It took one infected worker in a care home to infect a whole pile of elderly in one of our local care homes. Today 3 of them died. A couple of them died last week. I just heard that a teacher in one of our local schools tested positive for the virus. This teacher may have caught it from a student who had mild or no symptoms.
I know the vast majority of the cases are mild. That seems to be not the case with the elderly however.
What is a serious overreaction around here is hoarding. Buyers are clearing the shelves of toilet paper, frozen veggies, etc. But get this ultimate irony: as paranoid as people are, grabbing whatever frozen vegetables they can get their hands on during this apocalypse, they draw the line at Brussels Sprouts. Lots of those left!
