Todays figures don't bode well. 5 million people world wide have been infected with the virus.It's a scary amount and may account for my anxiety at the moment. It's the same anxiety that wakes me up most mornings at about 6am and it's the same anxiety that some of my friends have.I'm trying to avoid too much coronavirus on tv, but it's very difficult.
The daily briefings at 5pm by the government and assorted scientists/health experts are depressing with graphs and slides of the latest figures. At first I used to watch them religiously, but now I've learnt to let go. The 5pm briefings refer to England on the whole - the rest of the uk have a stricter lockdown. We get news of this at 12.30 each day from the First Minister, Mark Drakeford and his team.
We are fortunate to have a lower death rate here in Ceredigion. In fact, there have been many people trying to come to beauty spots here in Wales especially on the bank holidays. Most have been stopped by the police who have blockaded these areas. We are all having mixed feelings about an easing of the quarantine, when it comes. It will be great to have some more freedom and to see everyone again - don't get me wrong but we fear a spike in the infection rate and maybe a slide into full lockdown again.
We shall have to wait and see.
