Remember Corona tho?
I know its not over and im very aware that thousands possibly still die each week globally.
But remember it, im not afraid to admit, it terrified me, I was totally in the "its just a flu" camp, then I heard about a fella who was the same age as me, somebody I saw a few weeks before who was the picture of health, had just become a Grandad and it just knocked me for 6. It took me a while to get over that.
Then fear, not for me, I made my peace, but fear for my parents, my children, somebodies else parents.
The lockdowns, the way we treated the health service like Royalty, rightly so!
It made me value life, everything we take for granted family, liberty, living without fear. So yeah, I remember Corona, I doubt its something people of our era will ever forget.

There's no specific NHS thread, I can't be bothered making one, so here will have to do.

Thanks Goat for that. Friend of mine told me that his pregnant daughter and 3 year old granddaughter caught Covid and we're taken to hospital as a precaution. His granddaughter was given a heart MRI, just in case. They spent two weeks in hospital and we're only let out last Saturday. Scary stuff.

Believe we're rolling out the omicron specific vaccines here next month.

Couple of good things to read about getting over long covid here. Might not be applicable to everyone. It definitely helped me when I was starting to get a bit worried.

Popcorn? For a celebration? Open the champagne more like, flu killed between 15,000- 50,000 people a year in Britain but happily its now a thing of the past. ?
