2020 started with great promise and resulted in a tough year for all of us. I had a suspected mild dose of COVID-19 myself earlier in the year, although I never had it diagnosed. The advice at the time was to self-isolate, and they had no interest in doing any tests. However, my recovery was fast, but my lungs hurt for several months.
I’ve been fortunate in not losing any one close myself, but I know several people who weren’t so lucky, losing loved ones and friends.
Here in London, we are still in tier 4 lockdown, but I’m not so optimistic that it will be lowered in March as is expected. Realistically, I don’t see 2021 being any better than 2020, and it could be months before the vaccine is rolled out to the wider public.
Still, I only had to cancel one show last year as a result of the virus. One show had to be cancelled a couple weeks ago due to a blocked ear, and for now, the beat goes on.
