Season three of Covid-19 is here, and it's darker, nastier and a lot more frightening than the first two. Of course, it's full of many of the familiar characters, the antagonists and heroes of the first two instalments, with familiar lines and plots.
But there is something different now. We have a twist, a promising new protagonist to help save the day, The Vaccinator. This season promises a lot.
There is no spoiler alert, as we do not know if it ends with this, or if a fourth season will be commissioned. Vaccination may not be the golden bullet, but it certainly is a critical part of our arsenal.
The public is pinning a lot of hope on vaccination, to help get Ireland out of major lockdowns and society and business back to some normality.
