Not So Routine

The closing of all the mosques here for five days, and cancellation of tomorrow's congregational prayers took me by surprise, though it really shouldn't have. It was bound to happen some time given the current situation re the coronavirus. The implications of living with the pandemic for quite some time are in many ways obvious, yet the notion that the ordinary routines of life are about to be considerably shaken up takes a while to assimilate.

Must say, I'm happy to live in a part of the world in which decisive action is taken when necessary, even when it considerably shakes up one's cherished routines.
