The year 2020 was a Red Wedding year for the majority of people. The COVID-19 pandemic forced people to be locked up in their homes. Many lost their lives and livelihoods, making them question their sanity. The current year began with a ray of hope when various vaccines developed to fight the disease went under trials. Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin recently took a shot of one vaccine ‘Moderna‘ according to his blog, Not a Blog, and also reported about his ongoing projects.
It said, “I got the first shot of Covid vaccine last week, I am relieved to report. The Moderna vaccine. Second shot scheduled for the end of the month.
Parris has also gotten her first shot. That’s the good news. And it does seem that we are finally turning the corner on the pandemic. We are not out of the woods yet, but I am cautiously hopeful.
The bad news, of course, is that I have lost five friends since November. Not all to Covid, though that was a factor in some of the deaths. Death is part of life, I know, it waits for all of us, valar morghulis and all that. Even so, this is too much too soon, and it has been hitting me hard. I have friends who struggle with depression, but I have never been prone to such myself… at least not the kind of depression that requires medication… but it is hard to stay upbeat and focused when you are suffering so many losses so close together, blow after blow after blow.
Fuck you, Grim Reaper. Stick that scythe up your arse and leave my loved ones alone. Meanwhile, I do my best to lose myself in work.”
