Removing men from women’s single-sex spaces might not be the only answer to this epidemic, but it’s an obvious one.

And in response to headlines like "there is no need for masks", here is the 1 minutes from my interview where I discuss basic preventative measures (including masks!).
Also note that NHS stats like A&E and Ambulance waits are lower than same time 3 years ago, even with earlier flu wave.

This is another reason why I’m so loud.
We have no clue yet how many people Russia has murdered around the world.
They’ve been subjecting multiple countries to hybrid warfare for years.

Before COVID 2019, Russia & far-right were pushing vaccination disinformation about measles. Patterns are undeniable. www.bbc.com/news/world-u...
Russia trolls 'spreading vaccination misinformation' to create discord
Troll accounts that tried to influence the US election also tweeted about vaccines, a study says.

So, a dead fetus should have the right to murder the woman carrying the fetus? But the woman doesn't have the right to remove the dead fetus that will give her sepsis & toxic shock syndrome and will kill her? Right wingers are sick and maniacal!
This week, Senate Republicans gave LIFETIME judicial appointments to more anti-abortion fanatics who support fetal personhood—the dangerous idea that a fetus should have the same rights as a pregnant woman.
They're hoping you don't notice. I won’t let this fly under the radar.

I've just realised that what Trump is doing to the USA people seems akin to psychological and physical abuse. The actions of ICE is just one of the physical abuse. The changes to visa rules that apply to long-standing allied amounts to psychological abuse.

In the past UK based folk have gone over to the states to help the Democrats. Now those of us so way inclined would be denied entry, I suspect because of the new visa rules.

UK gets 5th most claims, falling to 17th/29 per capita. We got 1/10 of claims just below share (13%) of the UK/EU aggregate population. If UK claims continue to rise, the "take our fair share" or "more than" may become true

This is TRUE. The Trump admin demands YOUR DNA before granting you a tourist visa.
My international friends: Just stay away from the USA.
Watch the World Cup and Olympics on TV, where there's far less chance of being black-bagged and disappeared to CECOT or "Alligator Alcatraz" by Trump's goons.
