COVID-19: Regular exercise may cut COVID-19 death risk by a third, major study finds

Regular exercise reduces the chances of dying from infectious diseases such as COVID-19 by...

Take the ONS stats about 27% of reported covid deaths not actually being due to but with covid then add the exercise study etc !!. 
The money, industry and impetus behind Covid has a momentum all of its own right now that bears zero relationship to actual risk anymore. Sadly the news about the young people most effected in the jobs market being the least vulnerable by a huge margin to covid was all too predictable.

Pipe dream. There’s only 1 solution to climate change and no amount of summits will change that

You're right of course, we the human plague of parasites, are the problem. How can we ever action the solution to that though? It's an ethical minefield; trying to reduce or even limit our population. Sure, we could try to enforce contraception in third world countries, but I don't think that would help much. Most of the damage is done by or driven by us in first world countries, (with stable or even declining populations).

 

Surely we ought to at least mitigate the effects of our presence on the planet. The basic problem is exacerbated by the way we live our lives, our massive overconsumption of everything for instance.

 

Maybe it's just me, but I feel pretty depressed about the grim state that the world will be in when my son grows up, if we sit back and do nothing to try to improve the current trajectory.

You couldn't make it up, yet the Tories are more popular than ever,  in the poles... I think the vaccine gives short term memory loss.

Pity we got one that only affects 00.02% of the population and on average kills those older than the average age of death. 🤷‍♂️
