It's Creeping Closer

 I'm talking about the Covid 19.   In the past week I've heard of a cluster just down the road from here, at a nursery.  Then the supermarket where Christopher is working had one incident.  And today somebody ay Hannah's school has it!  And guess what none of these places have closed!  The government is trying area by area lockdown, so the next prefecture is in lockdown but nothing has changed.  The main thing is that bars and restaurants have to close by 8pm, other than that it is life as normal!  Everyday the numbers are going up and hospitals are struggling to cope but wanting the Olympics to take place seems to be more important.  Another thing that is totally weird here is the peoples attitude toward health care workers and those who have the covid 19.  Nurses are  quitting because they are being bullied by neighbors.  I read about one family that broke my heart.  This family had lived in the same house for over 30 years and were well known and liked in the community. Their daughter caught the virus while she was away at university, she didn't come home while she was sick.  But the neighbors ostracized the family, even throwing bricks through the windows.  In the end the family had to move!


I will be glad when we can get vaccines.  I know they aren't 100% and wearing masks, social distancing and washing hands will still be needed but somehow it will give me peace of mind!

Just to finish some cute photos of the cats.

This is when it was very cold!
