This is one where medical bureaucrats maybe really do place a tick in a box.
But is there a vaccine for it? Tricky this - if it's spread by ticks then will a face-mask suffice in crowded pubs (as public spaces will come to be called in the absence of the real thing)?
Will the bureaucrats all be guilty of spreading the disease without knowing it? Will further pandemic measures have to be invented to stop them?
And how could we survive the agonising wait for a vaccine, even if developed at warp speed, in our modern bureaucracy-ridden society?
Indeed, how could a properly-regulated vaccine ever be developed without a veritable orgy of box-ticking?
Something will have to give.
Sit down before you read this - you can't tell if that will make you more or less immune, but every little helps.
