Thanks to The Echo for reporting scientific facts around the pandemic and not relying on social media ‘research’. Also a big thanks to Mandy’s Soapbox for articulating a compassionate response to mask wearing and social behaviour.
Society is a ‘We’ affair not a ‘Me’ affair. Society is based on relationships. Whatever we do will ripple through society and affect each of us.
Things may be inconvenient at the moment but for the good of the whole, wear a mask when needed, and for those that see that a vaccine is the only way out of this pandemic mess – go and get vaccinated.


For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
