The Corona Diaries – Day 273

Yipeee!!! Today’s the Solstice!! The shortest day!! After today the days start drawing out! It’ll soon be Summer. We’ll soon have the vaccine. The sun will come out and it’ll be warm again. We’ll all meet up and share our dreams and thoughts!

It’s a rebirth.

Unfortunately, unlike yesterday, it is cold, wet, drizzling and miserable. There’s not a sign of the sun!!

My daily walk is postponed until this afternoon!

Meanwhile, out in Coronaland, things are changing for the worse! I’m stuck in a bubble made up of politicians’ froth!! Have you ever thought that they are not telling you the facts???

Something is going on.

We’ve just had this stringent lockdown with dire warnings. Chris Witty looked frightened. Something is going on. All these countries are putting a blockade on our transport and people. Nothing can get out.

What is this new variant?? Is it just that it is more contagious?? Will it still be controlled by the vaccine?? Why a blockade?? They did not do a blockade before! What’s new??

We are banned throughout the world. Why this panic? Britain has suddenly become Eyam.

It suddenly feels as if we are at the epicentre of a new development. I don’t like it. The only epicentre I want to be in is one where the vaccine creates full protection.

Time will tell. They are certainly not telling us anything, are they?

I’m a bit worried about Santa! Going in all those homes he could be spreading that virus far and wide! Once all those bloody elves get it they’ll be hell. It’s OK though. It seems I haven’t been a good boy again so I won’t be getting a visit.

Don’t you think it’s strange the way we peddle all these strange stories – Santa, elves, tooth-fairies, Easter bunnies, flying reindeer, angels, cherubs, ghouls, ghosts, vampires……………………. it’s like a whole fabricated industry that we’ve bought into.

Where’s reality in all this?

I’m a nature worshipper!! Gaia is not happy!!

So we stumble on with another 35,922 new cases and 326 deaths, a vaccine being slowly rolled out, more dithering and ineptitude, failing moonshots, failing T&T, failing lockdowns, failing tiers, and a clown pointing the way.

Could be worse, I suppose, we could have Trump! The USA with another 179,801 new cases with 1422 more deaths! Some leadership!!

I thought of buying biohaz suits for the family! I like the thought of nipping down to the supermarket in a biohaz suit! It could lead to shorter queues.

Anyway, Merry Solstice everyone – stay safe!!
