WhatsAaaaap. As much as this week’s shenanigans around the Cabinet Office wanting veto on Covid era WhatsApp messages have put the old Budweiser ad back to the front of my head, the deadly serious point about this is, well, deadly.
Watching several of my mates falling like flies this week, the non-Disabled ones saying they feel like they’ve been ‘hit by a truck’ or feeling ‘like a weak old lady’ and the Disabled ones floored like zombies at the hands of Sean of the Dead for weeks on end, underlying conditions exacerbated, lungs scarred and screwed, fatigue off the scale, I can’t see anything about Covid in the press. It’s gone away because we’re not talking about it.
But it’s still here. A giant, protein spike-covered elephant in the middle of all the rooms. It’s still here, knocking people over, giving them long term energy impairments, and being talked about in court rooms as the Covid Inquiry enters Module 2.
