  road did not look easy, twisting 
  and turning, steep and dark 
  into unknown territory. There 
  were many, many casualties. 
  There was hope in the distance 
  an end, a release, like an open 
  space to the sea.

  This painting changed many times 
  and seemed eventually to be a 
  concise expression of the problem 
  we were facing.

  Like a mask of protection in the 
  distance and masks were difficult to 
  obtain.
 
 
   
 
 
  A war was going on to find PPE 
  protection for our nurses. Vast amounts 
  of money was thrown into bribes, to get 
  hold of supplies to protect our nurses 
  and doctors who were fighting on the 
  front line of this pandemic war. 
  Nightingale Hospitals were created out 
  of nowhere to handle the crisis. The 
  pandemic was spreading like wildfire 
  across the world.
 
 
   
 
 
  Lots of people were getting very 
  worried and trying to look for 
  something positive. Captain Tom
  became a symbol of perseverance 
  and even made top of the pops 
  with ‘You will never walk alone’
