We're finally looking ahead to better times. The number of infections with Omikron is decreasing day by day, and also the intake of casulties in the hospital slows down. At the end of the week, there's a meeting of the crisis committee (consisting of experts, members of the government, etc.) and hopefully they'll decide we'll switch from code red to code orange (the step before yellow, which means all's back to normal). Code orange will allow more freedom - no closing hour for the cafés and restaurants, allowance for the nightclubs to open, more public at shows, football matches etc., ...
Certain countries in Europe already have opened completely. Great-Britain and Denmark were the first to announce total freedom. In Denmark you don't even have to wear a facemask anymore. That's really the thing that bothers me most! Here you still have to wear one when you enter a shop, even though you're the only customer! And for almost two years now, it's forbidden to have a companion when you go to the hospital. Before that, my sister could keep my company when I had to go for my scan (which takes almost a day, because you have to wait for the results). All the patients in the day clinic brought along someone to talk to.
So it looks like we're going to have a spring and summer which will almost be like they used to.
