The coronavirus vaccine is nearly here. There's rumours it could land for us NHS workers in the next two weeks. And my current source of utter gobsmacked boggling bemusement is that some people who are able to have the vaccine are actually dragging their heels about it. It would make more sense to me if … Continue reading The End?

Positive
This weekend, the NHS started coronavirus antibody tests for all staff. These are the tests that tell you whether you have had coronavirus in the past (but not if you have it at the moment).

It was quite a challenging course with a full mile of uphill … Continue reading Coronavirus Rigidus
