"Stay safe"

OK for anyone over 44 and who has certain medical conditions this may be an appropriate saying.

But anyone under 44 and in good health you are statistically as likely to be killed in a car crash when driving than of covid 19.
Maybe we should start saying stay safe to anyone who gets into a car now to make a journey?

There are many ads advising people to do exactly that, keep your distance applies to cars as well as people.

As a 44-year old I feel like I'm left in a limbo.

Not a catchphrase as such but every sentence construction along the line of "something good" should have been done "earlier"

A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

"during covid" :mad:

Usually used by some muppet that is opposed to something and wants to know if it can be enforced during the pandemic.
