Wow, you know more people than I ever heard of who were touched by it in some way. Most did survive though, and the ones who didn't, did seem to have those preexisting problems & that really is what ultimately caused them to not pull thru. I feel bad that they ultimately lost the battle tho. Sad. You guys hang in there. I do not think from all I have read that your govt is being particularly honest about what's going on. This new strain, & that wasn't enough, now it's STRAINS EVERYWHERE! And a food shortage on the horizon!!! If there actually is a new one or 20, I don't think they are eve saying they are any worse, in mutations are generally much weaker and these are said to be too. If these things even exist!!! . . . and aren't actually just to frighten the population into re-joining the EU. That's more of what it all seems to be about. "We must re-join EU, or we're going to starve, because all countries are (allegedly) terrified to come to our ports, import anything to UK!" I DOUBT that. Here, we had people going back and forth to China during this travel ban even. Even delivering mail. So if it was true and not a fear tactic, the govt would not be terrorizing the people purposely like that. It is a real shame what is being done to this world. I am hoping and praying, because evil cannot prevail. JMHO of course. 🎄🎁🎅🌟 Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, whatever your preference is, and try to make the best of it.
