This afternoon, representatives of the various governments in our country come together to decide what to do about the rising number of infections by Covid-19. A lockdown is almost sure to come.
The ICU's of the various hospitals in Belgium are full already with patients suffering from corona. Soon they'll have to decide who lives and who dies.
The measures taken by the previous government have failed, were not strong enough. To be honest, I must also state that about half of the population didn't (and doesn't) follow the rules - especially those about not having close contact with many people.
We'll know what to expect in the late afternoon. But we're almost sure it'll be a quiet Christmas. Restaurants and cafés have already closed and we expect they'll close most of the shops too. Imo they should better close the schools as well, as I think they are the source of the virus spreading around. If you see how most of these kids behave - running around in groups, hugging and kissing each other - it's no surprise they take the germs of the virus to their environment. They often don't fall ill, but their parent or grandparents do.
I just hope we'll have a vaccin in the course of the new year. Hopefully by next summer our life will get to be somewhat normal once more...
