Suddenly gone and missed by the affection of her loved ones, Barbara Bonato.
No age or cause of death reported.
I have friends here in Italy, who have no clue about the severity of what's going on. They only watch the TV (which of course doesn't report all of these deaths), and they don't really read the papers.
I despair - I simply can't get my head round the fact that so many are dying and no-one really seems bothered. Or maybe it's as a person said on X, that, as the vaxxed now know they are now at great risk, they just shut off and don't want to discuss it ?
Anyway, a very big thank you to Cathleen who is working so hard to compile all these deaths. And yes, I think the children are the hardest to read because they are the innocent lambs.
These reports used to take a few minutes to scroll through.
I’ve only done the ‘Italy’ one so far this morning (the second crashed Kawasaki motorcycle drew me in). It took me a good while to chew through all these tragic losses.
I’ll have to take a break before starting through the other locations.
This is getting worse. 🙁
