Welcome to San Stefanos (NW Corfu) > San Stefanos news and views

So how many of us are actually going (hopefully)

<< < (57/124) > >>

Jimbo:
Probably not to everybody's taste, but I wrote this poem a few years ago, when I'd had a stroke and couldn't go to Corfu - and not long afterwards was diagnosed with bowel cancer. But maybe it catches the current mood of hoping, longing, to go, but not sure whether we'll live or die before it happens:

Karen:
Oh Jim...very poignant...

Karen:
So today, we are seriously considering changing our holiday again to next year. Who knows what restrictions will still be in place through the next few months. What are others thoughts on this?

Jimbo:
A huge amount depends on how successfully the South African variant is contained. It's even more dangerous than the Kent version. All the current vaccines are slightly less efficient against it.

However - the less social contact there is, the lower the chance of the virus being able to reproduce. The current lock-down is working well against the Kent mutation, so there are grounds for cautious optimism. But it is far too early to bet on success within at least a year.

Karen:
Yes, I agree Jim. It's great we are all getting vaccinated and of course, it seems that we can still catch and transmit the virus. It will be months before everyone, who wants it, is vaccinated.
