I know I am old and am losing millions of brain cells every day (don’t sneer – we all are, but no need to panic because we start off with billions of these neurons) but I like to think I do have at least a spark of intelligence left.

However, with every day that passes, the COVID-19 debacle confuses me more. A person in authority tells us that we should all be vaccinated, it is the only way for protection against the virus, and yet we are also told that the vaccine does not offer full protection, either against a person getting the virus or passing it on – and will not protect against the new strains that keep cropping up. Oh, yes! and by the way, having the Jab might make you ill – but not to worry because it only affects a few – too bad if it’s you. You might ask if there will be a need for yearly jabs – you might well ask but you won’t get an answer because apparently nobody knows.

Depending on who you are is whether it is deemed safe for a person to return home from places like India. Does this mean that the virus actually knows your circumstance (if you are a (wealthy) sportsperson for instance). Too bad if you're not.

It seems to me that those who make the rules are chasing their tails, never getting in front of the situation. Good job they were not in authority years ago – enough said! On that note I will shut up, have a strong cup of coffee, try not to worry about the number of brain cells I have left to lose, and wait for the predictable comments that will probably be forthcoming.
