We don't need Covid 19 for this. In 2018 3.1 million children died from undernutrition. 2018 was not an anomalous year for global passivity allowng millions of kids to die. It is the norm. But let's get animated about Covid instead... Proportionality of response. Selective focus by media.
JK2006	OK Hedda we all know very little about this virus but, like flu, we are working on a vaccine and, like flu, it demanded common sense precautions not belief in the media hype. By over reacting to the hype, this has had far more disastrous consequences than the virus itself. Of course it's not a hoax but neither is it a plague. Australia has been virtually untouched - compare the number of deaths connected to it to other causes. And Indonesia - half as many cases as the UK so far and a quarter as many deaths. We know you adore the media - don't we all? But don't allow yourself to be fooled by it.
hedda	so still cherry-picking which tabloid tale to believe and which doctor or professor? Despite the fact the overwhelming majority of doctors & nurses around the world (all those 100,000s in hospitals worldwide dealing with Covid) saying something different (of course they could all be wrong but they are at the "coal face" so one expects they have first hand experience). This is the world we live in today : the vast majority of "experts" say one thing but a soul "expert" (who may very well be right not that any of us know) says something else and because it confirms your own amateur beliefs it's taken as gospel. And the fact that sole professor says something and the Daily Mail published it ..therefore it must have value. Colour me skeptical and not at all a tiny bit cynical that even health professionals like some time in the spotlight as well. ## he also wrong. Children are dying from this virus which none of us yet know how it may mutate just as the Influenza continually mutates into deadlier strands. We have no idea of how Covid affects and victim afterwards including children. After all- it's sent Donald Trump MAD and he's a Superman.

Most excited to start "Piranesi" by Susanna Clarke who wrote the brilliant "Dr Strange and Mr Norrell" years ago; but has released nothing since. I don't have time to read about wine but do find time to drink it! I can picture you in Hugh Hefner style PJ's, smoking a pipe, reading a novel and tell your partner to shush after she/he has filled your wine glass..
