At the beginning of the month Cornwall was in the lowest Tier 1, medium alert, but due to the surge of Covid cases caused by the highly infectious new strains of the virus, on New Year's Eve we were put into the high alert Tier 3. No areas of England were in Tier 2, the Isles of Scilly being the only area in Tier 1, and 75% of England was in Tier 4. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were in full lockdown.<br /><br />The only good news was that the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine was approved on December 30th and roll-out of the jabs begins in the New Year. Boris Johnson is confident that the pandemic will end by Easter.<br /><br />MEIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834780351452765156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-31204179140353525132020-12-30T09:02:53.081+00:002020-12-30T09:02:53.081+00:00Very appropriate words, Franklin, to end an awful ...Very appropriate words, Franklin, to end an awful year and usher in the new one with a message of hope.MEIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834780351452765156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908362959739425575.post-44637591676039310122020-12-29T23:32:58.182+00:002020-12-29T23:32:58.182+00:00This philosophical quote offers a universal basis ...This philosophical quote offers a universal basis for trust in a Happy New Year!<br /> <br />All that is gold does not glitter,<br />Not all those who wander are lost;<br />The old that is strong does not wither,<br />Deep roots are not reached by the frost.<br />From the ashes a fire shall be woken,<br />A light from the shadows shall spring...<br /><br />J.R.R.
