Uncertain
We are living through uncertain times, worrying times. The world will never be the same again.
It's been a while since I wrote anything. I have spent my time in the last few weeks rebuilding the home server. It has been an interesting project, and something of a diversion from the world beyond my front door.
We are in the midst of the third national lockdown. The new variant of the virus is sweeping across the country, hospitals are beyond full, and the death toll continues to rise. We are warned the peak may still be weeks away.
Meanwhile in the US, Trump faces impeachment, accused of inciting the riot that resulted in the storming of the Capitol Building. He continues to make inflammatory comments, and there is real concern there will be further violence at the inauguration of Biden. The leader of the free world is in danger of spiralling into civil war.
We rarely see news about what is happening in China or Russia. I imagine the virus is taking its toll in those countries too, but I also suspect the priority for Xi and Putin is not controlling the virus but how best they can exploit the turmoil in the States.
