When they work out that more people over 90 tend to die after getting a paper cut (sepsis) or catching a common cold (pneumonia), perhaps it will dawn on government, media and gullibles that the older you are, the more likely you are to die. DOH!

While I'm on a moan; I've really been pissed off by the media thoughtlessly promoting their "great story" by interviewing tragic relatives and suffering but recovered Covid victims. It simply doesn't dawn on therm how hurtful this is to those relations of cancer corpses or heart attack, sepsis, pneumonia, suicide etc tragedies.

They must weep every time they witness some bloody NHS nurse or broken hearted grand daughter. "What about me?" they must howl inwardly. "Does my loss not matter just because cancer is not the current big story?".

Media - take a look at yourselves.

Yes there are now acceptable and unacceptable ways to die and the media is only interested in the unacceptable, because they have created the distinction.

A few months of vaccine will see C19 join the acceptable ways to die. The dust will settle and meanwhile the projected 200 000 lockdown deaths will be hard to find.

I do blame media as well. But it has been made so clear by the "crisis" how brain-drained most people are these days. Completely unable to think laterally, or for themselves.

Are attention sapping mobile phones and social media the reasons?
