“Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular.” So, states Roy T. Bennett, author of “ The Light in the Heart”. We can only hope that our Leaders are doing the right thing and we must adhere to their directions. Hence, another lockdown for Victorians. However, I am in constant contact with my Indonesian colleagues, who are overwhelmed by the delta variant. Claus Bogh’s brother in law in Jakarta has recently died at 45 years of Covid complications. The threat is real. I have heard of many of my friends’ relatives dying of Covid over there. Finally, I am fully vaccinated. We in Australia are so lucky to be isolated. I do grieve for our young trying to make a buck in this environment of lockdown and decreased opportunities to prosper. The isolated with mental health issues is another issue. Rotary eradicated Polio with vaccinations – this is an example that vaccination is a logical way to go forward. I cannot understand the anti-vaxxers stance against all the medical evidence that vaccinations work. Come summer, I am sure we will emerge from this debacle. Mark – Get off your soap box!! |
