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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve been fortunate in not losing any one close myself, but I know several people who weren&#8217;t so lucky, losing loved ones and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here in London, we are still in tier 4 lockdown, but I&#8217;m not so optimistic that it will be lowered in March as is expected. Realistically, I don&#8217;t see 2021 being any better than 2020, and it could be months before the vaccine is rolled out to the wider public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2020 &#8211; A Tough Year<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2],"tags":[26,27,28],"class_list":["post-656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-covid-19","tag-vaccine","tag-virus","wpcat-2-id"],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dj.geminienfield.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/covid-19-vaccine.jpeg?fit=2150%2C1715&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dj.geminienfield.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dj.geminienfield.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dj.geminienfield.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dj.geminienfield.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dj.geminienfield.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=656"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dj.geminienfield.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":661,"href":"https:\/\/dj.geminienfield.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656\/revisions\/661"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dj.geminienfield.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dj.geminienfield.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dj.geminienfield.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dj.geminienfield.co.uk\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
