I think it is sinking in. I had to go down to the DIY store this morning, my self isolation involves getting on with my bathroom refit. The car park was fairly busy, seems lots of people are getting on with home jobs too, but inside safe distancing was being observed even in the till queues. Otherwise it was very quiet on the roads and the town was virtually empty.
I would usually be off to the Highlands around this time of year and, checking, it seems the hotels I use are still open. However, I think it would be irresponsible to go now. I'm old enough to be in the at risk category and potentially putting myself in a position where I might need the services of a stretched NHS or, heaven forbid, the rescue services is something I'm not prepared to do. So, I will stay at home, isolated and take care not to become a statistic.
