San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

I'm on here looking for some light relief. But there doesn't seem to be any.

My dad passed away last Friday (nothing to do with the virus) and because of the current restrictions we're unable to give him the funeral he wanted. We've been told that the number of mourners who can attend a service is limited to immediate family only. Because of the advice not to go to pubs or other similar places we can't have the wake he planned for either. I think that celebrating his life will have to wait until well into the summer if then. Its all very sad.

Ah TB I am so sorry,but as you say it is what it is and you will have the chance to celebrate his life properly.He would I am sure not wish anyone to be put at risk.

I doubt mine will-it is early May

No it is a waiting game so we may as well sit back end enjoy what we can while we can

They are going to ASK over 70s i believe,not make so far.

There is a difference between common sense and panic,and I have just been to our GP surgery for a routine blood test appointment and there is calm there.
I find no reason not to trust what we are being told by the Government via the Chief Medical Officer and shall be guided by their advice.
If they advise not to travel then I shan't travel,but I think money is way down the list of priorities and do not think making the situation political is going to be in the least productive,quite the opposite.This is a global threat.

I don’t think there is any reason to suspect things are worse than we are being told and  I am not panicking at all at the moment.

I think Italy are talking about stopping flights which means there will be a lot of empty places in the village.

My GD has had her skiing trip postponed so  that decision was made for her.
One of my neighbours had a cruise booked and being an elderly couple with OH suffering with early Alzheimer’s  she was worried.
The company have agreed for them to cancel and will honour their payment in full if they book again by the end of the year and had a letter from their doctor confirming their vulnerability.

All companies respond in their own way so we need to make our own checks.
Our holiday is booked for early May,no idea yet what the situation will be and I am not going to worry.
We are in the senior age group both with other long standing underlying conditions well documented and known by our insurers.

Thank you for the information RJN- just seen  it.
