Very sad news, to go this way after the life he led and everything he did for our country and more recently the NHS. Gutsy, smart, lovely, loving and humble to the last. There aren't enough like him.
Unfortunately there are many elderly folk who cannot get vaccinated due to the medication they're on/ailments they have...my 80+ aunts/uncles included. I fear this virus is going to wipe them all out, as you can't live in isolation forever. Fecking virus.
