I think what may be different now is that the Indian variant is more serious for younger people than previous variants?
Is it really? A higher proportion of people in hospital are younger but that's because there are far less older people gettimg severely ill.
Not read anything to suggest the Indian variant is any more dangerous once you get it, just that's it's more contagious

I have some quite strong feelings regarding olives
Sign me up! Bloody awful things.

Seems that way, as regards hospitalisations and deaths in the UK so far (the picture from India is murkier). But, if we're going to let the virus take hold in the younger population, because the older are now protected from death or serious illness by vaccines, I'd like there to be more known about the morbidity risk for those still not vaccinated. This is for the other thread though... isn't it...
What am I putting on these yellow cards about olives? How many people choke to death on olive stones pits every year? Give me the worldwide figure to press home the scale of the risk...
Do you know that I'm actually quite tempted to knock up some placards which graphically express my dislike of olives.
Then we could all get together and infiltrate an anti-vax rally with violent denouncements of the devils green and black chug-nuts.
It's my right as a citizen of a free country. I could probably get Desmand Swayne to table an amendment in parliament proposing that every olive must be made into oil

Theres surely got to be some links to terrorism and organised crime. We'll start with that.
