Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but lately as far as the media is concerned, there appears to be little wailing and crying/up in arms about the amount of people who are actually dying of Covid every 24 hours. The news outlets report it, but largely I suspect, the numbers are now just falling on deaf ears. Unbelievably sad for those affected, but the world continues to spin. It does appear that the Covid death rates have become 'normalised' in such a way as everyone should now as with the annual flu deaths (and heart attack deaths which run at about 160,000 a year in the U.K), just accept that this is the way it is. Diabetes is currently an absolutely massive problem here in the U.K, but hey, who wants to talk about that!
At the end of the day I guess that even the media eventually get 'bored' and have to move onto something else. Clearly Afghanistan is the big news story at the moment and that will dominate the headlines for the foreseeable just as ISIS did and then that news story just quite literally 'went away'. That's rolling news for you. Big story, saturate the media let the populous suck it up and once everyone has had their fill, move on. Meanwhile, Covid will continue, deaths will continue and lots of folks will just try to carry on as normal. What I guess I'm saying is, eventually, the whole Covid situation will be completely 'normal' a part of life and death. Hard to swallow I know, but that's the way the world works.
By the way, I really do hope everyone is keeping safe. I've just had several close family members who though all double jabbed, all contracted Covid and were really very unwell for several days, but the jab clearly prevented them being hospitalised or worse. How did they get it? they went to a festival and mixed with thousands of people over a 4 day period. Not something I would personally choose to do.
Meanwhile, if it's offered, I'll happily take any booster vaccine. Let's see what happens.
