Very glad your family members have recovered and suffer no ill effects Griff.
There are however, in excess of 42,000 people last count, who if they were still alive would tell you their outcome was sadly very different.
I pray that the improvements we’ve seen in treatment since the first wave’s peak go some significant way to mitigating the mortality rate of the second especially for those individuals with vulnerabilities whom I’m sure we all know and have in our own families.
Those who read history will know the outcome of the late 1918 second wave of Spanish flu. Let’s hope covid-19 has a different ending.
