Fingers crossed

Near empty
street to the Holy
Sepulchre
 There was a stabbing attack in Hebron a few hours ago. The terrorist was shot and wounded. Earlier in the day, Israel bombed the eastern border of Syria near Iraq. That's very deep inside syrian territory. It's all very troubling .... we wonder what will happen in summer.

Infection rates yesterday remained at 9000+. However almost 2 million citizens have been vaccinated. That's one quarter of the total population ... the most successful vaccination programme in the world. But a lot has to done about the lockdown ... how people disregard the law and get away with it. The police promised to be severe in enforcement but we don't see any of it. Ultra-orthodox schools continue to function in broad daylight with impunity. 

It's my 2nd day in self-isolation. I've a sore throat and a headache ... but I don't have a fever and I can still smell and taste. I hope I didn't catch the virus. I'll surely die because of my asthma and other health issues. It's getting scary. It's prayers and fingers crossed from now on.
