| Ring out the worst year in memory... |
Throughout the world everyone must be glad to see the end of this, the last day of probably the worst year in living memory. A year to forget. It started benignly, full of promise. It is ending more malignant than ever.
In January 2020 no-one could have dreamt it would be such a nightmare. Since then, coronavirus, which came out of the blue, has infected 52 million, killing 1.79 million worldwide.In the UK, of the 2.38 million cases, over 70,000 have died. Horrific.
Even more dispiriting, the second wave of the mutant coronavirus is threatening to overwhelm the hospitals, with higher than ever infection rates.
To try to limit the unexpectedly dangerous surge many more areas of the UK have been moved into higher tiers. Wales is in another lockdown.
There is little more to be said of this dying year except to be glad it is at last over, and to welcome the new year tomorrow with the fervent hope that 2021 will see the end of this misery.
