Funny how news of Covid being brought under control is like repellent to pesky naysayers.

Head to any topic where they have ability to question, ridicule and they'll be buzzing around shamelessly.

Not sure whether to give TV away entirely or just avoid the usual suspects and the topics chosen to bring them around their sh*t heaps.
