I'm a carer for my grandad who is 99.
He still lives at home and that is 5 mins walk from my house.
I do everything for him (breakfast,lunch etc )get him water etc
We have no outside help.
What happens if I develop symptoms.
What happens to him?
I don't care about me I just worry what the hell I do?
There's no other family either.

Where abouts are you? Have you checked Facebook for local groups that are helping out vulnerable people with food shops etc? Sorry for your worries and I hope you and your dad stay healthy.

Ooh have a look at Nextdoor, find your local page and do post asking for help, it's an absolute godsend and people in my local area at least are being absolutely lovely helping people cope with what's going on.
