There's a lot of sheer unpleasantness on this interesting thread which is very off-putting for members; I really hope that people casually looking at the forum with a thought of joining aren’t put off. Please reconsider if you’re about to be offensive. This is the norm for all forms of social media, the internet offers a platform for anyone to show their worst side safe in the knowledge that for the most part you can get away with saying whatever you want. So I understand, but as I choose carefully the few forums that I participate in, I don’t often see such unpleasantness. This forum has tended to be reasonably well-mannered and pretty friendly, like the Mysty/ATS’s forum. I find the unpleasantness on this threads such as this boring and juvenile.

It is of course sometimes interesting and informative to look at different points of view, and an hour isn't that long really especially when you look at the number of people participating in word games.

Scotland now has more people in hospital with covid than it had at the peak of the pandemic, not a good sign.

I'm not surprised given that one in 20 people in the UK currently are Covid positive, everybody is tested in hospital, 1/20th of the total numbers in hospital is probably far higher than the numbers that were admitted for ICU treatment for Covid at the peak.
Likewise one in 20 deaths of whatever the cause, mostly old age will be Covid positive and recorded as such.

Not looking too good in France neither!
France 20/03/2022 New Confirmed Cases: 81,283 7 Day Average: 120,421
UK 20/03/2022 New Confirmed Cases: 46,226 7 Day Average: 38,165

In the UK media Covid has, naturally, taken second place to Ukraine. Add to that the total relaxation of social mitigation and the protection against serious disease from vaccination and you'd be forgiven thinking the Pandemic was over. Certainly, people seem to be going about their business as if Covid didn't exist. Not a wonder that rates of infection are rising along with hospitalizations although with reduced ICU occupancy relative to infection rates.
Is there a similar sense of an ending in France?

Here in Spain (Valencian Community) they have even stopped releasing daily figures; Now only weekly.

www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/the-fullest-data-to-date-has-dropped-on-covid-deaths-in-england-and-wales-here-s-what-it-tells-us/ar-AAVnbVk?ocid=msedgntpWe now have a bit more data on what has happened in 2020/21 regarding Covid. The charts need careful reading because sometimes they include and sometimes exclude covid deaths. What we still do not have is a breakdown of vaccinated versus unvaccinated. What surprised even me was that the numbers of non-covid deaths in Hospices and care homes which although a little lower than the 5 year average seem to be fairly close to the 5 year average (annoyingly there are no scales to the x axis so a small difference might actually be quite a lot of people, so I can only say seemingly However extra deaths at home and fewer deaths in hospital are stated to be 74,000 which allows some idea of the differences on the other bars). This suggests that the oft spouted statement that covid just killed old and infirm people who were going to die anyway is actually incorrect. Fewer non-covid people died in hospital - but possibly because they could not get a bed due to the covid victims. A lot more died at home - again perhaps unable to be taken into hospital..

I have been going to physio for 6 weeks.
Two of my fellow attendees have long covid so are doing exercises to try to build up their leg and arm muscles.
I know 2 friends in our village who currently have covid and my sons family in the UK also have it.
