    It’s part of a larger effort by the guardian to make everyone terrified of a mild virus.

      mild virus.

      My ignorant internet friend. 3 million dead people would disagree..

      All the science is there. All the evidence that isolating works is there. All the evidence that COVID is killing people, especially the vulnerable, is there. What part of this don’t you get? The only reason COVID is weaker now is precisely because people isolated and let those strains die out.

      But because you’re mildly inconvenienced, it’s somehow a massive conspiracy. Stop being a drone and read up on it. Use your head and take things seriously. It’s so exhausting to convince people their ignorance will literally kill people.

        I’m so bored of people like you. Like you say, COVID is weaker, yet you’re linking the death toll from when it was actually a serious problem as though that applies today in equal measure.

        Most people have moved on with their lives.

      Do you also believe the earth is either flat or hollow or that dinosaurs didn’t exist or that giants used to roam the earth? Cos wow this is one of the dumbest threads I’ve ever read.

      “The guardian” 😂😂😂

      I can’t even bring myself to ask you why they would want to do that and what benefit it gives them because I know the answer is going to be mind-bogglingly stupid.

        Nice strawman buddy.

        Guardian opinion pieces are basically the left wing equivalent of Daily Mail clickbait.

        It’s actually pretty simple. Fear = engagement= clicks = money.

        It’s funny how the literal NHS is less bothered than the guardian. Doest it make you pause for thought?

  As much a load of toss now as “project fear” nonsense always is. Do your part and stop whining.
