Day Sixty Two - We're Getting It All Wrong

No walk today. I'm very out of sorts. 😟 So I had a 'lay in' which basically meant I didn't have breakfast until about 7.00am this morning!! I did some laundry and read for much of the day. But I did finish watching a video my friend sent me. It is mind blowing. It is so plausible and potentially explains so much not just about this pandemic but about viruses in general.  However unless people watch it and listen to it and heed what is said we aren't going to make much progress. So I found it upsetting as well as informative. I urge you to give it a watch and share on whatever platforms you use if you feel it is as worthwhile as I do.

I have strawberries today. My friends picked some up on their supermarket jaunt and have just dropped them off and we had a socially distanced exchange; them at the gate, me at the door. That's made me feel better,  a real conversation with real people !

The infection rate has gone up in the UK according to the news yesterday. Is that a result of lockdown easing? I'm confused by all the figures and statistics. I think that's the intention sometimes. But it's of concern because it suggests the virus will start spreading rapidly.

And in spite of that news there have been rallies in the UK to protest against what some people see as an 'unlawful lockdown'. So there were hundreds of people in Hyde Park, no social distancing or face masks and the police poorly underprotected with PPE, some had gloves, had to try and maintain order. Apparently similar events were staged across the UK with varying degrees of success, depending on what you see as success. It seems that there is a divide between  people who see coronavirus  as a real and potent threat to themselves and their families and those who see it as a 'fake virus' and an infringement of civil liberties. It's a buggers muddle for sure. And there's a shit storm erupting over the attempts to reopen schools. Again there's a divide; some parents want the schools to open, others don't. The Government advise socially distanced schooling. With kids? How do you implement that? And everywhere people are offering their opinions as facts. It's tiring. There are no finite answers but people want definition. I don't think it's possible.

No wonder I'm out of sorts.
