My family in Australia just found out their section of the country will be on lockdown till the 24th. They had been doing so good no mask were required anymore.

I thought COVID 19 was a strain of the coronavirus? So there are new strains identified? Merry Christmas to us all! DH and I will be all alone on Christmas anyway, so just gives us another reason to hibernate.

@lovesrecess, it is a "novel" virus.

I keep up with the news every day. I am sad to say that the possible mutation of the virus making it more contagious (but not more severe) was not one of the news releases that worried, or should I say astounded me, the most.

Well, I didn't see the news all day. You have me curious @suzyQ3. Must be bad.

@proudlyfromNJ - I had heard Australia and New Zealand were doing so well. But the one thing none of us can forget is this virus is unpredictable. China really did a lot of damage to this world.

@goldensrbest - I hadn't heard about this much today either. Late this afternoon DD told me something she saw on Facebook. I haven't had the news on either. It's been college football all day today.

This will not affect our Christmas plans.

The two of us will be here, and we will connect with our children and grandchildren via zoom.

And we will not be going to church, either. We can talk to and pray to our Lord from anywhere.

@beach-mom What was China supposed to do? Make their people wear masks, distance from each other, not travel, cancel plans, stay home? Why should China have been more successful with those sorts of measures than we have been?

It seems the news on tv just can’t wait to forecast more gloom and doom. They know there is already more than one strain of this virus...it is common for viruses to mutate or change into different strains...so which one (s) does the vaccine protect us from?

They are saying the current vaccines will provide protection even if it mutates. Let's hope so!

Christmas isn't canceled just because one should stay home and not be a spreader. Cripes.

So sick of folks being dramatic about smart solutions. Its ONE YEAR of living differently.

MY solution needs to be I stop reading dramatic and silly posts. I'll take care of that.

One of my friends in northern England and I are in touch every day. She said the same thing: that "Christmas is cancelled." She was relaying the news that they are now in tier 4 (the highest level of restriction) and that, instead of the five day hiatus they were going to be allowed, to relax the restrictions a bit, that has now been cancelled.

They will only be able to get together on Christmas Day with a few members of their "bubble" (usually family). So the friend who was going to have lunch with her on Christmas Eve had to cancel.

My friend lives alone, so it is a big deal to those having to live this way. Yes, she is following all the rules, but that doesn't make it any easier, when she was looking forward to some pleasant company at least for a short time.

We still have far fewer restrictions in this country and many people can't even be disciplined enough to follow those.
