Coronaviruses have circulated in humans for centuries and were first chronicled in the hedonistic 1960s.
Most of them were mild – except for HKU1 which stuck the boot into your gut too.
Then, two years ago, CV became a little monster, so small it could fit inside a Pacman a million times over.
But despite its size, it flapped around us like a giant avenging angel. It left bodies, heartbreak and fear along the roads of our fiscal thunder – broken businesses, bust bosses and old people trapped inside new prisons of their minds, hospitals and care homes.
No one can make Covid disappear.
But repairing the damage done to our livelihoods and our societies is the only way we can move forward.
Yep, after two years of hell, the pandemic is officially over according to ebullient, bullsh*t-sharing Boris.
Covid has been down-graded to just one of the many chesty illnesses we have to cope with.
At a time when Boris is beginning to look more like a big blond weeble trying to peck the PR latch on party-gate, decorating-gate, lying-gate, fuel-gate, Brexit-gate, Ukraine-gate, Covid just doesn’t seem to be a major problem any more.
But it is still with us.
And so is the collateral damage. More than 6 million on hospital waiting lists, a mental health epidemic, primary care services collapsing and education basically off the curriculum.
Oh, and don’t forget about the economy – towns and city centres deserted, leisure and entertainment industries decimated. Office blocks empty… and a new rural cottage industry as so many now work from home.
The question has to be, has Boris Itsgoodenoughnow actually declared us a free-from-lockdown nation to save his own careless career?
Or are we all, overnight, as safe as we have always been from, for instance, flu?
Or as safe as we have been for centuries from the rigours of Covid?
Sir Keir Starmer who was left a bloated, festering mess by that nice Mr Corbyn stamped his little donkey foot and said Boris is moving too quickly and should continue to pour £2billion a MONTH into “free” Covid tests.
They’re not FREE Keir – they cost £2bn a month! Even a donkey at your sanctuary can work that out!
The thing is Keir, Boris is out there fighting a potential war in Europe, coping with bumbling Biden, making ‘mad’ Macron look like a mackerel, fighting a million home fires … and trying to hide his protruding peccadilloes.
Keir, you and so many others are fighting a war that is hopefully already over … the battle now is to give the UK a feeling of dignity, determination, well-being and a rickety sense of freedom.
