Coronavirus diary, Tuesday 10 November


At last, some encouraging news.

The success of the US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer's trials for an anti coronavirus vaccine has lifted hopes and spirits around the world.

The race to find the answer to the devastating pandemic is international but no-one should care who wins.

Like a marathon, as competitors stream past the finishing line, all will be satisfied. We will all share the achievement.

lt is all the more remarkable that it has, in fact, been a sprint, achieved in months, not years,

We might soon hear of further success, including another front runner, Oxford University. 

But there is caution from the prime minister, a warning not to get  carried away and be overoptimistic about the news. He is right.

We must not ignore the lockdown and other restrictions trying to stem the second wave.

But the possibility of a return to normal life looks just a little closer today

My life has certainly taken a turn for the better.

I have just heard that I can leave my room and rejoin Sunrise everyday life after six tough weeks.

A good news day.
