Back in March/April/May first lockdown era, about a thousand years ago, I didn't know anyone with COVID, or know anyone who knew anyone with COVID, at least not that I can recall.

This time round, though, it keeps creeping nearer. Three weeks ago I knew of a couple of colleagues-of-acquaintances; last week one of my chorus members announced that her daughter had it; this evening, someone at the Zoom rehearsal admitted to feeling grotty all day and being unable to smell anything…

I'm not in physical proximity to any of these people, but knowing people who know people who have it, and then knowing people who have it…. It's getting closer. *shudders*

I read somewhere today that around forty percent of Americans aren't planning to do Thanksgiving any differently this year. I'm appalled -- but not surprised.

That is horrifying but, no, not surprising.
