Strange

“You know who I felt most sorry for during Covid?”

“Who?”

“The homeless.”

“Why’s that?”

“Living in squalor, malnourished, addiction issues, unvaccinated - they must have been wiped out. What chance had they? That’s actually why I stopped watching the news and all that stuff.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well obviously with the relentless focus and bombardment of the whole thing, the news was going to be full of sights every day of trucks full of the dead bodies of the homeless that they were picking off the streets of all our major cities. They could hardly have just left them lying there dead. I just couldn’t have faced watching that over and over. It must have been devastating.”

“Well no, there was nothing like that.”

“Really?! Oh you mean they decided not to show it because it would have been too traumatic for the viewers?”

“No, no. Obviously the attitude for the media would have been the more traumatic the footage the better. I think they mostly didn’t show it cos it just didn’t happen.”

“That’s strange.”
