938 UK deaths in the last 24 hours.  Wow.  We apparently haven't hit the peak yet either!

Our Prime Minster Boris Johnson - is now sitting up in bed - in intensive care - so if he couldn't sit up in bed before now - he must have been in a bad condition!  Hopefully he will be okay.  President Trump is getting a really bad rap - for being insane basically!  The headlines in the US are: Chaos rocks Trump White House on virus' most tragic day - Trump was saying they could see the light at the end of the tunnel - when they lost the most people in a day so far - 2,000 people.  When you see him in news conferences - he avoids questions and attacks the journalists.  It seems really bizarre to me - seeing a President acting so unprofessionally.  I don't ever remember seeing anything like it before with other presidents...but what do I know??  There are video clips about of him saying things and he is later saying the exact opposite. 

They have started moving patients into the Excel Centre in London now. There are news articles about morgues being set up to cope with all the dead people.  In Spain - they are having drive-thru funerals!  What the hell!  I can't even imagine that!!  Since I started writing this - about 15 minutes ago - there have been another 891 deaths in the world due to the virus.  It is insane and very scary. 

On a good note - my dad seems slightly better - there was talk of him being put into intensive care - being sedated and put on a ventilator - but they didn't want to do that as he is so well in himself - and today when I spoke to him he seemed to think that he had seen a slight improvement in his breathing and he did sound much better today - so hopefully he will continue to improve and get out of that hospital and back home!  It will be a week tonight since he was taken into the hospital. 

I have felt much better today - yesterday I was incredibly tired, and I was worried that I was coming down with something.  Today - I feel fine, other than feeling like I can't breath properly - apparently Helen is feeling the same.  This is just stress - I'm pretty sure about that!  Actually my breathing has been fine all day - until I started writing this blog and thinking about the virus and the deaths.  I am actually worried about my own life, and the lives of the people I love - nobody can be sure that they will survive if they get it - there are loads of reports of younger people with no underlying conditions that are dying.  So it wouldn't be normal not to be stressed at the moment!

So - right now I have nothing else to talk about - I have sat doing nothing all day - other than some vacuuming this morning.  I have chatted to Lissa and read her blog - I've spoken to my dad twice.
