    Don't know, it was there and I thought it appropriate. Think the Mods should make it permanent, much more pleasant emoji that the Abhorrent one.

    It might also apply to how could it get in un-dedected? If the cases are quarantined, and all arrivals are tested, sometimes it just boils down to faith. I guess there is always the chance, but living a life hiding and in fear, isn't living to me. Death rates are going down, treatments are going up. We all get sick at some point.

    I saw the film too, but you knew he was there because of things moving, the objects weren't invisible. And you could hear him talking and laughing.

    I also would like a 'commiseration' (sort of 'sorry to hear that') one but was told I need to find a suitable icon - no idea how to do that.

    I don't like using 'Like' when someone has a bad experience or reports a passing.

    Agree with your first point quoted here. That is happening because the virus was taken seriously by governments - effective treatments don't arise from the man in the street.

    On the second point, trying to avoid opening the control v no control debate (as I have said many times, we really do not know the outcomes (even now)), it is not 'being sick' but 'being sick with what'. The perspective is related to your own situation: age/obese/existing illness (usually observable) and the generally unobservable immunity/immune response (possibly negative) - so each person has to make choices based on their own perceived risk but also to help prevent spread to others (an individual and societal approach).

    Yesterday upon the stairs I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today! I wish to hell he'd go away.

    One solution would be to quarantine those type of people at a Holiday Inn Express. Hopefully when they check out they will be smarter.

    For these hallucinating jesters I would recommend quarantine at a heavily guarded psychiatric clinic instead.
