You're good to go

Now that Covid-19 has been beaten and we can all emerge from our great national hibernation without having to worry too much about the invisible mugger, isn’t it time we showed some gratitude? No, not the NHS silly, but the great team at the nation’s helm, and its captain (whose father told us he had ‘taken one for the team’). Here in Scarborough, it is clearly now safe for the vast majority of people down at the seafront to rub shoulders once again in the queues for fish and chips and ice cream. They’ve got the message, viz. immunity to facts is a condition for the selfish gene to prosper. This is the true herd immunity. But Scarborough’s chippies and parlours had better watch out: whilst we enjoy temperatures around 20°C, we have some competition in the form of  Verkhoyansk where 38°C has been recorded. Never mind that Verkhoyansk is inside the Arctic Circle. Nothing to worry about! Covid probably never reached it. Let the good times roll!
