The COVID Diaries – 20 10th April
The sun shone and the weather was beautiful, but it has been a grim Good Friday
The churches are closed and there have been no Good Friday processions in the streets. We all continue to stay at home to stop the coronavirus spreading and to protect the NHS. Last night we clapped for the carers again at 8pm.
A grim milestone was passed today, with the worldwide total of deaths from te virus exceeding 100,000. Many more are expected in the future.
In Britain, the daily death toll is rising, with 980 announced today, taking the total to 8,958. Meanwhile the government still seems to be failing to get enough personal protective equipment into our hospitals, with staff feeling they are being led like lambs to the slaughter.
