I'd just like to go back to, you have a bit of flu for a couple of days or so, and then you go back to work when you feel better, it was much simpler in the old World.
IF you have symptoms you should really get a PCR test not everyone loses their sense of smell or gets a cough ...PCRs are more or less 100 per cent you have to book online at your local test centre

You post Pro Covid, pro vacancie, pro government, pro big company, pro mainstream media stuff all day long. All I do is share an alternative view to yours. I like to look out for the little people, the ones without much of a voice or platform.

Don't get so wound up about it. This is what freedom of speech is all about. I have most of the forum against me on this, I get called all sorts of names but I don't cry about it I just Soldier on anyway, because they're name calling inspires me on to do so.

Definitely not nothing wrong in saying that, but they probably think the same about the mainstream.

I think people obsessing over Harry and Meghan whilst people's Worlds are being torn apart are odd, but I let them get on with it. Each to their own. I find people just accepting the President of the United States being censored as being normal is odd, I think people just accepting having their freedoms taken away is scarey. I don't think what's happened in the past two years is normal. It's definitely not how life should be. Some people just accept it and some people say "no, this isn't right"

138,852 Total UK Deaths of Covid-19

138,852 deaths. so let's take into account that all those people who died had family members, possibly husbands, wife's, parents, grandparents, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, cousins, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews. Then they all had friends. So you could probably times that 138,852 by between 10-20, which would take you between 1-2 million people in mourning, just in the UK just from Covid. Then how many more are in mourning from people who died from something other than Covid? I don't see it where I live and I live in a big city.

You don't see what? People mourning? What do you think people do when they mourn? Wail in the streets for all to see? Shout about it? People handle grief in a multitude of ways.....you can't always "see" it, even in a big city

No, you talk to people, who talk to people who know people and you hear things.Then there's social media, where you talk to people, who talk to people, who know people. Then there's all the different areas of celebrity. Sports, music, TV presenters, actors, politicians ect. I don't hear that many claiming they know lots of people who have died of Covid. You hear from a few, but millions? Nowhere near.

How many of these millions have kicked up a stink about not being able to visit or see their dying friends or relatives? Again, a few, but millions, nowhere even close to that.

Well plenty of people ARE talking about it. I personally know of 4 people who have died of covid and in the last 6 months have lost 6 people from my life from other causes. I haven't really spoke about it, doesn't make them alive though

compared to 60 million people 140k people is a very small proportion, spread over 18+ months, so unless you have friends/ relatives that are predominately in the 65+ age group, you may well not have heard of anyone who died from it. That doesn't mean people haven't died. It's pretty basic stuff Alf

With an over 99% recovery rate from the virus for most people, I'd say that number is bigger than a small proportion.

Everyone now seems to have this really bad cold thats not a cold or flu but also not covid and I see much stress about it

I saw it described as the moon variant the other day. Which was rather amusing.

(Edit. I realise people have died and its not really something to joke about. I know people who have died too. But it seems...worrying for worryings sake at this stage. This cold thing. Yeah, we get colds. They are not covid. So why stress. We also wont ever be rid of covid either, if thats a goal.)

I think that's what I must have, I'll find out later if my test tells me that I have Covid. If it does, I'm gonna claim it's moon. It's been a while since I pulled a moon.
