I don't think it can be stopped now. The visiting, not the virus.
I'm Christmassing at home, alone with the dog - the friend and I who had been going to meet for Christmas Lunch having cancelled that weeks ago.
There are some people who so long to see relations, that they will take precautions and go for it.
There are some people who don't give a toss and will do what they want, regardless.
At this stage, I feel both above groups will do so anyway, whether an official change of plans is announced or not.
I continue to do my household shopping at 07:00, which makes it a delightfully solitary experience, and my hands and purchases are sanitized as soon as I get them home.
In the new year, when the Christmas Spike begins to trickle in, I hope not to do any shopping for the month. No stockpiling, I always do try and make as many meals out of the Christmas food as is nutritionally possible! ?
Then I'll wait for the Group Five vaccinations to kick in??
