It's Singapore Virtually

London, UK, June 4, 2021--As I write this column on a sunny Saturday afternoon in late-May in the south of the UK I reflect that, just as I approach the 20th anniversay of my joining GVF, it’s still going to be some time until my GVF duties will require me to take a flight departing from London Gatwick, my nearest international airport, or London Heathrow, some one-hour away by motorway.  As the impact of the pandemic in many parts of the world not only continues but becomes yet more serious, some parts of the UK are affected by the Covid-19 strain offically designated B.1.617.2, and commonly known as the “Indian variant”.  Also, as I write, I am eagerly anticipating the second of my Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccinations…This, at least, will be a step in the right direction, though the watch word will remain one of caution.
