The Moaning of Death: Liveline 23/9 forward

It's just about one of the most infectious diseases we have ever known, and so very serious in that it at minimum incapacitates those who actually become ill from them for a fair while and thus renders them unable to work & contribute to the economy or work in healthcare; also it is deadly for a smaller number of people who could have up to 10 or more years of decent life left in them and would not have otherwise succumbed from influenza or other maladies their creaking bodies might have otherwise sustained.

It's a focking horrible virus that has us by the balls one way or another, until we hopefully get a viable effective treatment or vaccine or both. It will diminish the economy no matter what tack we take, but we really should try as best as possible to keep down deaths as all lives are precious. Generating philosophy to reinforce and educate our mental resilience by genuine folk of experience and wisdom, and some bloody light relief and entertainment to boot, is the best that could be done for us all to help us through.
