Quarantine Day 10
I feel extremely accomplished today - I managed to get a Deliveroo order through to the hospital. I wasn’t sure whether the hospital was accepting food deliveries, but after seeing what he got for breakfast (pic below) I decided I had to try. Worst case I’ve wasted a little bit of money, best case he gets some food - it seemed worth the risk! I can now confirm he definitely is not allowed to receive Deliveroo (see note on the bag below) but they let it through just this once, I think as they could see I had ordered it for him. Small but important victory of: a flat white, 2 hash browns, a hamburger, an orange juice and McMuffin. It put him into a bit of a food coma, think his body wasn’t quite prepared for all of that, but it was enjoyed nonetheless. Got the result from yesterday’s test, still positive but low and they will test again tomorrow. We also had a giggle at the text message which arrived today telling him that at midnight tonight his home quarantine will end, and he can cut off his bracelet and delete the tracking app….!
I’ve been well entertained by video calls with friends and family in Switzerland and New Zealand. It’s great having the spectrum of time zones to connect with, always someone a bit bored in lockdown somewhere! Also got in my 10k steps, made a super fancy breakfast (even squeezed myself a fresh orange juice) and had an edible spaghetti meal for lunch and penne for dinner with some sweet fish sauce thing.
Tomorrow I am filming myself on and off during the day for something like “a day in the life of quarantine camp”, I was asked by the daughter of my parents-in-law’s neighbour. She is in lockdown in Tel Aviv and she and her boyfriend are working on a film project during this time, where people around the world document their experience of this whole COVID-19 thing.
