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. |

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. |

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).

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. |

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. |

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. |
