The UK went into official lockdown on 23 March, but the signs of the oncoming pandemic were already visible by then. The week before, I tried to buy pasta only to find it sold out across three supermarkets. My friends and family were sent home from their jobs long before the government said to do anything…One day we will be able to meet in large groups, eat at restaurants, and shop for groceries at a leisurely pace. I cannot say when. For now, I can only hope that we can hold out a little longer.
