  • That’s great that there’s only been five cases so far in your area. Knock on wood. I think you get all the main points of the challenges related to visual impairment and coved. For me, the social distancing has definitely been the most difficult. Not being able to judge how close people are, I thought I was paranoid about personal space before, that’s nothing compared to now LOL.
  • Hopefully you are safe where you are. Victoria sounds like it’s having some problems at the moment with the coronavirus. People have been pretty good where I live. When I’m out with York let him to give us a little bit more room. And people in the shops have been considerate. Most of the big stores have extra staff on the door. Who are helpful. Another great video. Cheers!
