Coronavirus Crisis Update To Start The Week - but end the day with Comedy

Regarding the Coronavirus crisis, first the bad news. then the good news. Some of the news is bad for some but good for others.

USA
You can still see cherry blossoms in Washington DC.
Too many sightseers go, so roads are shut.

Armchair travellers can admire online photos of cherry blossoms. Cherry blosssoms planted years ago are still bringing delight.

Given by the Japanese, to the Americans. A hundred years ago.

The bad news? Increasing lockdowns.

UK
Tree blossoms bloom quietly in London, England. Daffodils are out in March. Weather could be worse. It snowed on March 23rd in 1979. I was in hospital in Watford, North West London, about to give birth.

I try to always end on a high note. End my day by breathing deeply. End with a beautiful picure of nature. End with a cartoon or comedy film (movie).

My favourite comedy film?
The Ladykillers, the first version in 1955 starring Alec Guinness, Peter Sellers, Frankie Howerd, Herbert Lom, Jack Warner and others.
