It’s getting harder and harder to write. That is, to write something that people will find interesting enough to read, but here goes, anyway. It really comes down to finding something to write about. After that, the words come easy; they just pour out onto the page!
So, what to write about? Let’s try ‘Restrictions due to Covid-19’. Let’s list the topics, and then flesh them out:

• Social distancing
• Hand washing
• Lockdown
• Special cases
• The new normal – when?
• Who can open?
• How?

Social distancing has become the new normal and probably will stay in place, either exactly as it is now or in some similar form. Extreme hand washing is probably something else. It will likely gradually get shorter and shorter until it will probably disappear.
Now the lockdown. In almost every part of the country, the nature of, and rules for, the lockdown will gradually open up as the various regions cautiously unroll their plans for ‘getting back to normal’ as if that were even possible.
As far as that goes, we are already hearing that one major change will happen. It’s already become fairly certain that doctors will replace most patient visits with so-called virtual visits or, in most cases, simple phone calls.
As restaurants gradually open, patios and outdoor dining first, it’s not really clear if their customer base will come back. Perhaps it’s just a matter of time. Who knows?
What will churches be like? Premier Ford has allowed places of worship to open up. I got an email from Bedford United Church, saying that they were opening. I guess that I’ll go to church and find out.
I wish that I had a crystal ball, or something like that, to see into the future. The first thing I know that I’ll look at is the virus and whether now is the right time to open up. I’ve got a feeling that it may be too soon, but that’s just me. On that note, I think I’ll call it a day . . .
 Stay safe, stay well, get some fresh air if you can, and keep smiling . . .
‘til we meet again . . .
