Mrs Steve and I are peed off because all the advice for people without test kits (which is most people) is that you can go out and about if you feel better, no temperature, etc., after five days. So we still have some test kits, we've been testing ourselves, we feel well but are still testing positive...so we are stuck at home. Not legally, but because we think we should.

A lady who does deliveries for one of the courier companies came round today. We know her well, she's a lovely lady who loves being part of the community and we usually have a really good old banter. Today we had to tell her to keep her distance. She told us that she's scared of catching it because she can't afford to take time off work, that she has her kids to feed, she can hardly afford to pay her bills and that there's no way she could afford to buy test kits. The other week she felt unwell, but just shut it out and carried on working. And who's to blame her? There must be millions like her. Ending the free supply of test kits was a big mistake.
