Meh:
The UK virus is in Singapore.
Sweden is freaking out trying to make laws so they can force closures.
Hong Kong wants to make masks illegal.
Native Americans are first in line to get vaccines in US.
Russian Covid Scientist with Stab wound and sedatives falls out of building.
Florida data scientist coerced into changing covid data in favor of reopening.
Italy has the UK virus

I can't help it, I feel blinded if I don't look around to see.

I know what you mean, Posh.  Ordinarily I am in the camp of 'knowledge means power' and normally I prefer to know what's going on than not.  But just now I'm keeping my eyes closed.  I did have to peek yesterday as they've changed the tiers here again so I looked on the local page to see if anything was any different and then wished I hadn't looked.  I'm carrying on doing my bit (staying in!) and there's little else I can do just now.

Mince pies are very British!  Lol, I usually make my own but decided not to this year, partly because I've only shopped for essentials and didn't want to faff about in the supermarket looking for various kinds of dried fruit and candied peel.  I bought bite size ones as I'm on a diet so I'm hoping I don't scoff the whole box :)  They are yummy but for me a true 'just at Christmas' thing; even on Boxing Day I don't want one.

I feel as you do, that the situation won't just magically resolve once the vaccines start rolling out.  It's a global problem; we're really going to need all countries to work together on this one.  But - for now it's back to the Christmas songs and mince pies for a bit :)  Merry Christmas, Posh! xx

Meh:
Probably many people tune in and tune out periodically.

Hopalong:
I think you're right, Posh.

It's a dance to calibrate how much to take in and how much to consign to grander views like "the universe"...etc.

Helps me to get the longest view possible, at the moment.

hugs
Hops

Well our local numbers are the highest they've been since this started.  I don't get it.  I know they've said the new strain is more infectious but they've not said that the current precautions aren't enough to avoid infection?  So are people not taking precautions and that's why they're getting infected more frequently?  Or is it getting through the current precautions?  I wish they knew what they were doing.  Some parts of the country are locked down again; officially we're not in the part I live but I think we'll be staying in for a while yet, particularly as people have mingled over Christmas.  I guess it will take a couple of weeks to see if that creates a peak of any kind.  They have started vaccinating but it's going to be a while before that starts making much of a difference.  Has just been bizarre to sit here thinking that last Christmas we'd never even heard of Covid and this year it's everywhere.
