Footnote: While I make light of said idiocy in the upstairs chamber, I find it best to address it with a sense of musical humour. Hence, I sing 'Do I know or do I not?' sung on the song 'Should I stay or should I go' by the Clash.

In some way, we all have COVID-19. It makes us battle with ourselves. It makes us seek answers where there are none. In a similar fashion, it feels as if MS reigns in entire families.

COVID-19: Will there be Christmas?
