@steveadams Im on an 8th generation iPad and the play button is non responsive, maybe Covid has crossed species again and got into the software

@steveadams The tipping point with a virus the the amount of it in your body and how your immune system copes, so it’s possible that long term exposure has weakened your resistance. I had a virus in 2...

@steveadams Looking forward to your new videos. You should make one about your Covid experience as there are still lots of Covid deniers out there.

@boo You had better stock up on green paint cause after COP26 in Glasgow the new colour will be 50 shades of green.
