Was this used to save her life.

Yet still the bleating masses say we will be like Italy next week or the week after that etc etc etc. it’s normal to be scared but everyone has lost their minds over this.

15 have died in road crashes 5 from suicide 25 from natural causes It’s all relative, isn’t it.

😢😢😢

How many under 70? Just asking 🤔 I'm pretty sure we have hundreds a day of deaths from people over 70 caused from bad health and just being old...and we are focused on 16 people who died from COVID 19 in 4 weeks 🤔 that's right these headlines sell news... FFS

Still not huge, what happened to the pending disaster, still coming? Goalposts keep moving.
