There are new words in the English language. Could we translate them in the Cornish language? Old men and old women are requested to self isolate to avoid covid-19 infection. Should we be completely cut off from the world? Must I live like a hermit or anchorite like St Piran? How long ought I to be in isolation, in quarantine? Perhaps four months. It is essential to wash hands with thoroughness and do not touch your face.
