I try not to visit new places so its easier to remember and track. As you rightly said, we are in a 'new' normal and the faster we accept and implement it the better for us.

That's something the government or anyone didn't foresee. But the moment it started unfolding the government should have quickly swung into action. They delayed. This was perhaps the only blemish in the reasonably well-crafted government response to the pandemic.Pradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-64413696880478480272020-05-31T12:02:06.762+05:302020-05-31T12:02:06.762+05:30Everyone needs to be more cautious.

I cant help but feel this should have been better planned. Arrangements for sending the migrants back to their home should have been done within the first few days of lockdown. Given the current situation I too don't see an end to the lockdown in near future.Backpack & Explorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10069903762009169434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-16276553111077346622020-05-28T12:20:53.754+05:302020-05-28T12:20:53.754+05:30Hi Darla - I am yet to visit the barbershop, thoug...Hi Darla - I am yet to visit the barbershop, though they are open and are taking maximum precautions.

Here many elders say this is the reason why in olden days when we come home from outside it was mandatory to wash our legs and hands before entering our house. Many homes had a tap outside for this purpose.Pradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289342.post-15577415179649475192020-05-26T02:25:19.729+05:302020-05-26T02:25:19.729+05:30From what I've read, it's no picnic.

I did read an interesting article yesterday which mooted the likelihood that COVID will settle down as did previous such diseases and the risk of death being little different from all other risks out there (<a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52758024" rel="nofollow"><b>BBC 'How Scared Should We Be?'</b></a><br /><br />As a health professional (retired), I have long lamented the lack of care among even my near and dear regarding hand hygiene and have long known that just going outside one's front door brings always the chance of something else coming back in with!!! This particular virus has simply brought that to smart and severe attention. The need is not new, only it has now become imperative. I really like the littel scenario you finish with!
