Wednesday 23rd 36F, another grey, but dry day is promised. 8.15 8.30am and still too dark for a safe walk along the edge of the road.
It was gone 9.00 before I staggered off into weak sunshine. I have been overdoing the weight lifting. My back and hips are complaining.
I saw two birds of prey. Too distant to produce decent photos despite taking my long lens with me. You'll just have to make do with a less distant Rook.
I was impressed by a neatly loaded, timber lorry which passed. [Image below] Presumably quality timber to be processed into furniture or veneer.
It seems that cowardly nutters on the Internet are publicly threatening Danish health workers who mention the vaccine. These cowards are threatening to expose private details about doctors and nurses online. So now a Danish doctor has sent an open letter to the Danish prime minister highlighting the problems health workers are facing. Some are even considering leaving the profession out of fear of physical attacks.
This story has led to one person being arrested today. If or when they are tried, they could be fined or face a sentence up to two years. Perhaps two years on a Covid ward is more appropriate? However unlikely.
Yet another "entitled" official hypocrite has offered to resign after giving the public "expert advice" about social distancing and remaining at home during "the holidays." Then travelling to hold large, multi-generational, family parties in one of their residences. They get paid how much for giving this "expert" public advice?
The Danish government is sending out private notices using the excellent online service. To warn the public to be ready to receive an offer of a vaccine. Mostly in reverse age/vulnerability order. Being vaccinated is not compulsory in Denmark. How does one cope if a family member refuses to be vaccinated? Won't they remain vulnerable to infection when other family members return home from "a more normal life?"
New mutations are cropping up. As Britain tightens restrictions on public movement, two new cases imported from South Africa, have been quarantined.
It is beginning to look like becoming a race between new and more infectious [or more dangerous] mutations and mass vaccination. There is a physical limit on how many vaccines can actually be produced. With months being mentioned in some news stories. Before enough doses can be manufactured for the masses.
Meanwhile the news stories continue to accumulate about The Walking Ignorant. Businesses holding large Christmas parties. Idiots exercising in large numbers outside fitness centres. All are facing large fines.
