lyrics

Noreen (interpreted by her daughter Lisa): They’ve been saying things on telly ‘if you find out you have this illness or you’ve got symptoms ring 111’... But er I don’t even know what 111 is! And what about deaf people, how’re they gonna be able to phone? There was nothing available to give you information like that.

I had a mask I took a mask with me and I went to the bank, this was last week…. and I wanted to say something so I wrote it down. And the lady had a mask on and just started talking And she wouldn’t pull her mask down to be able to, to allow me to lip read her. So I said to her, write it, write it down please. And er, oh it was so difficult to er you know to have that conversation. So my daughter had just been to the other shop and come in and it’s a good job she had because then she spoke on my behalf er and I said to my daughter, why, why wouldn’t she pull the mask down when we were talking so that I could lip read her. You know we had some social distancing, I was certainly wasn’t near her... But I felt like giving up you know. Giving up with the world. And just staying at home.

I really don’t know how other deaf people are managing I I genuinely don’t. I I I I mean for me, I I don’t know it’s just a good job I’ve got family here really.
