Thanks for this Barb, nice to hear such an honest account at this frustrating time. Omicron is rampant in the UK currently. Thankfully, at least based on the info we have at the moment, it seems to be causing milder illness but so many health care staff are off work that it's creating a real strain on the health service. Masks, hand washing, testing, social distancing, vaccines: they all seem normal to me now. I'll happily keep doing it all, if it keeps people safe and helps keeps businesses afloat.

Glad to hear your son is ok - stay safe!
