Led a brief service this morning (only the second time in nearly two years): I was beginning to forget how much of a push it is. In my new relatively relaxed life it represents a bit of a peak.
Meanwhile the virus has spawned a new form which transmits more easily and it’s set to become very difficult for hospitals. I had a quick glimpse of a graph on the BBC yesterday or the day before, and even back in September it looked as if the virus was growing more, proportionally, in the South and East than it was in the North and West. What the government is asking for now is that people sacrifice their happiness so that other people may live, which is of course right, but hard. However it seems to me our leaders understand the idea of sacrifice chiefly in terms of throwing other people under buses.
God protect all people, all nations in these difficult times.
