One of the perils of having no social media is only just finding out a soft play centre for kids refused to close and quoted the Magna Carta to the police that came to shut down his premises. I hope he turns up to court in full armour with his banner men the clown

Actually I have a framed copy of the Magna Carta, should have put it up in the pub ffs......

No.

More so , if those who died were imprisoned for crimes that made them a little bit evil, then noone should care about that.

A petty dealer or thief shouldn't be dying from it but anything below the line why care?

Hence the morality

What a grim view of the world

Between the mental health impacts of lockdowns, isolation and the apparent impacts on mental health of the virus itself I really hope there are more resources devoted to it in the coming months.

One in five COVID-19 patients develop mental illness within 90 days - study

Many COVID-19 survivors are likely to be at greater risk of developing mental illness, psychiatrists said on Monday, after a large study found 20% of those infected with the coronavirus are diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder within 90 days.

Anxiety, depression and insomnia were most common among recovered COVID-19 patients in the study who developed mental health problems. The researchers from Britain’s Oxford University also found significantly higher risks of dementia, a brain impairment condition.

“People have been worried that COVID-19 survivors will be at greater risk of mental health problems, and our findings ... show this to be likely,” said Paul Harrison, a professor of psychiatry at Oxford. Doctors and scientists around the world urgently need to investigate the causes and identify new treatments for mental illness after COVID-19, Harrison said.

It will be interesting to see the other vaccine results start to come out here shortly. If we get one or two more with similar efficacy results, the timeline could accelerate.

I also wonder if at some point you’ll have to be required to carry proof of vaccination to be admitted to large gatherings like sporting events. Surveys have shown millions won’t get a vaccine, even if proven safe and offered for free.

You’ve been having 8 tests per day since 2007.
