Day 27:

So much for social distancing. The kids in the condos are going nuts and have started venturing out into the common garden to play soccer.  As long as it is just "our" kids it's one thing, but a boy from elsewhere made an appearance here yesterday and has some people worried.  Obviously not the parents of the kids who have been let out, (and just can't take being locked up with their offspring any longer), but the parents of the kids who have not been let out and whose kids are out on their balconies watching this fun play and whining to be freed.  One of these parents came down this evening when about 6 kids had gathered and gave them a talking to.  It's the parents who need a talking to.  Kids think they're immortal.  You can explain about germs on soccer balls and spit flying when they're yelling all you want.  They just want to socialize and burn off energy.  My unbroken down cardboard box has taken a back seat to this new crisis on the whatsapp group.   So much excitement!  xxoo me

Day 26:

Numbers down again here.  Thank God.  Over the hump??  However they are saying that we can not expect to be out of "Stay at home" completely before June probably.  As the US is easily a few weeks behind us and the government has no consistency to control matters, I'm afraid the situation there will go on well into the summer.  Man oh man.  Be careful all you out there!
