Wearing my mask I wonder if this is a bit like wearing a niqab, for those willing it can be a positive as eyes meet eyes and smile, but other people move away as if I am unclean.
I begin to wonder if I am living in some end time. A nice end time, but an end time all the same. And I wonder if this is how it is in regimes that ghastly one just has to enjoy what one can when one can. Despite the ghastliness.
Here in the UK, the Government is not as hideous, and at this time we are all being urged to work together, but then people throw their masks on the floor, or fail to social distance when working as volunteers to support others, so here we are very muddled about risk and for every expert saying one thing, e.g. wear a mask, another says don't.
Meanwhile the news about the virus gets more and more serious. There is the suggestion that actually getting the virus mildly may mean you are not immune should it come back, and that therefore the tests bought in to test for antibodies and which are supposed to enable us to get back to work are useless.
And still no one has taken up the cry to push for Vitamin C treatments. I have no idea if they would work but if they are not being trialled in UK does that mean there is an agenda. They are being trialled in the states and China though. In China they do insist on the use of masks so I have decided to start making them for family. I have now been a volunteer for 17 hours but not one request for help has come in, yet we are constantly told that people are at home and anxious.
Meanwhile an almost 100 old man called Captain Tom has both raised our spirits and a lot of money for the NHS (21 million so far) and inspired a whole range of 90 years to celebrate their longevity by doing fundraising activities. So perhaps it is not the end time after all.
