Ah well, 2021 hasn’t really got off to the best of starts. COVID infections and death figures running away. Very serious situation.
Me, I’m ok. Not sure if I should have a vaccination as I have chronic kidney disease and apparently there might be a risk. The vaccines haven’t been tested on people with CKD.
The children aren’t going to visit until I’ve had a vaccination.
I’m busy with the charity, but also with my role on the PPI group at the Nursing Academy and the medical school at Exeter university. There is a lot of involvement.
Goodness knows what’s going to happen in the USA - all very fraught at the moment. Trump seems to be obsessed with an idea that he’s been cheated out of his second term. All down to the fact that his election rallies were well attended, whilst Biden’s were sparsely attended - but he’s forgotten that this was because of the pandemic. He was encouraging people to ignore the danger as it was fake news.
Brexit has happened, but because of the lockdown, there hasn’t been any great effect as yet. Time will tell.
DCW is still operational, but a lot of the customers are closed. Luckily there haven’t been any infections amongst the staff. Lucerne, where Alice works, has been hit hard, 60 staff and patients tested positive.
