Rich The length of time the Covid Inquiry is going to take is a scandal in itself, as is the cost. I live with someone who had a horribly close shave with severe Covid in early 2021 and it so nearly got them, they were very seriously ill. Despite that, I never even got Covid at all or any symptoms despite it supposedly being so infectious, and never ever took any Covid tests. Maybe I had the symptomless version. It's mad to think you could it and die horribly or get it and not even know.

The low death rate story was very eye catching. I wonder if this is because so many extra older people were finished off a couple of years back during the pandemic that it's left a bit of a gap now, so that these people might have been passing now but have already departed.
JK2006 I had several intelligent friends who could not believe I was ANTI-VAX. I tried to explain I wasn't (I've had nine jabs now). I was just pro-choice in vaccination and anti-media hype spreading panic and sheep-like obedience by leaders to that hype. FAR too complicated for today's simplistic brains.
Wyot It truly was a strange illness.

I think it held a mirror up to general health, with obesity being a very significant factor (but I am aware not the only one).

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8444639/

There are headlines today reading the world population is heading for 50% obesity levels.

Long standing regulars will be relieved! that I am not going to re hash my views on Covid and lockdowns, but in summary I agree with JK that the lockdowns did more harm than good.

And dissertations should be written on the part the media played in it all.

But when a deadlier plague comes we are heading for serious population reduction because of our greed and lifestyles.
hedda So it seems Covid can affect al manner of people differently..some mildly and some really badly.

I visited a friend in a rest home 2 weeks ago after a Covid lockdown for 2 weeks..she had Covid.. and she's very fragile but she said she sort of breezed through it.

A truly odd thing and unlike most other illnesses.
JK2006 I had it (I think - before tests) and it was like mild flu. Twice. Different people were affected in different ways. You survived. The vast majority did. The main casualties were the elderly and smokers - past and present. Long Covid continues to affect us all. But it was NOT the Killer Plague hyped by media.
