BeeGees or Sondheim?

Yesterday’s announcement that Covid restrictions will be lifted next week has caused many conversations between friends and families about what constitutes ‘quality of life’, particularly end of life and living with compromised immunity. These last two years have made all of us address what matters to us most and led to decisions which have caused division every bit as much as they have ensured protection. Now, the idea that we have to ‘live with Covid’ strikes fear into many, and gives reassurance to others. The most important concept to emerge, in my view, is a definition of what ‘living’ means. Are you a BeeGees person (Staying Alive ) or a Sondheim one (Being Alive)? You can of course be both, as long as you understand there is a difference.
