Relatively busy walking day today. Found these white shoots this morning – maybe they area a fungus…
COVID hasn’t gone away. A hundred people are dying each day. Are we being encouraged to think it’s their fault – for being weak – or not getting vaccinated? It’s not. I still think it’s right to be vaccinated. But I also think it’s right to wear a mask in confined public spaces – not for ourselves, but to protect others from our infections. And plenty of people are not doing this. Their selfishness is part of the problem. But there’s also a question behind this – an infection that kills a hundred or two each day sounds like winter flu – and we have traditionally accepted those losses: should we?
