I had WE down as a number of things but I never realised he was a member of HF.

That surprised me.

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

Poor sentence construction for a pedant and it also has the added factor of not being true.

I hope your graphic description of your mother-in-law's last days
serves as a warning to others on just how awful this thing is, and, as a consequence, how seriously it needs to be taken.

I thought about your wife and kids when first reading your story and have the deepest sympathy for them. I hope they come to terms in time and treasure their memories.

I can understand you feeling pissed off but hope that too dissipates with time. I am no fan of this government but don't believe there is any kind of desire for more general "control". I just think we face an exceptional situation which demands an exceptional response. I too don't see vaccination as a heroic gesture, but rather as a common sense contribution that we can all make.

It is interesting, but how on earth you reach your conclusion beats me. It is simply arguing that the way the social media companies are filtering out misinformation is catching some things that are actually valuable and valid contributions to the debate. It calls for refinement, not abandonment.

(Taps desk waiting for when it’s time to reverse all of this)

The R rate in SA is dropping fast so the cases chart is levelling off at what hopefully is the top. Unfortunately we’ll have to wait to see that the elderly, clinically vulnerable, and the fatties aren’t ringing 999 or worse. It’s those who know they’re more at risk who don’t get vaccinated make me shake my head. Most other vaccinated who aren’t likely to suffer aren’t really the issue, but of course they show up in the numbers and the political parties are shying away from tackling or addressing where the unvaccinated numbers are a risk, and that’s while Starmer tries to appeal to the public he’s patriotic and getting vaccinated is the patriotic thing to do. There is a break in the thinking here, but I won’t say it just as the politicians won’t address some of the more at risk groups not interested in vaccination.
