This info shouldn't be political.

or maybe this been talked into the ground already

Especially in the States. Some people get upset because kneeling during National Anthem-- but then storm the capital. I guess you can go back and forth on that... barely but

Prevention shouldn't be political
unsure if need to move this but its so relevant to today-- from Newspaper in 1918

"Report early symptoms to the doctor at once"

This one always made me laugh; particularly in UK and neighbors you had to be on the verge of death before seeing a doctor and in the hospitality trades in winter and approaching Christmas almost all chefs, cooks, wait staff, barkeepers, managers and security would have a cold or flu that they were working through with lemsip and sudafed

This is the problem with covid; before we would blow our nose and remark upon a "touch of the cold", yet now a sniffle is sufficient for a fortnights holiday

just realized the last sentence says " don't worry" .. that's exactly when you should worry. when someone says don't worry or minimizing your issues. lol

Seems fake to me - the date of the paper, source, etc is not shown & struggling to think that the stoic folks of 1918 would end with DON'T WORRY.

Similarly if you look at the style of an actual Douglas Island News paper, it isn't laid out as this image suggests ...

How about that... 23 instructions.

This time around we get no more than 3 at a time; the little rhetorical technique of the tricolon.

("Stay Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives". You can tell Boris went to Eton)

The authorities obviously concluded that everyone is now so dumbed down they are incapable of coping with more.
