        This is so sad; for those thinking it’s only the old, there are also very shocking examples of younger people dying even without underlying health issues. These emphasises that they were people who were loved; not just numbers.

        Break my heart when people says "ONLY old people is dying". Even if they have health complications, they are mothers/fathers/grandparents/friends, they are loved by someone. Wish I can have my grandpa one more day.

        That is staggering! I’m surprised they are still publishing a paper newspaper!

        Devastatingly sad. This is what gay newspapers were like in the 1980s during the height of the AIDS pandemic.https://twitter.com/benphillips76/status/1238854071509016577 …
