Today, like every Friday, I have been visiting my mother, who has been hospitalized for a few years now due to her illness, Alzheimer's disease.
My mother is still physically well although I cannot say the same on a mental level ... However, it is always a relief to see that she is well cared for.
In addition, this visit has also helped me to take a walk and see how my city is today.
Maybe you already know, but this morning we have received, from the government, new security/safety recommendations in order to to try to avoid the COVID outbreak that my city and its surroundings are experiencing.
The authorities recommend to the population to stay at home and also to avoid leaving the house unless it is for going to work or for buying supplies, obviously always wearing the mask.
They also recommend the closure of leisure spaces and, quite possibly, they are going to ban the opening of bars and restaurants shortly.
I have to say that most of the people I have seen on the street are using the mask, although there is always someone who breaks the norm, but what I did not like at all has been to discover crowds of people at some Bar terraces that seems who have not understood that the situation is more and more critical every day...
Sometimes it seems that our brain is designed to forget and thus to avoid the anguish of the past time... although only a few weeks have passed since the opening of the strictest lockdown ever made and some of us seem to have understood nothing or have forgotten everything, even if they don't suffer from Alzheimer's like my dear mum.
This is like buying all the covid lottery tickets indeed.
