What was your low point of the pandemic? [View all]

For me it was probably the nauseating fear that every time I left the home to work or get food I might come home with a virus that would kill my physically fragile wife.

Paltrow ate bread. So. I’m sure she can relate.

I don’t have an issue with her. If that’s as low as she got, Good for her. But I am disgusted the The Guardian is putting out crap like this as journalism. Why the fuck are they even reporting something this inane?
