I have just noted that the Sandford area has now had 2 or less cases per week since 4 March. No area in North Somerset has more than 3. Great news, the rate per 100000 is 5 (BBC). Bristol has gone up slightly to 16 and rising slightly.

WEEKS
The Beatles wrote 8 days a week, which begs the question why does a week have 7 days. A day is defined by rotation, as is a year. The months are roughly in line with the lunar orbit. 24 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds are all logical mathematically. But 7 days a week. Why is it a prime number? 7 does not fit into a month apart from 3 of 4 years for February.
ZAPPED AGAIN
ANGRY PEOPLE
There seems to be a growing anger in this country. Anti-lockdown demos; anti-police bill demos and now ManU vs Liverpool called off. Is this a result of people feeling that they are not listened to, or respected anymore? In all 3 instances the issues do not seem to be massively important, yet people are willing to risk jobs, fines, even prison.
Covid Jabs
From todays paper – in the USA fully vaccinated means 2 weeks after 2nd jab. Social distancing is still advised.
RANDOM QUESTIONS
COVID-19
Numbers creeping up in Cornwall, Devon and North Somerset, but down in Dorset and Hampshire. Can we relax yet? Have I got an anxiety syndrome? Numbers are still very low and have been lower than 3 per 10000 (approx pop of the 6 villages) for the last couple of months. I have not had the second jab yet. So the anxiety is the dichotomy between being desperate to see grandchildren again; and not wanting to throw away the last 15 months of being sensible. I think I confused T by offering her to stay here, whilst being reluctant to go down to C.
I know others who are like me – not paranoid about relaxing, but very wary, and in a way institutionalised to the isolation (this seems to be something that affects single people, rather than those with families living in the same house). 95% safety is not 100% and thus the need to be sensible remains, regardless of the government edicts/advice/etc. as they have shown themselves to be intellectually benefit and morally bankrupt. On top of incompetence and sleaze.
There still seems to be a lack of direction and enforcement at all levels. So I am confused! (Even more than usual). I am confident to meet with family, albeit with distance and windows. But there is still a but … but I do not know what the but is? I am 99% confident to go to Waitrose again, but only do so when it becomes important for me to get (actually it is to show I I can).
