The corona virus is still pretty much present in our present-day life. It's especially bad in some parts of Europe and in the USA. Thousands of deaths each day.
Here in Belgium we've advanced from the worst pupil in the class to one of the better. The number of hospitalisations is still decreasing and the number of deaths decreases as well. Perhaps because our government took measures in October already and allowed only one contact outside your family bubble. Restaurants, pubs, non-essential stores have been closed since then. Contact occupations (such as hairdressers, nail artists, sauna's, etc.) are forbidden, until further notice.
Also, vaccinations have now started in earnest. By the end of this month, all the inhabitants of homes for the elderly + their attendants will be vaccinated. In February doctors, nurses and all who work in care get their shot. In March they begin with people over 65 who are still living on their own and also those over 45 who suffer certain illnesses. In April they take those people who work in an essential occupation (firemen, police, teachers, ...) As of May they begin with the rest of the population (11 million Belgians) and hope to be ready by the end of summer.
I'll get my vaccination in the course of March. I'm looking forward to it, because it will allow me to travel once more. My sister should get hers in April.
We have been given perspective once more. It will be safe to travel after summer, and hopefully we can get back to normal life as it was before corona governed the world!
