8 January 2021: Dreaming of waking up to this view…

8 January 2021: 4 years ago, on this very day we woke up in the Eco Lodge in Isla del Sol, Bolivia at an attitude of 4000 m with a breathtaking view on the high Andes and Lake Titicaca. Today we’re confined at home anxiously monitoring the coronavirus figures. The rate at which these numbers are going down is unfortunately slowing and we are bracing for what may happen over the next couple of weeks. During the week from 29 December to 4 January an average of 1,664 people/day tested positive for the coronavirus. This is down 2% on the 7-day rolling average for the previous week. Therefore, it is very unlikely that the government will announce any relaxation of the measures after today’s meeting. We are still far away from the threshold that has been set of 800 infections and 75 hospital admissions per day. The only thing we may expect from today’s gathering is an update on the roll-out of the vaccination campaign. Fingers crossed that, as a minimum, this will provide us with some hope for a return to our normal lives in the not-too-distant future – Isla del Sol, Bolivia
