I?ve increasingly noticed over the last few days that people ?of a certain age? are absolutely living in fear of Covid-19. On Monday in the Co-Op garage someone sneezed and several Boomers legged it out the shop; at Asda at the weekend I saw older people make panicked u-turns in aisles once they?d clocked a few people coming in at the other end the aisle; yesterday when taking the kids out for their mandated exercise, grey hairs were crossing the road to avoid us as we strolled around our 4 mile route (while walking through the woods by the river, one old dear nearly fell into a bush as she tried to get as far away from us as possible on the narrow path).
I?m not having a pop at these people, just commenting that their behaviour is so radically different from usual Boomer mannerisms that it really stands out.
