^Re the flu - for what it's worth, my local pharmacist says it can mainly be ascribed to hand washing. I think it's a worldwide thing. People are also not visiting their doctor though, for minor ailments, or reporting a flu case. Who knows?? All very complex.
We've had a sad event in my town - 63 African penguins have been found dead at Boulders Beach. Stung by bees, of all things! The bees are also dead, of course, because that's how it works. I don't think I've ever heard of a swarming around here. Very strange! Our endangered and vulnerable wildlife isn't having a great time of late - the Great Whites have disappeared from False Bay, and now this.
