    I'm not just talking about suicides. That is just one example of the devastating impacts of lockdown on the most vulnerable in society.

    It is becoming more obvious that the plan is a mixture of vaccination and heard immunity and become much like the Flu with an annual jab for those over 50 and the rest left to fend for themselves with an annual death rate simular to the Flu. The combination of those vaccinated and those choosing not to be vaccinated catching the virus will provide a herd like protection for most eventually,

    the tweet you quoted with no added comment was talking about suicide and used the sad deaths of children for a purely political point with nothing to back it up. So it looks like the person and those sharing it are using those deaths to score points

    I couldn't care less who tweeted it or what their motive was. The mere words of that tweet however are what I agree with.

    What are you agreeing with? Are you suggesting that someone how the current politicans and journalists are responsible for the suicides even though there is no current evidence that it has changed significantly, if at all, from pre COVID? The article is playing with none connected stats.

    That seems to be the plan at the moment.

    Think you're bang on.

    Apart from lowering the age where people can get regularly vaccinated from the 50 you suggest...what else would be a realistic long term plan though?

    How is that scaremongering? It is reporting the fact that someone who mocked the vaccine, refused to take it and instead trusted in his fairy tale God to protect him, subsequently died from Covid. It's a factual story.

    It's a random nobody from another country, it's only made the news because it fits the narrative.

    Well it's taken a week from I'm going to continue to wear a mask to it becoming a free for all.

    I dumped the mask on Monday and Asda were keen to test the water and leave various things in place. 7 days later and the one way entrance system in Asda has been removed, most staff and shoppers not wearing masks and the place is a big free for all.

    So much for the 70% who want to retain masks going forward poll that were pushed out.

    I suppose the same was seen at Valley Parade yesterday. Those who want everyone to wear them clear have been shouting loudest in their echo chamber because I was always of the opinion these polls were garbage and more people are happy not wearing them that wearing them.

    It's very strange. A bit like India and somewhat like Holland it does seem to have genuinely hit a peak with no real reason for the plateau/drop

    It will be interesting to see if there's a proper explanation for it? Less kids testing because they're out of school was my initial thought but didn't seem to fit.

    I was in Morrisons earlier today. The number of people wearing masks was around 20%.

    Isn’t that the typical pattern for seasonal respiratory viruses?

    Yeah but the weather hasn't changed and similar things seem to be happening in both hemispheres?

    It's hardly an isolated case though, is it? I've seen quite a few similar articles in various places about people who were still claiming it's all a hoax as they were fighting for their final breath. Or, alternatively, vaccine refuseniks who were saved from death by intensive medical intervention assuring their fellow religious extremist doubters that it is, in fact deadly real and urging them to get jabbed.

    It was reported in the foreign news section of the BBC website. The bit where they talk about other countries. I suggest you stick to the home news sections if you don't want to read about people from abroad.

    It's just a shame they don't give the same attention to the pro vaccine people who have died from blood clots or heart issues from the vaccines isn't it?
