There are many things that I dislike about social media, but the one thing that is getting to me at the moment is the amount of people creating posts and tweets asking if anyone knows anybody who has died as a result of coronavirus. These posts and tweets were not created to ask a genuine question, they have been created to try and prove that their governments are lying to them and that nobody dies from it.

While the survival rate is high there ARE people dying from this virus, yes the people dying also have underlying health issues, but it is still taking lives.

I know of several people who have contracted the viruses, and I personally know of at least two people who have died from the virus.

I was listening to some Chas & Dave songs on YouTube and one of their Top Of The Pops appearances of ‘Gertcha’ came on and I remember them saying that when they did this song they were told not to say “Cow” as the BBC considered it a swear word.

That’s right, back in 1979 the BBC considered the word “cow” as offensive.
