It Finally Got Us! (aka “Do I Have Covid?”)

It’s a very informal sample but through social media posts, talking to work colleagues and other family and friends, I’ve noticed a big increase in the “I’ve avoided it for 2.5 years but it finally got me” reports of people getting Covid. Our family is no exception – after two and a half years where, […]
