Howard,
That must have been very worrying for all of you. But I'm glad you're 
all ok. Did you have a quadrivalent flu jab? I ask as Geraldine and I 
get one each, and she also has the pneumonia one too, but I know they're 
not 100% bulletproof.

Keep safe as the last thing you need now is the real CoVid-19....
