Fair enough you got to see some grim effects on human health, lord knows we have enough health problems, but I think society these days is too wrapped up in cotton wool and paranoid about every potential health problem that they just don’t buckle down and just get on with life.

The lot -as i said I spent 50yrs at the mental health frontline.of course there were many like this but such was the lifestyle of that time ,it wasnt till later the causative links were established.The ability of social media to whip people into a frenzy of fear has a lot to do with it these days.
