In my country, 1595 deaths, 85746 infected cases out of about 126.500,000 population, so far. According to the super computer FUGAKU, a face mask stops spray 80 percent at most. 20 percent is leaked out.

More and more we are hearing that because scientists know so much more about the disease and how to treat it, the death rate is going down, at least in our area. We are still under caution to restrict gatherings, wear face masks, and social distance. Fortunately, there are just 6 active cases on Vancouver Island, for which we are very thankful.

It may be the Swedish model is the way to go as that seems to save more of the economy although they have very different outdoor social, eating, and drinking habits compared to the UK. blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-90859993876476587172020-10-01T16:15:39.919+01:002020-10-01T16:15:39.919+01:00Dearest Rosemary,
