with us all being under lockdown by then, it might be difficult getting them to you.
I've been washing my hands to the point of them becoming sore. I've had to apply E45 cream to offset that. WHO were recommending regular hand washing along with cough etiquette and maintaining at least a metre between yourself and any person displaying respiratory symptoms.
The crazy thing is that I've only become preoccupied with this since nCoV. I love gardening and often get my hands covered in soil, compost etc but not yet this year.
