Covid-19 the Upside

The globe is in lockdown, the borders are closed the news is all gloom and despair, Covid-19 is the new kid in town causing panic and fear everywhere. Our lives are all changing, effects are wide ranging, whole nations are put to the test, and though we don't like it these methods to fight it, some things are changing for the best. In future, through habit, we know everyone will all have incredibly clean hands, and as the whole nation goes self-isolation you can avoid people that you can't stand. The shelves may be empty, our shopping restricted, the choices a narrower range, but Fresh fruit and veg are still plentiful,so maybe our diets will change. The Missus no longer complains about football and too much of it on TV, now I smile while her episode of 'Eastenders' is put back by the BBC. So stiff upper lip, folks, keep raising a smile, all in this together we'll pull, life is not risk-averse, whatever the curse just face it with your glass half full.
