Coronavirus diary, Sunday 10 January 2021


With the new. more infectious coronavirus variant running riot - a record 2,000 cases and 1,000 deaths in a day, among the worst in the world - the question is: what have we done wrong? It will be quite a time before we find out.

Since the first day of lockdown last March this blog has been my daily record of life as seen from Sunrise, Cardiff care home.

It will be some months before I write the final chapter when Robert and I intend to make it into a book, a permanent record of a bizarre saga. 

There will no doubt be volumes published on the pandemic, more searching and detailed than my personal account, seeking an answer to the question.

We will have to wait for years for the official answer from the public inquiry if it follows the pattern over the years.

The  Saville Report, set up by PM Tony Blair in 1998 into the killings in Londonderry/Derry in 1972 during the Irish troubles, took twelve years to report.

Four inquiries ordered by PM Theresa May, including one into the Grenfell Tower disaster three years ago, have cost £300 million so far without being completed.

A very long wait for the full story of the monumental, historic coronavirus disaster, and the answer to that all important question.
