I had to chuckle. The first two people in the UK to get the
Pfizer vaccine today were 90 year-old Margaret Keenan, and 81

The Metro newspaper tweeted a picture of him with the caption “The Taming of the Flu.” One person on social media asked if Keenan was patient 1A, then was Shakespeare “Patient 2B or not 2B?” Another chimed in with “The Two Gentlemen of Corona.”
