More man flu than Wu-flu at the moment.”In other news, felt shivery and crap yesterday. Turns out I have been visited by Lord Covid at last and have the Omnicold (if the LFT is to be believed!)

It is an anti-parasitic drug used mostly in animals, though has been used to treat worms in humans.Fox has been outspoken in his views during the pandemic, last year casting doubt on the UK’s death toll, and vowing not to get the COVID vaccine until 2023.
