20 November

And video 2 out of the UK. You can play make-believe and ignore serious threats to your life, so you can go to gigs and restaurants and pubs, and on OS holidays. And then reality will bitch slap you. Work won’t care, if you run out of sick leave, you might get leave without pay. If you’re lucky. Medicine has nothing to offer you for perpetually repeated infections, you’re on your own. Early death will follow. Many say to me, if it’s this bad, something would be being done about it. That instinct was right when we had a functioning public health system. We dismantled that soon after Covid started, the kidults were missing their gigs and dining out and OS travel too much. Politicians openly said it, it’s your ‘personal responsibility’ now. Like this poor young woman you have no hope of fixing Covid yourself. You can only try to avoid catching it.
