My mum had a neighbour, from a few doors down, knocking on her door today
They are in their early 60's, my mum in her late 70's. They just wanted to check in and make sure that as she should self isolate that should she need anything at all she must call them. She will be fine as my twin lives just over a mile away, but they did not know that. They recognised that my mum is a widow in a vulnerable category, as the PM says she needs to stay pretty much in doors for the next 3 months, they would be happy to do her grocery shopping. This is not a couple my mother would generally chat with. They would say hello and have a wee chat if they saw each other, no more than that. Today, when they saw BoJo 'suggesting' the new restrictions for old people to stay their arse at home in this crisis, their first response was to knock on my mums door. Not all hero's wear capes. And my faith in humanity is back, at least for tonight.

Her sister and BIL are about 10 years younger, and live within 5 minutes drive, so they're right there if she needs assistance at all, but I'm still quite frankly terrified for her. As a breast cancer survivor, she would most likely have a compromised immune system to begin with.
so good to hear about kind thoughtful people. 
We have so much of the opposite in our collective face every day.
There are a LOT more nice people in this world than there are idiots, but the nice ones are too busy being nice to get much attention. Thanks for giving them a mention - there truly are Angels all around us.
Thank you for that bit of sunshine Soph0571.
