The dance coronavirus is taking us on is relentless and exhausting

Seriously, writes Jenny Eclair, this pandemic really knows how to hit where it hurts

What a terrible dance the coronavirus is leading us on. It’s the ultimate one step forward, two steps back routine that wears you out and gets you absolutely nowhere. 

Imagine it danced to something like the creepy theme tune from The Third Man. A haunting kind of melody, that goes silent for a while before starting up again, quietly at first and then louder and louder, reminding us that we aren’t in charge, our government is clueless and we are nowhere near finding a safe vaccine.

That we should be living in such awful times is sometimes too bewildering to contemplate and the fact we can never truly relax is exhausting.
