Please see the following chart which gives an excellent overview of the Corona virus 19 around the world, you can also access it everyday at the following link
VIRUS REPORT
So at the moment you have approx 150 thousand people affected and 70 K recovered which quite a good rate and is growing better every day.,. but somehow we have this really urgent need to empty the shops of toilet paper and anything else we might need as though there was about to be a World War.
People have stopped travelling and now wearing masks which make no difference whatsoever unless you carry the virus and then should be at home and keeping away from people.
We are still Florida with our originally planned scheduled to return on the the 31 st March, but now all hell has loose with people stopped flying and Airlines grounding thousands of aircraft and laying off staff, its really quite ridiculous. So now we have rebooked our flight nearly 2.5 weeks earlier than planned as if we wait any longer then flights to the UK may also stop. We now return to cold wet weather and no swimming pool at 33 C and BBQ dinner outside in the evening listening to the birds. There are 37.2 billion people in this world and if 20% off them were affected I would accept the conditions imposed by countries about travel
Some weeks ago we saw some wild boar's accross from us having fun, see photo
There are many people who do not like the US President and perhaps he is not the best of speakers, but sometimes if you are good at your job its really not important ow you present. I do get fed up with the smarmy politicians with lovely smiles and great teeth and brilliant at presenting but most of them were pretty rubbish at doing the job, this applies to pretty much every Western government, as fas as I can see. I do remember a very good guy in my ex company who was an excellent computer technician and he new everything there was a to know. In small group discussions he was excellent but put him in front of a group of people to explain how the systems operate and how they should be used was a complete disaster.
This morning we visited another house in Rotondo West which we have booked for next year, its not yet complete but we could see what it would be like going forward and its enormous, its amazing what you get for £ 400K here. There is a huge deck area eclosed in the lanai with a really good swimming pool and nice views over the wider part of the canal. Also it much nicer fitted out in the kitchen and bathrooms than other houses we have stayed in so looking forward, providing the virus problem has been resolved, to staying there next year.
Oh well back to the pool.
