You do not know,

exactly what will happen.
Indeed, by this point

Covid Infections Discovered To Cause Increasing Risk Of Long Term Illness With Each Subsequent Infection
I have been isolating for 5 years and 2 weeks now. Haven't been symptomatically sick, nor gone into a shop, business or office. Have not allowed any visitors.
I can pretty safely say that I've not hurt anyone, and that is the only thing that matters.

A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food.

So when mass shootings of average people and school children occurs, it's all "there's nothing we can do, these things just happen" but when a CEO gets shot, we need a special hotline, new safety protocols, and to lock up housewives over frustrated phone conversations.
Got it.
Got it.
