I'm fully in favour of releasing bears and wolves into Sherwood and the New Forest. It would add a frisson of excitement for ramblers, that may have to turn into runners.

A drowsy confused face appears at the door, "Helloooo"
"Erin, what are you doing here? You should be on the college bus!"
"Well I turned off my alarm, and fell back to sleep"
"You have 5 alarms and you went to bed at 8pm. Have you got sleeping sickness?"
Yawwwn.

Yep. They damage themselves and everyone around them.

It would have to be a novel virus with a month's (but infectious) incubation time, before symptoms to fully appear to give itself time to infect plenty of people.
Covid should really have been a mix of Ebola and turbo leprosy.
It's hard to deny something is just a cold on a podcast or a TikTok if your face is covered in lesions, you suddenly vomit up blood and your nose drops off.

There are no justifications. You cannot use 'suspected' drug trafficker to murder people. Intercept, verify and due process. When did sentencing change to the summary death sentence judgement in the eyes of unelected bureaucrat Stephen Miller?
