12th May, 2009 - Viruses

Sorry. I called my last post "viruses" because I wanted to say something about viruses. But then I got carried away, ranting about my father's selfish behaviour in getting some nifty new pulmonary veins fitted at the other end of the country. (I am still seething).

Anyway. The thing about hospitals that has changed since I last visited them (back when something really important was happening i.e my operation) is that there are now dire warnings posted everywhere about the importance of dousing your hands with anti-viral gel every thirty seconds. It is all very worrying, and has the faint feel of a science fiction movie in which Dustin Hoffman is going to have to save the world by coming up with an antidote.

I don't like viruses. Them and Danii Minogue. They both seem rather pointless to me.
