Freelance journalist Eoin Butler writes a wonderful piece in The Irish Times Weekend Review.
It’s a personal account of his working as a Covid vaccine volunteer at the Citywest Hotel.
It’s funny, it’s real, it’s a great read. But most of all it highlights the inherent goodness of human beings.
Even the ransomware attack did not dampen spirits.
“We had so many people working that day, of different ages, genders, sexual orientations, from different professional and cultural backgrounds.
"There were so many stress points where the system could have fractured. Someone could have snapped. Someone could have lost their temper. Someone could have been rude to one of our colleagues. But it never happened.”
And then there’d this: "After a whole day of processing thousands of 52-year-olds, you become so attuned that if a 51-year-old dared sneak in, you’d spot him across the car park before he even got out of his car."
Brilliant.
