Anxiety and depression due to the pandemic could remain for years
Levels of anxiety and depression remained high between lockdowns and
worsened in the second lockdown, found researchers

Women experienced more mental distress than men
The number of people suffering high levels of anxiety and depression
rose by more than a third during the pandemic. It's a mental health

study using data from our volunteers and 10 other studies.

The study was, sadly, unsurprising.

Many of us have found the pandemic very difficult to cope with for

This has to be a cross government approach to support people with
aspects like housing, employment, finances and connecting with their

Depression and anxiety levels soared during Covid pandemic and could
remain high for years, experts say

The only *healthy* way to stop the pandemic, thereby saving lives, in
the U.K. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19
) finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John
15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their
doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage
mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like
http://tinyurl.com/Deltamicron that may render current COVID
vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no longer effective.

Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( http://tinyurl.com/RapidOmicronTest
) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.

So how are you ?

I am wonderfully hungry!

The usual inane gook conversation, gook?

Mangina, there is nothing inane about being wonderfully hungry in
the Holy Spirit!

It is immoral for you to call me a gook!
What else can we expect from

a pair of slant eyed mongoloids with BLANK minds?

Slant eyes are a superficial characteristic. While they may be
relevant to sex appeal, they have no relevance to honor, decency, and integrity.

You are a Nazi.

As a Nazi, you are, above all else, a craven coward.

You are afraid to compete with others as equals because you know you
can not measure up.

You are afraid of your own inadequacy, so you want to murder your
betters.

You are afraid of the truth, so you want to murder those who would
tell it.

You are afraid of history, so you want to murder the past, to wipe
out the knowledge of the degeneracy, cowardice and failure of National Socialism.

Finally, you are afraid of the power of educated, informed adults.
Freedom of choice terrifies you… which is why you choose minor children
as sexual partners. You can not interact with competent adults in a consensually sexual way. You need to be able to impose yourself on a
helpless victim, be it a prepubescent boy, or a patient in a mental
hospital.

That is what you are, a Nazi, and there is nothing polite or honest
about it.
