Hello Avon!

On 05 Mar 2022, Avon said the following...
 Av> Island visiting my old family home. My father was diagnosed with
 Av> prostate cancer a while back and has had some initial hormone treatment

Wishing him all the best, and hoping the treatment will go well!

 Av> days are full looking after her, cooking the meals etc. and I am also
 Av> trying to work remotely while doing all of this. I think in truth I am

Oh my -- then you've certainly got your hands full... Glad to hear that your brother will be helping you with all this!

 Av> 54... so the strategy to date had worked well but when delta and then
 Av> omicron came in it was clear elimination would not work.

Yes... Nowadays here it is a matter of trying to get as many as possible vaccinated to avoid overloading healthcare and ICU, but the number of people not taking their boosters is a bit worrying. As they now usually test healthcare staff and hospitalized people only, no one really knows any figures any longer. And on top of that came the Ukraine/Russia conflict, which changed the focus...

 Av> You can appreciate I am keen to avoid it, for myself, my father and my
 Av> mum who is super frail and I think would be hit hard / could die if she
 Av> got it.

Keeping fingers crossed that you'll all be able to stay safe and avoid the Covid!

Take care,

Best regards
Zip
