    True. A lot of people will learn as well that they save a lot of money if one of the bread earners stays at home and cooks (potentially even home grown food) and looks after the kids. Children might learn how to clean and cook again (taught by the parents) - we might turn into a better society after that event.

    We just need to change our accounting system. An at home dad or mum don't count for the stats.

    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

    Wonder if people will get bored at home, including institutions that they start buying everything - lol

    Thats a good way to deal with them - certainly worth a try. I did check to see if they were allowed to drink and yes they are.

    Hopefully a recognition we need to invest more in the health system and the fortitude to do so.

    I liked the first 4 in this list... the last two had me shuddering - is it that bad?

    ..If you have Nigella in isolation with you it may be a positive aspect. That reminds me, I need to buy lots more oven-ready meals from the supermarket. Love the sound of the ping on the microwave.
