In Britain, when a man has betrayed a pure maiden, her spirit returns & haunts him in the form of a hare, bringing misery. The hare is visible only to him. Sometimes it saves him from other misery so that it can continue torture & then eventually causes his death.

Very important thread re: public perceptions of SARS-COV-2 and why we need to end the comparisons of the Spanish flu.
The Spanish Flu comparison is an insidious one that I keep coming across.

'Something was going to kill him, why not covid?' This attitude, once confined to far right eugenicists, is now widespread across society. How do so few people see the danger in this?
