00:00a year that we've all been living with this and this is something that I began
00:06making back in August obviously then rather hoping that Derek and I will be
00:14chatting with you together and that more recovery had been possible that hasn't
00:20been the case and it is it is looking not just at what's happened to my family
00:26but also to other families and the very very long tail that Covid has I mean
00:33obviously Derek is an extreme example we don't want to scare people with what he's
00:38been through but there are many other people that have got versions of it and
00:43and still not enough is known about the impact of it still we talk about long
00:49cover we tend to think of breathing long-term problems fatigue yeah
00:54anxiety yeah the post-traumatic stress syndrome but it is much more
00:59widespread than that and yes it's very emotional though and we're going to
01:03talk about it aren't we next week because it's actually next Tuesday it's being
01:07aired and it's on the anniversary of lockdown isn't it anniversary of lockdown
01:11yeah unbelievable I mean it has been a year of grief it's also been a year of
01:16obviously for you and those people who have been severely affected absolutely
01:20traumatic it has been a year of progress in some ways as well as you note that
01:26have been some treatments that have been yes you know that there is the vaccine
01:32program and I just I often think how hard that must be for you well
01:37unfortunately Derek was surfing the crest of a very grim wave so he was always just
01:43in front of some of the incredible as you says picture of us on holiday with
01:48Billy and sister you're wearing the same hat as his child
