On the other hand if there are people laid up with/recovering from the flu maybe they'll be minded to dot watch...
If they are laid up with flu they won’t be minded to dot watch I wouldn’t think.
My wife came home from work with flu today. She’s been mostly in bed asleep with a hot water bottle and still feels cold. She managed 20 min downstairs just now when I made her another cup of tea and fresh hot water bottle. She’s just gone back to bed. In other words she’s wiped out. Which is what I’d expect when flu sets in.
Covid19 is confirmed round here (nearest 1.5 miles away, another 6 miles away in the town my wife works in), though no many cases (yet)
Whatever she has I can’t see me avoiding it, however much I’m washing my hands. We can but hope, firstly that it’s normal flu, and secondly the symptoms are mild in our case.
