On 31 December 2019, the WHO was informed of a cluster of cases of pneumonia of unknown cause detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China.

Therefore, this edition is somewhat devoid of activities that had to be postponed or cancelled from that time. With me being identified as a person who is at risk of severe illness if I catch Coronavirus, I have been housebound since 23 March until 21 June at the earliest. I hope that any of you in similar circumstances are managing to also survive. (Editor). When? It makes one Ashamed to be British!!
