I have been called up for a jab! I do not know h ow and now some friends are saying it cannot be right as am too young, but all I know is that I took a call on Monday, given the location, asked if I have symptoms or am allergic to anything. So I decided to cancel work for the weekend and go. Somehow in my muddle of panic about how do I get there is this real, the taxi turned up this morning instead of Friday.
Aparently there has been rioting in the streets of Holland, people objecting to be being curfewed. This pandemic certainly splits people with regards to how to approach this thing. Speaking to a friend in Canada recently things are in some ways a bit more relaxed - her grand-daughter can visit, but in other ways less relaxed, as the four year old has to wear a mask. Meanwhile apparently in Wuhan the course of the virus is being re-written by the authorities, who have pointed out that the virus was in Europe earlier than anticipated, so Wuhan may not be the source. Speaking with a student from Wuhan recently, he said he feared the authorities would come in and kill the residents of Wuhan to stop the spread of the disease. Luckily it did not come to that and a year later things are fine in Wuhan whereas the virus has really taken off in Europe and we have topped the 100,000 death mark.
Luckily cultural organisations are still keeping us all going and this weekend I had the fun of Drawing with Scissors as in Matisse with a live online workshop.
