Saturday. Interesting how little difference it makes what day of the week it is. But that’s not unique to lockdown; it’s true of retirement in general. Noted some time ago that it is unwise to say “oh, is this a long weekend” to someone in regular employment.
One death now in TRNC - a German tourist. Apparently had high blood pressure and COPD. “They say”. Rumours here spread as in a village, with some hesitation over translation. It seems, unsurprisingly, that COPD runs under slightly different initials in Turkish. And it would seem we all know the medical background of the German patient but there is some uncertainty about his age. Of the 31 German tourists who were affected 29 have been flown home and one remains in hospital.
The police have been busy. We have only once seen a patrol car in our quiet, law-abiding little backwater but the report is that eighteen people were arrested yesterday, one charged with violating quarantine regulations and the rest with being outside unnecessarily (and the criteria for necessary outdoor activity are pretty stringent).
Our lives are pretty simple. Good food to cook, plenty of reading material and the internet.
