What's happening?

Morning scene

 Infections have risen to 36 in our main monastery, and an ambulance came yesterday but I'm nit sure for who or why. The situation is out of control in the country, and the govt. hopes all this will lead to herd immunity. 

Meantime crowds continue to swarm the City. No distancing. The minimum they do is wear a mask .... but mostly for foreigner workers and people living outside Jerusalem. Locals especially the men refuse to wear the mask ... and probably they're the carriers. Kids' omicron wards are being opened as cases rise unprecedentedly. 

Clashes continue quietly throughout the country, news being overtaken by Omicron. There was a car ramming yesterday, the driver was shot dead by soldiers. Raids and arrests were made in arab villages, one elderly arab died of a heart attack. Clashes occurred in the desert as jewish groups planned to re-forest the desert but bedouins say it's taking over their land. An arab family will soon be evicted from their house in the troubled Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood and we expect more clashes there.

So much turmoil, people are unsure of what to do, who to turn to. I need some time out to let things settle down. I must go for my hospital appointment on Monday but with all this chaos and covid, I'm not sure who's driving me there and who'll stay with me. Who's healthy enough to bring me there and not get me infected during the 90 minute ride.
