??How affected is YOUR   part of the world???

This  virus  has now  developed a  variant that is sweeping though England right now plus in other  countries ; the  stark warning is  if you do not  absolutely need to travel then do not

if you are offered the vaccine then please do accept it

Do let us know which part of the world you are in and how affected it is and all of you please stay safe !!

More information for you  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html

Please do read it and try to understand  just how this virus  affects ALL of us ;IF  you are seeking to celebrate Christmas this year you are strongly asked to consider how you do it as the more  'mixing' there is over the  time   the virus WILL spread ;various countries are declaring their own lock downs  and in England, although we   presently have  our liberty over the  festive period  many think this  is a very unwise  move

The UK Christmas  'break' is still on   so DO please  take great care  and do NOT  travel  unless you really need to ; keep it small,simple sharp and take NO risks or COVID19 WILL take  advantage and spread !!!

if you are in the UK do check here to book an LFT given that schools have now returned and the risk of virus spread has increased
