We've noticed this as well.

I'm not a smoker, but caught Covid in November. My other half smokes like a chimney but didn't catch it from me, despite not isolating from each other indoors. Her sister and husband are also heavy smokers and neither have caught it (to date) despite working in the NHS and a care home.

Personally, I hate smoking and what it inevitably seems to do to people who do. But it is odd how it all went so quiet on that story.

I can see a bit of resistance to being able to get 100 Marlborough Gold on prescription, mind.

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

Seems to do to some people I would say. Lots live perfectly normal lives and then just...... die.

More likely, there's going to be a State banquet soon and that's the second course.........

This is from the BBC -

Javid says it is important to point out that around 40% of people with Covid in hospital are there not because they have Covid, but have tested positive after being admitted.

In that case the NHS ought to take more precautions to stop people catching it whilst under their care. Pubs manage to do it.

In my view that's never been possible long term....and the latest variant makes a mockery of all attempts to try otherwise.

We are seeing herd immunity in action despite all the pointless attempts to stop it.....Even the government are recognising it now.
