A grim milestone

The COVID Diaries – 15    2nd April

Today we reached a very grim milestone with confirmed global coronavirus cases passing a million. The nuber has doubled in less than a week.

In the UK, controversy still rages over why so few people are being tested for the virus and the inability of government to ensure adequate supplies of personal protection equipment for people working in the NHS and care homes.

Most of us feel powerless, but at least we could all join in the national clap for carers at 8pm this evening. This is set to be a regular feature of Thursday evenings.
