Vaccinating


I have had an exhausting day at work today. I spent it vaccinating loads against COVID-19 and influenza. I worked with a fellow Arsenal fan and in the few moments that we had a break, we had a chat about Arsenal. 

I did not know that the goal celebration of Saka last weekend was the result of banter with his international teammate, James Maddison. But considering what I had been doing all day today, I thought it was an appropriate picture to post!  I had discussed the game and I predicted an Arsenal win, but I thought that Eddie Nketiah would score a hat trick, he being a good squad player to use in games like this. But it was not to be, however we did win anyway and I will hopefully watch the match tomorrow. My wife and I are to travel to Bury St Edmunds tonight to watch Eddi Reader. 

I have had the odd discussion about COVID on Twitter (or rather X) where I was wrong about someone who compared COVID to influenza. COVID19 can be compared to the Spanish Flu outbreak after The Great War. We saw lessons there about how social distancing and restrictions on movement saved lives and flattened the curve. Back then there was no immunisation campaign. Hopefully this will flatten the curve of hospital admissions this winter.
