Nice to see a more positive post, ICDT. I’m sure when we have stuff to do, our minds get distracted from the negative stuff (and drinking).
I haven’t read any news at all for days. I went shopping today (also England) and everyone in the mall was wearing masks. I followed suit as maybe that’s a new ruling. I really don’t know. I’m way older than your son (52), and I’m really not overly concerned about Covid. I take precautions as I wouldn’t like to infect someone more vulnerable, but the reality is I’m far more likely to be hospitalised from a car crash or a coronary whilst out running. OK, you’ll worry as a mother regardless, but if it’s causing a lot of anxiety, maybe speak to your GP?
