This is why covid is NOT just like a cold
When people post on SL about their concern re covid there’s at least four people who regularly belittle their fears. They argue that: it’s nothing more than a cold- they’re all ill with something else - people should just get on with their lives - there’s no point in testing, - the figures are all deliberately inflated to scare us. In effect they are suggesting that those of us who have concerns are either stupid, or sheep. But the latest figures quoted widely should concern us all. The prevalence is higher than ever, hospital admissions are sky rocketing and the deaths are creeping ever upwards.
