A beautiful username...however, please don't get down about the conflicting news re self isolation.
You can still go out, walk your dog, see friends, family, do your shopping etc.
We're asked not to go to big meetings, cinema, events, pubs and places where there might be people in close proximity to ourselves.
If you go to family or they visit you, either ring and check with them first that they are healthy, no cough, sniffs, colds, sore throat, high temp etc and that they wash hands thoroughly right after coming into your house, at least 30 seconds with proper soap (Palmolive or coal tar is best) and you do the same when visiting them.
Shop either very early or last minute, or ring shop and ask when is least busy time as probably the busiest is right after a delivery.
Facts are (as of 2 hrs ago) you can be sensible as to going out but keep away from populated areas and people who have been told to self isolate due to feeling unwell but not yet diagnosed with Covid-19.
Just sensible home hygiene and personally. I would never eat out as you don't know how rigorous the cleaning is in these cafes. Some are good and some small or even larger places might not clean tables or even cutlery/crockery thoroughly, especially places like Harvester or that type of eaterie where you help yourself.
Do try not to panic. My 5 AC and the wider family live more than 100 miles away from me but I trust that they are looking after themselves just as I will look after myself.
We all want to live to see another day, month, year...
We're lucky to have GN where our fears can be discussed and you are not alone, on any day at any time.
Best wishes ?
