I don't think anyone is banking on a vaccine. It is not predictable. I would rather they kept us all shut down as well, but why not try to do what...
What hits me starkly about today's press conference is that although the impression is given that we are catching up with other countries in the...
Mr Johnson slipped in 14 days at the press conference instead of 7 - hoping nobody would notice they had changed things, I assume.
No, because there is no such thing as an immune boosting supplement as far as I know. Even if supplements helped immunity, which I doubt, they are...
