After 16 days of COVID i mixed my father’s ashes into a rose plant and two evergreen trees, sought his blessings, and return my broken heart to the reporting road for @themojostory starting travels through rural India. This will be a personal pilgrimage. Wish us luck and love

Unbelievable that governments see no curbing of freedom in closing borders, in travel apartheid, unscientific restrictions ( like double pcr tests at destination and departure) - but invoke liberalism when asked to mandate vaccines. Unbelievable idiocy.

We must be careful with how we claim #Omicron 'escapes' vaccines- as long as the jab keeps you out of ICU and staves off deaths, the vaccines are still doing their job, even if infections 'breakthrough'- The experts speak on @themojostory

to respond to covid in the same way in 2021 as we did in 2020 pre-vaccine is to have learnt nothing at all
