The virus is merely the proximate cause of their death, while the social isolation is the higher level, distal cause.
    True. Also, the "Covid only" cause of death was around 6% overall. Well over 90% had one or multiple comorbidities like diabetes, obesity, hypertension etc.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    My maternal grandmother was in such a state in 2019. She was bed-ridden, suffering from dementia, incontinent, etc. We tried putting her in a nursing home and soon discovered that it was a nightmare, and this was before the lunacy of COVID. So we brought her home and cared for her there. I cannot imagine how much sooner she would have died if we had simply locked her away in some room with little to no human contact or interaction for weeks or months.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    Gee I never knew were had some collective health as a Nation like the Planet Gaia, or is this more guesswork from questionable academics?
