I seem to feel like this pandemic is leaving me with this feeling that the likelihood of dying is higher than dying from flu and has been leaving me feeling anxious. My dad who is 59 caught the virus on New Years Eve and recovered after a week but it worries me because everyone gets different symptoms or doesn't get symptoms at all and I keep telling myself that more people worldwide have recovered than have died even though sadly 3 million people did die but it does scare me when I see broadcasts about the deaths and footage of intensive care units with patients most of which were over 50 but there were people in the 20s, 30s and 40s in there too. I am glad we now have vaccines, it made me optimistic but my hopes seem to dash but I heard that even if all 70 million people in the UK are vaccinated, we will still not be out of tunnel and I don't want to keep living in a socially-distanced and masked world even though there maybe other countries out there which still won't have a vaccine and still have the virus there and I want to get to back out there and enjoy life without having to worry about the person behind me coughing and thinking they have a deadly and contagious disease, I mean we have lived with the flu virus in circulation in winter and I have not been worried about that.
