One in 50 people in England had Covid last week, says Chris Whitty

Last year in April when the virus raged in UK I did not know anybody in my circle who got the virus. This time around, every day I get news of someone or other who we know being positive with the virus. The main symptom with this variant is the loss of smell and taste that seems to last for a couple of months.

I knew of 2 people in March in ClientCo offices.

Then I knew no-one over summer.

Then it kicked off in November and over Christmas, I started hearing of a lot of people including children.

Yep, one colleague got it back in April going to his local gym near Atlanta, the other got it in October as he decided to go to Las Vegas for a weekend break which proves the old adage of 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas' is not true. My accountant got it also in April, said it was the worst illness she has ever had and laid her down for 6 weeks and she still feels like tulip.

Since Feb 2019:
3 friends dead
4 others recovered, one not so much.
several acquaintances dead or recovered, but not all fully.
it's not a pleasant illness <i know, an oxymoron>

You need to have real life friends for that first
