Wednesday 29 April
It has been a momentous day in the UK for all the wrong reasons. The death toll from Covid-19 has hit 26,000. I remember back at the start of this that the government and SAGE said that if we suffered under 20,000 deaths then we would have done well.
The most troubling sign is that this is not going down.
In comparison, Sweden has hit 20,000 cases. Another staggering stat is that there have now been over 3 million confirmed cases worldwide. Its numbing to wonder how high this is going to go, especially as it really hasn’t hit Africa or South America fully yet.
The government have also announced that schools in the UK will open in phases, it is what we were expecting, but this is now going to take most of our energy as this will not be easy no matter how you look at it.
The streets are still quiet and the weather is still lovely. Walking with Mabel and the family is such an amazing tonic in amongst all of this depressing news.
