When does it end?

When does it end? The mazes go up and the mazes come down and then up they go again. Stores are open in London but getting into those open stores is time consuming and patience destroying. The line-ups are long, wrapping around quickly improvised barriers such as these shopping carts flipped upside down.

It is hard to believe that at well run society wouldn't have delegated a lot of this stuff to the past by this point. Canada is reportedly one of the world leaders when it comes the vaccinating its people. But, sadly, shockingly, Canada's world leading numbers are not all that impressive. Only 24.5% of Canadians are fully vaccinated. The U.S. is doing almost twice as well as Canada with 45.3% fully vaccinated. The U.S. hasn't passed even the halfway point. Globally, only 22.6% of the population has received the first vaccination and in the poorest regions of the world that number drops to 0.9%.

With numbers like that, Covid-19 may be with us for a long time yet. And, with so many folk resisting getting vaccinated, there may be more severe strains of the virus in our future.
