I am very pleased that Mr DRAKEFORD, our FIRST MINISTER, stuck to his guns, keeping Wales in lockdown for another three weeks, except for a couple of minor adjustments. I am sure that the owners of the garden centres are relieved that they can now sell their plants instead of throwing them away. More exercise is good, but I will have to wait a bit longer to see the rest of my family..
As I live on my own, I am very dependant on the TV to bring me the news both good and bad..I just cannot stop watching the reports from all over the world. I have shed many tears over the deaths of complete strangers.The world seems to have contracted, all the people now being part of one large family, battling against the same disaster, personal to us all. .Such is the power of TV. It helped Captain TOM MOORE raise more than 33 million pounds, walking up and down his garden path. Well done, I wonder what that money will be spent on.
Last Friday we all celebrated Victory in Europe Day. Much praise was heaped on our soldiers, our brave heroes. I know. that those that are still alive are very old and frail. Now many of these brave men are dying in the Care Homes. We should all be ashamed at the way we have neglected them..
I have just heard on the news , that the thousands of deaths in the care homes, was caused by a bad decision. The elderly patients were transferred from the hospitals into the care homes. This was to free beds for the new Confid Virus 19 patients. A very major mistake, which is having terrible consequences. These patients had not been tested to see if they were carrying this dreadful virus .Unfortunately, they were the carriers, who spread this disease all over the country to the weakest,, who are now dying in their thousands. I do not expect that we will ever know the true numbers of those who have died this way. R.I.P.

This morning a speaker from the N.H,S.answered the accusation discussed in the article above. According to this speaker, all the elderly patients who were transferred back to the Care homes were moved with the agreement of all parties.The hospitals needed the beds for the Cofid 19 patients, while the Care Homes needed the income as most of them are privately run , This turned out to have been a dreadful decision.What a pity that they not test them for the Virus before the transfer.I hope that all sides have learned a valuable lesson for the future..
