Dear Bbc

Please give Clive Myrie half an hour on one of your digital platforms so he can anchor a sob-fest with close-ups of distressed health workers being close-upped to tears and leave the six o'clock news for news.

That item was like watching the worst of American reality guff.

Shameless.

And again tonight really laid it on thick, showing grave yards this time.

They seem to be targeting ethnic minorities now many of whom are reluctant to be vaccinated. They had an inam on tonight trying to encourage them.

// So, here we have people wandering about the country in and out of hospitals //

Risk of disease spread isn't the reason why I think some people are getting upset about the coverage but I take your point.

// Which presents the greatest risk, do you think? A waiter wearing a face covering serving a meal to a couple in such an establishment or a film crew invading an already overcrowded ICU? //

If we were to only let out of lockdown as many couple+waiter groups as there are TV crews in ICU's then that comparison would make sense but we have to give the whole population the chance to go to restaurants at once and that causes much more mingling than just the 'meal' bit of the evening which agreed is probably the safest part.
