As we relax the rules for lockdown, the numbers of deaths and those contracting the virus have dropped. Funnily enough, we're all getting used to this way of life.
There's no doubt that the worldwide restrictions have led to a better environment - the wildlife has began to thrive. For example, in Llandudno the wild goats have invaded the town and are eating their way through peoples gardens. I was last there in January and they seemed so shy and skittish that they wouldn't say boo to a goose. But now, they roam freely. About 100 of them.
Another thing that has happened during the pandemic started is the riots and protests.Just over a week ago, George Floyd was killed by a police officer in the US. This event has sparked a wave of US based and then world wide protests - mainly peaceful but some violent clashes with the police. Floyd was killed because of the colour of his skin. So the black Lives Matter protests have grown from that terrible event into a global cause. Thousands of people have come together to exercise the right to protest against racism, but in doing so have enabled the virus to spread. I'm sure that the numbers of coronavirus contracters will go up soon because of this.
I don't know where this will all lead.
