Welcome to Anna’s Diary

To live normally is difficult but possible. Or better expressed – it must be possible. Personally, I live according to recommendations such as social distancing, wash my hands etc etc. To interrupt person-to-person transmission. I saw several runners yesterday when I went for a walk. I walk as fast as I can and I will start running again when the Corona virus is attenuated.

We had a vaccin last time against the Swine flu, but not this time. That vaccin was accompanied with side effects (narcolepsy), but now people are dying since there is no vaccin. This is easy to understand, and I hope people can see that there must always be a health cost-benefit analysis before a new medicin can be clinically introduced. These are tough decisions for health authorities.

To put this very moment in a perspective is problematic since we would like to have a solution before making decisions. A right or a wrong answer. Some decisions must be taken even though we are not 100% sure about the outcome. To trust the gut feeling. In ten years we will say “why did we do that, or why didn’t we go for that decision”. It is interesting to note that the devastating Polio was globally eradicated when a vaccine was introduced.

We must also trust that the various Ministries talk to each, because this is difficult. To put eg health, economics and foreign policies in relation to each other. Future research is needed. How can we prevent a new virus outbreak? Will SARS appear in a new form? Questions must be dared to be asked and I hope the WHO get the correct information.

Yesterday was no sunshine so I searched for an old photo from last spring and found this with snow drops.

Quarantine. Hand washing. Social distancing. Desinfect phone. 1-2 meter distance.

The Corona virus is still dominating. These times are difficult since social distancing is important. To stay at home as much as possible. However, I had to go for a walk this afternoon. I cannot explain, but I really don’t feel like going for exercise such as running. That has to wait. Running is forbidden in France. There will be sunshine on Monday so I will go for a walk with my camera. I will see if there are any progresses with new flowers.

Take care of yourself these days.

Life has changed for the whole world. New habits concerning health have been introduced. This is necessary because this virus challenges life. For sure, everybody will sooner or later pass away, but it is a tragedy for families who are suffering from the effects of the corona virus. Endurance is important now because it is exhausting to live with the corona everyday. Sometimes there is too much news and reports, and it can be good to stay off social media etc for a while. Just to relax.

It is soon Easter weekend. I cannot go to sweetie and cutie. Molly looks more like a Spaniel now since she has more fur with curls, I’ve heard.  A long walk with them would be wonderful, and also to find out if Molly likes running sports. But that has to wait til the virus is hampered.
