Hopefully... It's been like winter for the past months, so cold I haven't experienced it in my lifespan. And then there's that talk about the warming up of the earth...
But it looks like today will be (hopefully) the last days of this ice period. The temperature today won't go any higher than 12°Celsius, but as tomorrow we'll finally get temperatures around 20°. We are still wearing winter cl othes right now, and our warm jackets to go out. I'm longing to wear skirts and t-shirts as you normally do in May. And only a cardigan or hoodie when it gets a bit cooler.
As the terraces of the cafés and restaurants will be allowed to open as of tomorrow morning 10 am, I expect that they'll draw a lot of attention! The breweries have been very busy this past week, preparing everything for the big day. And we're glad that the number of infections is steadily going down as well, just as the hospitalisations and people in intensive care. By the end of this week, minister Beke expects that 40% of the Flemish will have had at least one shot of vacination. And by the weekend after 50%. His goal is that by July 11th (the national holidays for the Flemish region) all the adults will be vacinated and that Flanders will get that degree of immunity of over 70% as is proposed. I think the degree will be even higher as most people want to get their injection. I've never met someone who claimed he/she didn't want a vaccin. In Brussels and Wallony this situation is different, as there are more antivaxers living there. And of course groups of people who are difficult to reach, who live in tight communities.
