In recent days we've seen an increase in the number of community-based infections related to Covid-19 within these shores. The numbers are by no means terrible, but they've rightly rung alarm bells. The authorities here understand the concept of exponential growth and they have a firm grip on science and common sense - and they are decisive when it's necessary to be so. It's been made very clear indeed that another lockdown is on the cards if the numbers don't improve.
I'm feeling the results already. The gym is now out of bounds, which is both mildly annoying and happily reassuring. It's good to be in a place, no matter how far it is, in which an admirable commonality of purpose serves to bind the community. We've been lucky here so far, and there's a decent chance that we'll continue to be so.
