There are also self-critical voices. “I have infected at Christmas because the whole family got together and although there was someone here and there with a cough, in the end, you hug everyone and everything is bad,” says a woman at the hospital door, “thank goodness I “I had been vaccinated because I am at risk and I have been spared the worst.”
