SOOC

behind the tree line
peach-coloured sky tells of night
waiting to happen


We were supposed to come out of lockdown on 15 December, but it looks like it's not going to be the case. The condition to that was that we should be down to 5,000 new cases per day nationwide, and the numbers are nowhere near that. I'm not sure if the shops reopening on 28 November played a part in this, but we're still nearer 15,000. I don't know what the government/president will decide, but it doesn't seem reasonable to allow families to get together for Christmas and/or friends for NYE. At least not in big gatherings. They keep telling us to limit parties to 6 adults, but I'm sure many will go over that if they're given free rein. And then we might see a new surge, just like after Thanksgiving weekend in the USA, which would mean a new lockdown.
