If only we had a decent opposition with a semblance of a backbone.

The swings in that poll look very peculiar, albeit there is still a non Tory majority there (ish). If only we had a decent opposition with a semblance of a backbone.
Not sure what Starmer is up to, albeit I would trust him much more than Corbyn to a) have some semblance of plan that goes beyond the Labour membership and b) be able to plan for a long game. The whole Brexit deal thing was a poison chalice with which Labour could not win, in addition he's not being helped by having both sides continually taking a pop at him at every opportunity.

A friend who's been dismissive of lockdowns and of the virus in general is now laid up in hospital with pneumonia after he and his partner had Covid over Christmas, she recovered, he didn't. He's chocka full of steroids and IVs, if he doesn't improve he'll be moved to the ICU. People need to know that this isn't just 'the flu' and stop treating it like it is. He's fit and active, and currently in a bad way.

Nope, early 40s, fit as a fiddle, races karts. Luck of the draw, it seems.

Is anyone scared of this virus? To date I've been solely concerned about others.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

Only around 400 people in England, with no underlying conditions under the age of 60 have died. Whilst I’m not saying people shouldn’t be scared of it, it is very clear that it affects older people and those already ill worse than those who aren’t. If you are healthy and under 60, it is shit luck if it does make you very ill, but it can happen. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9090847/amp/Only-377-people-aged-60-no-underlying-health-conditions-died-Covid-UK.htmlhttps://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/news/13584329/377-covid-deaths-under-60-underlying-health-conditions/amp/

How many people under 60 don't know that they have underlying health issues though that they are living with until they contract something that triggers the issue. Let's face it, unless you are getting a regular MOT you can never be sure that there isn't something going on unknown.

Exactly - underlying conditions makes it sound like you have to have terminal cancer. The reality is a condition like asthma, that I suffer from at times, is such a condition that is included. 5.4 million people receive some kind of treatment for asthma.
