Communities across the UK – including here on the Isle of Wight – will come together on Sunday to mark the COVID‑19 Day of Reflection.
Now 6 years on from the start of the pandemic, the day provides an important moment to remember those who lost their lives, acknowledge the sacrifices made, and honour the tireless efforts of individuals and teams across the country.
For many, the pandemic may feel like a chapter increasingly distant in time. However, for others – particularly those who worked on the frontline – the day carries deep significance. Across the Island, countless colleagues continued delivering vital services throughout the most challenging circumstances, supporting our community when it was needed most.
Their dedication, resilience and compassion had a profound and lasting impact on the lives of many. The Day of Reflection stands as an opportunity to recognise these extraordinary contributions and to thank all those who played a part in supporting the Island during this unprecedented period.
Councillor Debbie Andre, Adult Social Care, Public Health and Housing Needs Committee Chair said;
“The COVID‑19 Day of Reflection gives us all the chance to pause and remember the families affected by loss, while also acknowledging the remarkable efforts of those who protected, cared for and supported our community. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone whose commitment and courage made such a difference during the pandemic, and to those who continue to serve our Island with compassion today.”

I think everyone that still believes any of the corona nonsense could do with a day of reflection. Preferably in a padded cell.
We have now seen what a farce it was from the
Covid enquiry plus all the parties etc that politicians
attended.
Thousands if not millions of people have sadly died
around the world, many still have life changing side effects
since receiving the experimental vaccines.
I have relations who suffered since taking these jabs,
so sad, they were fit as a fiddle before 2020.
What annoys me is that the NHS are still administering
these shots.
Usually when medication/drugs have affected so many persons
they are STOPPED!
These weren’t, this is why many people no longer trust
vaccines.
Dolores cahill, a silenced governmrnt virologist, claimed that after one single Mrna, you’ll be dead between 3 to 5 years.
Turbo cancers
Blood clots
Strokes
Nerbous systom issues
Respieatory issues
The list goes on, but its SAFE AND EFFE TIVE. (At killing)
I have a friend whos relation works for big pharma’. This relation said that the givernment were informed that the jab will kill.
Common sense should have told the masses that a useless piece of cloth over your face is not gonna protect againt ‘ the deadliest virus’ known to man. Yet i still see people driving on their own witb a nask over their face.
Totally brainwashed by the controlled media and tell-a-vision..
6 years since the start / preparation of the
new world order.
