I have read several news stories in the last year about an increase in car accidents related to Covid infection. LINK State Pathologist Dr Margot Bolster said that covid-19 was likely a contributory factor in the crash. Dr Bolster found in her autopsy on Mr Allen on August 31, 2022, in City Morgue, Cork, no alcohol or drugs in his blood. He had suffered “extremely severe crush injuries” and multiple fractures to his skull. He tested positive for Covid-19 when swabbed in the mortuary. “There were all sorts of brain symptoms with it […] it affected all organs of the body. “Covid-19 – that’s the real item of interest here. He was positive for covid-19 and may have been feeling unwell,” Dr Bolster said.
And there are plans to force half a million sick people back to work in the UK, how many of them will be suffering from Covid-19? From my own experience at the Job Centre before finally getting ESA bus driver jobs were always being promoted/pushed. 4-30 am starts for a person who struggles to get to the toilet and back safely at that time.

I don't know if it's just a coincidence but there have been numerous reports of pilots dying during flights lately.
ME bus drivers would be like our day trip to Scarborough in the 1960s! The coach driver had had to stand in for another bloke at half an hour's notice and he'd no idea how to get there from Sheffield. The passengers had to direct him all the way, and my dad's mate somehow managed to engineer getting dropped off at the end of his street on the way back.
