Not surprisingly the main focus has been on the number of deaths caused by C19, but often overlooked are the long-term impacts that a surprisingly large number of people (up to 15% of those with symptoms) suffer and these do not seem to be age-related: brain damage, breathing, kidneys, heart, blood clotting and more. This is because, as we know, C19 uses a spike protein on its surface to latch onto cells’ ACE2 receptors. We still don't know enough about this virus but it is clear that it is a nasty one, far nastier than flu (for which there is a vaccine of course). If you are fully aware of the risks you are taking and that you expose others to then go ahead but don't scoff at those with a more prudent view.
BS because that would mean thousands would be suffering from it in UK and millions worldwide.

We know diddly squat about the virus and the UK Govt scientific experts are so full of BS that all they are doing is guessing. When wrong as they are they claim it has mutated as a catch all to get them out of their incompetence.
