In early 2020 we heard statements that Coronavirus could infect as many as 2.5 billion people within 45 days and kill as many as 52.9 million of us…that’s one scary statistic!  In March 2020 the World Health Organisation declared that the mortality rate would be 3.4%, another scary forecast!  On this basis, or some other statistic or forecast, a few good men and women declared a pandemic.  Fortunately, as we all may know now, those predictions of gloom and doom have not come to pass and were, shall we say, somewhat exaggerated.  The sky hasn’t fallen.
