Corona

My stomach bug seems to have mostly gone now. I tried running yesterday and it was dreadful. I managed 4k before I went home and collapsed in a sweaty mess, reminding myself that I have been ill and maybe I should have just had a quiet morning in. But I tried again today at lunch and it was good.

Thing is though… after having contracted a cold and a stomach bug already this year (and it’s only March)…

I’m kind of worried about the coronavirus. With exponential growth, things look underwhelming, until they’re not. I’m worried about getting it myself (probably from the train), but I’m more worried about passing it on to my 65 year old parents. If there are 39 confirmed cases in the UK there are probably hundreds of actual cases already, walking around and infecting others. The problem here isn’t so much the virus itself but the risk of the health service becoming overwhelmed. I find it scary, anyway.
