Sir, – "Queues at 6.30am: 'It's great to get a bit of normality'" (News , December 2nd) was the headline to Conor Pope's report from the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. A pitiable confirmation that we have lost all sense of what is or was normal. It's doubtful if any vaccine could remedy a conundrum of this magnitude. – Yours, etc,
MICHAEL GANNON,
Kilkenny.
