As inoculations proceed over the cheery duration, I wish we can all “consume a beverage” to salute our NHS employees for without a doubt being “the saviours of the mankind”.

A really fascinating post by Aaron Collins on masks (Some Covid masks are better than others. I know – I’m the Mask Nerd, 27 December), yet the laid-back referral to his suggested mask setting you back “much less than an extra pound” makes me ask yourself just how a household on global credit scores can have a hope in heck of giving these for its participants?
