    I have always thought that you should joke about anything, even death. That belief became even stronger about 30 years ago. 
    My grandma died as she was visiting a hospital. They tried to revive her but didn't succeed. The doctor in charge however gave some young doctor an order to hit her with defibrillator again and again after she was gone to get more practice.They told that to us afterwards. 
    Suddenly my grandma came back. The doctors were stunned. They told that they had never seen somebody as dead as she was come back. It took a couple of days for her to become strong enough to be able to talk. The first thing she said was ask for a water. The nurse said that they couldn't give her water at the moment due to her medical condition. My grandma told the nurse, okay give me some booze then. The nurse was horrified. "We can't give you any alcohol". My grandma just started to laugh.
    When we came to see her my grandma told this story to us and we all started to laugh, loudly. The thing is my grandma never used alcohol. We laughed and laughed and people were horrified of our whole family that seemed to be a bunch of drunks.
    At that time I really realized that there is no situation you can't make a joke. Okay we properly offended others in the room and perhaps the nurse in question but there was no harm intended against anyone and if somebody got offended I think that they should be able to live with it.

    I hate the current atmosphere towards humor. You can't say or do anything without someone crying about it. The craziest thing is that now people are expected to apologize jokes in comedies that are 30-70 years old.

    Cancelled my Sky Sub a few months ago, I miss the odd movie and the sport but not enough to justify the cost especially as the 'old' Soccer Saturday crew got kicked off the show a while back.
    Recently cancelled the TV licence as well.  Apart from adding to the 1.7m cancellations this year to make a statement we barely watched it anyway - so haven't missed it.
    So long as I don't watch live TV or iPlayer I get almost everything I need on Amazon Prime, DIsney+ and Netflix.  Much happier ?

    We drove for 90 minutes for our weekly visit to my aging mother, only to find the nursing home closed because someone met someone who tested positive for Covid.  On the way back a car spat a large stone into our front windshield, breaking it and this is the first thing i read when getting home.

    And pro vaxers will will claim it’s not the vaccines
    the sensible in the middle people will believe it really needs looking into , if it wasn’t happening before vaccines and it’s happing to age groups not normally recorded as at risk from covid then surely going tribal and just dismissing it is not the right way to go ,
    personally in think the move to mass vaccination of those not at risk from covid could be problematic but it needs smarter people than me to properly research what’s going on

    You don't shut down debate because some people think it should no longer be debated. 
    You would have been quite happy shutting down the debate on the virus coming from a Chinese Lab 2 years a go. So would all of social media. Actively banning posts stating the above. Dangerous. Extreme.

    Rooney:
    "I've just come off the phone with them (administrators) five mins ago. Where we are at, there is no big update I can give you.
    There will be no players leaving.
    They have reassured me Tom Lawrence will not be going and that is pleasing because he is a player I want to keep.
    Everton approached my agent and asked me to interview for the vacant job which I turned down. I have a job here I am doing, which is an important job to me and that means me getting the team ready for Sunday."

    Kicking the can a month down the road gives the EFL exactly what they want. “Oh look at us, we’re compassionate, we’ve given them another month”, then let the noise created over the past week the chance to die down, and then kill us quietly in a months time.

    I think you've  completely missed the point of my post and to be honest I found your reply a little snarky.
    I posted it for people with an open mind and Interest in the subject for their consideration with a link to the video, should they care to watch it.
    I drew no conclusions just posted the main points from the video as I saw them.
    Of the 17k+ people that unfortunately died they, on average died at or around the average life expectancy for a UK citizen.
    I have no axe to grind on the subject I try to follow the data from reports and research on the subject, now being in an extremely high risk group to any infection I have a vested interest in it.
