Having been through 9/11, SARS, MERS plus general economic mayhem over the last 25 years and 4 redundancies as a result I can only say that I never had any great problem getting back into the saddle. The longest layoff was nearly 18 months the shorter ones felt like longer due to stress. In every case, after a few trips back on the line it was if I had never been away at all. You will be back doing the crossword in no time.

That said, I'm very glad to be in my last few years with kids gone and all major bills paid rather than halfway through with massive outgoings like some of my colleagues, the flip side of that being a wrecked pension and not much time for it to recover. Oh well, it never was an equitable life.

Stay safe, don't spend all day watching the news and try to ignore those who predict apocalypse, doom and disaster, they have no more idea about the eventual outcome than my cat and I get the distinct impression that they are enjoying it.
