Progress means getting nearer to the place you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turn, then to go forward does not get you any nearer.

If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road: and in that case the man who turns back sooner is the most progressive man.

Just a heads up .... the most recent viral panels that we're sending off are positive for SEASONAL coronavirus. This is not to be confused with the Covid-19 virus responsible for the pandemic.

Rhinoviruses, which include more than 100 serotypes, are the most common viruses associated with cold symptoms and collectively cause 30 to 50 percent of colds. Coronaviruses cause about 10 to 15 percent of common colds. Viruses with marked seasonal variation, such as influenza and parainfluenza, typically cause more systemic symptoms than other cold viruses; however, they can rarely also cause illnesses similar to the common cold. Influenza virus causes about 5 to 15 percent of colds, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and parainfluenza virus are each responsible for about 5 percent.
