Pollen Count

I mentioned a few days ago about the amount of pollen around at the moment.  It certainly doesn't seem to be letting up and with the rain we've had today, there's been some rather significant 'pools' of it around.  This was a small patch on my deck - it looks terrible.  The plus side of all the rain though is that it will have washed it all off the car :)  A very indoorsy day in order to stay warm and dry.

In COVID news, there has been 1 case of infection in a managed isolation facility and 5 more community cases.  The good news is that all of the community infections thus far appear to be from the same original source (not that this is 'good') but it does mean that the virus isn't reproducing randomly through communities.  On the not so good side though, are the social media trolls who are victimising the family at the heart of this outbreak. They clearly have a) no appreciation or understanding of what Dr Ashley B has been telling us about the insidious, sneaky nature of this virus, b) no moral radar - who would seek to 'blame' individuals in a situation like this? and c) nothing better to do with their tiny lives than troll other, innocent - and no doubt very worried - individuals.  Shame on you.
