Day 8 of lockdown due to COVID-19

The morning fog was a foreboding of things to come today.

I woke up and prepared for my usual routine. We managed to have our lunchtime walk, which was occasionally interrupted by light showers, but it was fine weather overall.

Later in the day, we learned that today has the biggest number of new cases yet: 89, making the total to 797. A major magazine company has also decided to close down, and Air New Zealand slashed 95% of its domestic flights.

With all these bad news coming at us left and right, we can't help but worry. And yet worrying will not really help much. We just have to comply with the guidelines set before us in order to stamp out this disease, count our blessings, and be a blessing to others too.
