Hello everyone! I hope you all are healthy and happy, as are Inge and I!
The excitement is building as, just about everyone in Windsor waits anxiously to hear the ‘new case count’, and hopes it will be low enough that Stage 3 will really happen for us.
And that brings me to the big question. What will happen then?
The first thing that will probably happen when we go to Stage 3 is that the ‘new case count’ will again go up. There will be just enough people taking chances with Covid-19 that some are bound to get infected. That’s just the way that viral infections work. But we can’t stay locked up forever. Sooner or later we have to open up and get back to work. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t do it carefully. 
Last month I told all of you about a risk mitigation tool that the Federal Health folks had posted on their website (I think it was the post before last). I think I’ll use it, at least for the first little while. This will be on my agenda each time I go out for a while. It can be found by entering Health Canada Risk Mitigation Tool in any search engine or browser. In any case, seniors like us will have to be careful.
Well, time will tell, as it always does. After a few days with very few new cases, all of a sudden we had seven by Saturday afternoon. All we can do is wait and see . . .
Please be careful . . .
Stay safe, stay well, get some fresh air if you can, and keep smiling . . .
‘til we meet again . . .
