In the background of my mind is a women, two women actually. One is in hospital and the other one should be, strictly speaking. They had flu and now have pneumonia. Around them their families and friends gather. Let us gather too. Gather for all the many who struggle to get air into their lungs this night, struggle to survive.
The disease does seem to be especially rampant this year.
I’m grateful to my G/P who had me vaccinated fairly early in the autumn. So far so good.
Many of my friends have gone down with this current pestilence.

You can say that again. The flu has seen off quite a few people this year.
