SOME weeks ago, on our health pages, I wrote about the need for more kindness in our daily lives. I could not have foreseen how timely that call was to be, and heaven knows we need all the kindness we can get in these troubled times.

However, it is worth remembering that kindness is a two-way street and to earn it, and to be respected, we must show it. In these lockdown, self-isolating and frightening days, more and more people are turning to social media. This can be for information, social interaction and amusement.
