I knew at the start of the pandemic that it would probably touch each and every one of us. First my closest friend whom I consider a sister, got it. She was very sick but managed to self isolate and recover at home. Thankfully for her, her husband could sleep in the spare room. And she had all she needed in their bedroom. Another close friend became ill but sadly his heart could not cope with the virus and he passed away. There was a high probability that he became infected while visiting a specialist. Then ten days later I was doing my shopping when an announcement was made that the store was closing. They had to do a deep clean due to a positive case being identified amongst their staff. A day after that, a childhood friend got sick.

She works in a pharmacy and her risk of exposure was therefore quite high. I decided there and then that I was not going to risk seeing my dermatologist. The receptionist was very understanding. Even while she was reassuring me that they do not let sick people in to the rooms. But you do not have to be displaying symptoms to be ill. And I thought that seeing as I had seen him less than a year ago I could push the appointment to further on in the year. I am now going in September by which time the virus will have peaked here. And hopefully by then an antibody test will be readily available for some extra peace of mind. Have you continued with your medical appointments during the pandemic?
