I'm in NZ so it's not Covid-19 as we don't have widespread community spread yet, only ~28 cases reported in NZ as of today. But I'm a bit older, live alone, and have some mobility problems, and recently my right knee started hurting like a bastard for no clear reason. I live down a hill and it's become hard even to limp up the path and steps to reach my car. I hadn't wanted to trouble my GP or local emergency walk-in clinic but it's so much worse today I don't have any choice, so I'll do a GP trip tomorrow and likely get xrays. It's just not a great time to be barely able to walk and to need medical investigations, and of course pain relief tablets are already being rationed. But, not the virus.
