Why we are where we are.

"You’re unlikely to be killed by the coronavirus. Yes, the disease is unpleasant; and, yes, in some circumstances, it can cause complications that lead to fatalities."

Why we are where we are.

"I'm going to go out on a limb and predict there will be no 'second spike' - not now, and not in autumn either. The virus has melted into thin air."

Why we are where we are.

"Corona deaths are down to a handful a day out of a population of 66 million. Basically, I have more chance of marrying Brad Pitt than you have of dying from Covid19."

Person who back in September ridiculed predictions of >200 deaths a day as 'plague of locusts' is fine with 548 daily deaths.
"I do not myself regard Covid as a good enough reason to be vaccinated."

@ClarkeMicah ImageImage
