Well a year ago I was worried, what was going to happen? Would food stop coming from the EU? Would all of my family die from Covid? Would we have to arm ourselves to defend the farm and our produce?
My agronomist said to me once, things are never as good as you think they’re going to be, but also never as bad as you think they could be.
My experience so far is, it hasn’t been as bad as I worried in those first few months of the pandemic. And I did worry, those news conferences every day with their stern delivery of the numbers certainly put the wind up
me! Nevertheless I still don’t know anyone personally who has died from Covid or even anyone who has tested positive! When you look at the stats still only 4% of the population has tested positive and only 0.2% have died within 28 days of a positive test.
I guess all the measures have worked in a way, but where would we be without them? Lockdown hasn’t been too bad imo for us farmers, but I’ve certainly missed people. I know we’re not anywhere near out of the woods yet, but I wonder what will be taken from the whole pandemic learning curve?
