As per usual, I turn the TV on to watch some of the world news via BBC; SKY NEWS and CNN - we have our own African channel, but that I watch last. Europe is my most favourite place in the world (apart from home) and at the moment their numbers are rising again with what they call "a second wave". All I see is Mayhem and sadness, and a feeling 2020 has been lost to the world and a slight sense of anxiety overcomes me. I have resorted to reading the AA Creed of SERENITY each morning, to keep me sane. Give it a try when you are feeling lowly, it might help you too. Lockdown is killing my MOJO!

When you watch the news you are sure of getting the anxiety, the sad feelings and all that. News barely brings up good stuff. It's always negative news. I have observed that for a long time. Haven't you noticed? But it's good u are balancing up with a good book.. How is the Corona cases in SA?

They have been kept low, but we are only going into our cold season now - which makes more people vulnerable

@kepweng *Most* people in Europe are certainly not going out already to celebrate the defeat of covid19. Where have you got that news from?

It's just awful, isn't it? Thankfully, Australia is doing as well as anywhere at the moment.

@Inlemay Any new cases are coming in by plane or ship. They are going straight into quarantine in hotels so hopefully won't have a chance to spread the virus.

@JudyEv Yes I believe your borders are open for some travel - my friend from Belgium who was staying with her daughter in Sydney flew back to Belgium last week and is now in quarantine for 14 days in Belgium

Millions of people all over the globe are feeling exactly like you do right now. We will never forget the year of 2020. Can you imagine if we had no internet, no TV, no radio, no newspapers right now, how we would know what's going on?

@Inlemay Switzerland is not going to reopen the border to Italy for the moment. I can understand, I know my compatriots even too well.

It sounds as though you are placing your trust in the right hands when it comes to learning the truth about world affairs.

We haven't finished the first wave yet because the graph is still high. Starting in June, however, several sectors will be opened in stages.

I stopped watching and checking about what's happening. That makes it easier.

I also watch cable channels particularly Al Jazeera and France 24 aside from CNN. Have you seen the list of worldwide covid numbers? You can check worldometers.info in the internet.
