How about 'Death BY covid'? Maybe not as easy in terms of collection but certainly more practical in terms of 'being true'

Everybody would prefer to know 'death by covid' but what does it mean and how do we measure it?

Of the many mistakes and misjudgements by the government,lifting the mandatory use of masks in certain circumstances ranks highly.

A crazy and unnecessary move which is causing confusion and consternation to the public at large.

This is a weak government that has bowed to the demands of the reckless lobbiers who put freedom above all else.

what are you on? Lobbiers?? oh you mean the vast majority who want to see these farcical masks and restrictions removed?

this freedom and right to live is what runs the country its called the economy and its teetering right now.

fine all those that are scared and fearful stay in wear your masks to bed if you like but check under the bed before sleep in case the bogey covid man is there?

And if course the recent polling saw 70 plus per cent say they were going to continue to use a mask in appropriate circumstances.

This is not a serious post so apologies to the humourless in advance. Going through a box of kids stuff saved by my late mother I noted a Lone Ranger Face Mask, as this only covers the eyes I will resist it’s usage. 😉

That fine and they can if they want do that but it also follows that people who don't want to can also not wear one. Did that polling also ask if those who will carry on wearing one had been vaccinated or not? It's also notable that even though the law still stands at the moment and despite those 70%+ all wearing them the infection rate has still increased rapidly over the past few weeks.

suppose it depends on who the pollsters asked, selective probably?

[butlers 259]

The polling was by Ipsos.

I think they asked a cross section of human beings.

We could all do worse than listen to Prof. Calum Semple, who broke down all the risks on TV this morning.

The over 50s, the under 50s, and the chances at developing lung, heart, liver, kidney problems.

Very sobering.

Seems odd though that out of a sample of 1,025 they have also included 16 year children as adults.
