Things are getting back 'to normal'. Unless you live in Ukraine where they're not.

The pandemic is apparently over. The vaccinations did the trick, along with a seemingly less deadly variant. Now the folk who took against the Covid vaccination are saying there's an increase in healthy people dying, usually at the football. Not the rugby, or tennis, just the football. 'It never happened before' they say. It clearly did, the husband has had to do CPR at least twice at matches pre pandemic, and there's #12aweek too. It may be on the up or it may be that it wasn't on people's radar before but as the parent of a child with CHD it's always on your radar. 

The thing that's irritated me throughout the whole debacle is people posting data with no context and lauding it as fact when most often it doesn't mean what they think it means but it fits the agenda. Post your opinion by all means but stop sending prayers for the bloke who collapsed at the Accrington Stanley game (who are they?) when he's just fell asleep because he's had too many pints and the match is boring as hell. He didn't have a Covid vax related cardiac arrest, as much as you'd like him to.

Which brings me to Ukraine. Putin, God love him (someone has to), thinks the whole world will believe his 'military operations' line if he repeats it often enough. We won't. You're a war monger-er Vlad and a war criminal too. The whole world knows it.
