I live with my mother. She's getting a pension but she's a few years younger than shielding age. She doesn't smoke. She seems to have a little bit of a cough. To date I think it was more dust related. Anyways whenever she coughs, she doesn't care about containing her cough. She won't use a tissue. She won't cough into her elbow. She coughs into the open.
Just this evening her cough has increased. So far she had a little bit of a cough or it was more like clearing her throat. The coughing has increased this evening. Not a care in the world to go and contain her cough and protect me. She is also refusing to isolate into her room. She says she's fine. That's not the point. What if its the virus?
Generally she's been follkwi8the guidelines. She has reduced her movements out and about in public. We went out on Monday to the shops together and it was the first time in a few weeks. Aside from that, myself and her, we walk, quite rural walks. We don't live in a hot-spot either. The risk of picking up the virus is low.
