Diary 41
Tuesday, April 28th
Today’s good weather clearly brought people out of their homes. There was more traffic, for example, and plenty of people seemed to be out and about as Spring worked its magic on us all. Even though we know it’s not all over yet, and may not be for some time to come, what I like is the human spirit that said, I choose to live my life rather than stay locked in. I’m not advocating doing anything dangerous. Remember the numbers: over a million cases were recorded today, with just short of 58,000 deaths. Vice “president” Pence declined to use a facemask in public, but we all know he’s a whack job. What I’m suggesting is that we all have to find a way to live with this ghastly threat, to cope with it sensibly, and not to be paralyzed by fear.
It’s a tricky balance.
