The Global Pandemic Is Here To Stay
We need to start getting used to the “new normal”.
It’s December 2021 and I am on my third Covid diagnosis.
Compared to my last illness back in January, which rendered me comatose and completely unable to function, Omicron is quite mild and I have made a full recovery.
What no one tells you is that about getting Covid is that you suffer erectile dysfunction. As tempted as I am to share photographs of drips hanging out of various parts of my body, I will hold back.
What’s extraordinary here is that being vaccinated twice doesn’t necessarily insulate you from getting the Omicron strain of the virus.
And unlike the other strains, it seems to be spreading at a much faster rate than its predecessors, which is a major source of concern.
And given that more than a third of Londoners are yet to have been vaccinated, I am fully convinced that we are in serious trouble. far worse than anything that we witnessed at the end of 2020 going into 2021.
There are a number of hospitals in and around the area that I live in Colindale in North- West London.
Some of these hospitals are brilliantly run and a good number are actually in a serious state of disrepair.
