I race to the nursery to pick up my daughter. According to her minder, she has ‘sticky eyes’ and I jaunt from Soho to Walthamstow to remove her from the group.
Conjunctivitis is an annoying eye infection that is relatively minor, moderately disgusting, and highly infectious. I am thrown back into the high-octane paranoia of the lockdown era, arriving to find she has been happily sequestered from her friends, in an attempt to contain her nascent plague.
