You are not allowed to say that!
It's about washing hands to Happy Birthday, wearing gimp masks and saving the NHS.

Essentially it was three hours saying one thing - dying is awful for many people, not only the deads.
We could make shows repeating this again and again - cancer; heart attacks; obesity; war.
The reason Mr Bates was som good was that it told a similar story better, with more shades of grey.

Well Breathtaking is over and I found it frighteningly one dimensional - rather like the entire panicdemic was. Over reacting - over simplification - dreadful media exaggeration and useless global governments (except Sweden).
The two aspects that shocked me most were the sending Covid people into care homes and AZ not testing the vaccine on a single over 60 person. Frightening.
