Virus entry 7
Boris Johnson has tested positive. Health secretary Matt Hancock too.
Obvs Johnson was stood next to the chief medical officer and chief scientist very recently. Arab is designated survivor. What a bunch of idiots!! How can this have happened?
Eve.
Just listened to sailing by in Radio 4. It never fails to raise ones spirits a bit. There is a strong feeling of a huge storm coming. The news from South Africa just now was highlighting large lack of concern for social distancing and the other emergency measures. There is massive change required there right now. Knowing the country as I do I’m very concerned as to how this Pandemic is going to play out. Some of my closest friends are there. America continues to worsen. I’m wondering a lot about the places we are not getting news from. The poor refugees and others in camps must be hellish. Syria and other Middle Eastern places are unknown to me at the moment. The numbers are growing so fast that my head can’t keep up.
I’ve spent today (massively keeping the minimum social distancing)
collecting wood
Organising the garden including the compost
Preparing (and making mistakes and learning etc) for the first online music centre tomorrow morning.
Thinking deeply. Loving my family and my friends.
Other stuff like thinking about my job, talking to people, cooking a Mah Poh for tea
It’s bonkers.
This pandemic passes all superlatives. I predict even that statement will become irrelevant. The world has changed. The future is completely opaque.
