I wouldn't say they've sacrificed, that gives the sense of it being done willingly.

The fools who attend the marches aren't particularly young as far as i can tell but they make up a minute percentage of the population.

Based on my eyes over the course of this pandemic it has been overwhelming the young generation who have not been wearing masks, been meeting in large groups throughout and have paid little heed to the rules and guidelines.

Oldies of now would have done the exact same, had this pandemic occured in 1970s mate.

Hospital figures - 16 deaths were announced today, nothing to compare from yesterday but it is up 7 on last Monday. 7 deaths were in English hospitals, again nothing to compare from yesterday but it is up 2 on last week. The 7 day rolling average rises to an even 61

All settings - for the 28 day cut off, 24 deaths were announced today, down 41 on yesterday and up 10 on last Monday. The 7 day rolling average rises to 81.57

For the 60 day cut off, 26 deaths were announced today, down 43 on yesterday and up 12 on last Monday. The 7 day rolling average rises to an even 88

Compared to how badly some people seem to be affected, it’s a relatively minor thing.

It seems to be quite common in the running / cycling community, as a good proportion of people struggle to get back to their pre virus levels.

Shortness of breath and having to work harder, seems to be the common dominator.

Yeah saw Hamilton was absolutely breathless after his race yesterday and was struggling to do the interview, sad to see. Hope you get better mate.

Most people dying while testing positive for covid are fully vaccinated sounds scary this.. in the category of questions unanswered how sick with covid were they? 97 year old Doris came in to hospital after having a stroke and a routine hospital test came back positive for covid unfortunately she died.. conclusion vaccines are not working let's do up a scaremongering headline and give a fleeting mention as to how it's not that bad.

Why most people who now die with Covid in England have had a vaccination | David Spiegelhalter and Anthony Masters

Don’t think of this as a bad sign, it’s exactly what’s expected from an effective but imperfect jab

"But the risk of dying from Covid-19 is extraordinarily dependent on age: it halves for each six to seven year age gap. This means that someone aged 80 who is fully vaccinated essentially takes on the risk of an unvaccinated person of around 50 – much lower, but still not nothing, and so we can expect some deaths."

This ^

The vaccines work, exceptionally well in fact.

I completely agree.

Even the oldies are just experienced young scum.

Just learned that a guy i went to college with has died from covid age 42. As about as fit as you can get. Cross fit/rock climber/body builder... Refused to get the vaccine... Died after 4 weeks in hospital. Shocking.

My home state of Arkansas had its single highest one day increase in hospitalizations and surpassed the highest ICU bed occupancy.

Testing an entire city of 11 million people because they've found 7 positive cases. Yea ok China that's believable. I'd be very surprised if China haven't had 10s of millions of infections.
