The last thing I read it seemed to have been accepted it came from a bat and that might have escaped from the Wuhan laboratory, but Chinese authorities are basically obstructing an independent investigation so we will never find out what really happened.

Whatever else ,I think it has been shown that covid is more than just 'a minor issue like a bit of flu'.
There will be all sorts of biological research being done in laboratories, who knows what deadly virus might escape accidentally.

Be careful of scam texts like this. If you need a Covid pass, you can access it through the NHS app.

What is the use of a pass, vaccination doesn't stop you spreading the virus does it ?! Or am I missing something?

One of the big hopes for vaccine rollout was that not only would it stop serious illness ( serious enough to need hospital treatment, where even if you did not have the virus you would catch it in hospital ) it would help stop the transmission of the virus, seems that hope was realised. People who have had the vaccine carry a much smaller viral load in nose and throat - and it is the number of virus in those areas that is important in passing virus to others.

I spend a lot of time at Willingham Woods and chat to a lot of people. There are regulars whose name I know and others that I don't. I have chatted to Mick many times over the last 4 years - he owned 5 or 6 bikes, I never saw them all but he had a Fireblade and a VTR1000 SP1 that I did see.

He died of covid yesterday. His wife, who I never met, had died 2 weeks earlier.

This is the first person that I actually knew that has passed away from the virus. RIP Mick.

I know a few people who have had the virus and recovered OK, but do not know anyone who has succumbed to it. About 4 years ago our neighbours son ( late 40's ) had double pneumonia and at one time they gave him 10% chance - only a medically induced coma and a real high-tech machine that purifies the blood etc ( similar to dialysis machine but much more expensive ) kept him alive, he has something similar to 'long covid' since, with reduced Kidney and brain functions etc and can no longer work.
