We are off to Cornwall in a month, I know it won't be hot but we will have a great time.

Cornwall - beautiful place - and it looks like better weather is on the way as well!!
As for how bad things can get, Bloomberg is reporting that India has 400,000 confirmed infections and 4000 deaths every day. It also goes on to say that these figures are likely to be
”drastic undercounts” due to lack of testing kits, overwhelmed hospitals, plus the fact that even in normal times about 20% of deaths in India simply go unreported.
It seems that political expediency re elections convinced Indian politicians that it was safe to organise huge political rallies
Just how stupid can you get
And now it seems that Hospitals and Dr’s in India have been charged under India'sNational Security Act for sounding the alarm within India’s Health Service over the lack of Oxygen.
They are being accused by the Police of “false scaremongering”.
With all that going on in the world - I think Cornwall has an awful lot going for it.
