The current lockdown might be driving you stir crazy, but some of us are used to it. My particular “underlying condition” (to coin the current phrase) is Multiple Sclerosis. Lots of us have an underlying condition. Admittedly the more soul-destroying reports of the ravages of Covid-19 are accompanied by the term “underlying condition”, yet if the waves of kindness sweeping over us are anything to go by, everyone has the backs of anyone with an underlying condition and we can all relax. I have started to listen to people who can do different things in different ways.
