Bumped into a neighbour at the shops (I have lived here for nearly 60 years). "Did you know Norman died?". "No; when?". "New Year's Eve. Bloody Covid". "How old was he?". "97". Just shows how even intelligent people readily accept media hype, when it's not important or doesn't directly affect you or someone close. Norman may well have had Covid when he died. Or it could have been flu or a cold or a cut finger. But we assume, as media tells us, it's Covid - the killer plague. I know what carried Norman off. Old Age.

97 a good age.

I suppose it depends if Norman died in his sleep and happened to be covid positive, or died in horrible pain gasping for breath?

What depends on that Honey?
My dad and sister had to help nurses hold my gran down in her last moments. She was a formidable woman who would not let go. Way before Covid. She was in her 90s. What is so special about Covid? Dying can be messy. With or without Covid.
