Wonder if this link with tobacco is proven if this explains the gender differences seen in COVID serious cases - globally 40% of men smoke compared to 9% women

Quite possibly, mate.

If we just use obesity as a proxy for overall health, then more men are overweight/obese than women.

Also men tend to be less good at following simple hygeine rules like... Wash You Hands.

I'm amazed sometimes at some posters utter contempt for fellow citizens and the enthusiastic embracing of exterminating the populace.

That my friend is a good sentence but it works both ways. The people that are queuing up 20 deep or squashed in on the tube are guilty of the exact same contempt. Whereas posters here just want something enforced to stop this stupidity, those people are actively going about killing fellow citizens. They may not know it, they might not actively want to, but they are nonetheless.

This is so dumb.

Who will do the shooting? You recognise that asking soldiers or law enforcement to shoot their own people for no good reason is what causes civil wars, yes? SO you're going to ask some squaddies to start murdering their fellow citizens for going for a walk? Could they not just order them home instead?

I was on the North Wales News forum yesterday where an ex-squaddie (his words) would happily use the butt of his rifle on a ‘Cheshire Toff’ or ‘Cocky Scouser’. It was easier for me to just delete the app than to get into a war of words.

People have not been told they can't leave their homes. If that's what needs to happen then maybe people should be told?

What if all of those people on the tube are heading into work because they dont have the ability to work from home and their employers have ordered them in?
