Feest Isolation Days – 3 February 2021
Poor Boris! He really does find taking the difficult decisions tough. Yes Boris, that’s what being a Leader is! Apparently, the Scientists of Sage warned him weeks ago that he needed to shut the borders and have everyone entering the country quarantine to stop the flow of variants getting into the UK population. He didn’t follow their advice. The new South African variant is here. There is now a plan to go house to house to test people in particular post codes where the variant has been identified. There are more than a hundred cases. Matt Hancock, and even Priti Patel, wanted to shut the borders. Boris overruled them. Yes, it’s a tough call. Yes, it’s the right thing to do. Perth in Australia had one case. One. And they went into a five day total lockdown. Come on Boris. Follow the science! These guys know what they are talking about. In the end you always seem to listen to them. Please try listening sooner! You say you follow the science, don’t delay!
A tiny bit of blue in the skies does make lockdown less onerous. We are promised rain and more rain for the next few days but before it arrives we’ve been treated to what has become an unusual burst of sunshine. Wonderful.
The other bursting with wonderfulness at the moment in this house are the gorgeous flowers that arrived with Reg the Veg on Friday. They are a joy to behold and bring sunshine into our house even when it’s hiding outside. Tulips! Before we know it they will be in our very own garden!
Captain Sir Tom who raised over 33 million pounds for the NHS was admitted to hospital with Covid. At one hundred years of age, it seemed it would be a difficult recovery, especially as he had been intermittently ill with pneumonia for some long time before he caught Covid. He gave so many people all over the world a smile when he walked around his garden using his walker one hundred times. Thanks Tom. He got the best of care, like everyone else who is currently in an NHS hospital, but sadly he has died
The care staff continue to work tirelessly. In Bristol, medical students are pitching in and helping in the crisis. They are dealing with death much sooner than they normally would. They have risen to the challenges of Covid and I have no doubt will become fantastic doctors. Read about what they get up to in a short Guardian article.
Some days are definitely better than others but each day that we’re here is a gift. Enjoy and see if you can find that tiny bit of sunshine in your day. Even if it sometimes feels like its hiding, I promise – it’s there!
