IT’S HIGH TIME WE LOOKED ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

JI’VE been reading the work of Edgar Allan Poe. God knows his world view fits coronavirus territory: “We dwell alone in a world of moan”, he writes. By contrast Prof Karol Sikora, a world-leading cancer specialist, says he doesn’t think there will be a deadly second wave of the virus: he believes it’s burning itself out.

Our death toll is plummeting, as are infection rates, and this lethal pathogen is tiring, he says, becoming less aggressive.

Studies show the viral load in

newly-infected patients is much lower than it was. So don’t moan with Poe: sing Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life with Monty Python and Louis Armstrong’s wonderful lines “Life WILL be so sweet, on the sunny side of the street”.
