Covid assessment

Things move fast, very fast in this world; I personally get a bit depressed on all this news. Hungary is still quite safe I think, even if figures might be understated.

Over the last few months I was surprised (and also shocked) in how far the topic was and is underestimated. I mentioned before me and my wife are (perhaps to the extreme) very careful, however some of our neighbors are not (guests, going everywhere ...).

Of course it is not good if anybody gets the virus (although a previous boss in Paris was in hospital (but did not die( I do not know on long lasting effects though)), I am pretty sure that some of the ex-colleagues in the US are also impacted (health wise)

Now however Corona did arrive in our village (Hungarian tourists) renting an apartment, I do not know them, but I feel sorry, still for becoming aware for the village it is a good thing, the guests are still young (and they will probably survive (long lasting effects is a different matter), for our fellow residents if is a good wake up call.

What I am a bit scared about is that all non-residents will be put in a box and in the end it might even extend to non-Hungarians even if residents. Not a topic right now at all and I feel we are in a way a bit integrated, still ....

At this stage tourists are frowned upon (I would even say especially if they are from Budapest). Really quite sad, but in a way rightfully so. Countries around us (and in the world) have serious issues, in my view (even if you live in an apartment) can you skip a holiday?
