As I said in my previous post, I kept a “coronavirus diary” during the early months of the pandemic. I’ve always kept a diary but I wrote this alongside my normal everyday one. Partly for posterity and partly because it felt important.
I also said that we need to remember. And what I have just read in my five-year-old diary has shocked me.
You can see how gradually life became less and less normal. And then suddenly, very not-normal at all.
