Did you hear that Texas had a spike in cases so they’ve said bars can not serve alcohol? Fortunately, Virginia is doing a lot better due to having meaningful restrictions.

Yes, I had heard it was pretty bad there. I don’t watch or listen to all of the updates as it gets depressing, from lack of leadership at many levels to the stupidity and selfishness of too many people đŚ I’m glad it’s better in Virginia.

Great reflections and they show the emptyness.

So sad. As far as I know, coffee shops are open here, but social distancing is asked for and masks when possible (for takeout). Arizona is having a huge spike right now, probably due to many not initially wearing masks.

We’ll probably have a big spike soon – masks are not required (except on public transport) and many people are simply not respecting any of the rules.

But it will soon be all systems go? đŚ

Probably.
My local Caffe Nero has been operating for a few weeks, very carefully and takeaway only. But nothing much open in central London, at least before the official shop opening day. I think they only opened where they felt there was sufficient demand from local residents. And I think we must consume a lot of caffeine in St Albans. Mind you, I must note, that the takeaway pub opened before Caffe Nero!

Goodness knows what is going to happen here . Half the country being ultra cautious, about a quarter cautious and the rest well . . . . .

Sums it up pretty well! I’m crossing everything because there’ve been a few incidents here. Lisbon is back on a caution. The ladies from there who have the house next door arrived yesterday, looking very frazzled. Cabanas is their favourite beach but there’s been an outbreak there too. ‘Calme!’ đ

I wonder if it is Portugal’s links with Brazil. You’ve all been so careful. Do hope they get control of it again so you can stay out of lockdown xx
