This man was a complete unknown but yet here we have Kate's husband in a coma due to the virus and the country gets a month by month update on his condition. Kate makes umpteen number of radio and TV interviews and I say to myself, 'what makes this woman and her husband so important that the country has to have monthly updates on his condition'. How many other long term virus suffers are there lying in hospital not being giving the same public limelight consideration that Kate and her husband are being given.
Dodge, This is what troubles me. Thousands and thousands of people with Covid have died, or may still be lingering in a hospital bed or on a ventilator, not knowing if they are going to live or die. Their families beside themselves in grief, or others hoping that their loved one will survive. What about them?
Yes, l am really sorry for Kate’s husband, for her and her children but there seems to be a lot of cashing in on her plight. The interviews, the documentary, the book. Maybe, some of this money is going to help others who are not famous and can’t cash in.
I don’t know, maybe l am being unfair and hard but surely there should be some privacy in all of this?
