That's about what I've been having to do. It's wearing, and I'm not ill :( Would local churches, voluntary groups etc. be any use? I've found the smaller convenience shops have tended to be better bets, but it sounds as though you've tried them unsuccessfully already.

And I hear on the news tonight that an 18-year-old has just died :(

Listen to this A&E doctor on the threat posed by Covid-19 (WARNING: It's very long, but the most important bit is early on) And please get the message out there: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0877mb2 In a matter of weeks, we risk a situation where there may be 8 patients needing each...

Good old LSHTM :)

Oops, no, definitely not! And anyway, how much protection would a knitted balaclava be? Not much, I'd guess, given the size of the stitches.

No, but my pharmacy was selling some sort of salt inhaler, I think it was, (does that make sense?) which was supposedly good for allergies and so on.

I wasn't thinking about the current situation, but more generally. You're saying they're not useful generally either?

Wish I'd known more about all these supplements: this is just the sort of thing you don't tend to hear about on the NHS.

Some notes from the Klimas video, in the hope that it will help you be selective if you can't listen to it all. NB: I don't guarantee that any of this is 100% right - it was just what I was trying to type as she spoke. (EDIT: Also read what people have said about the contents below :( ) From...

Excellent - thank you so much.

This is why I get increasingly concerned at the suggestion we should move onto solely electricity for our power and heating needs ...

L-carnitine can cause stomach upsets, I believe?

And there I was thinking the header referred to the number of benefits tribunals they'd lost ... :(

I thought I'd seen something (here?) about a Japanese woman who'd caught it a second time? Possibly because the virus had mutated?

Although we keep being told that a tribunal will warn you if you stand to lose (some of) your existing award, and ask if you still want to continue.

It is, but if they've got as far as filing a patent application, then surely they've done quite a bit of research beforehand?

There used to be a website, called maybe DoNotLink?, which would allow you to access sites such as the Daily Mail where you might not want to give them the satisfaction of recording your visit. I don't know if it still exists.

Don't think this one has been linked to, but I found it interesting. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/explosion-food-allergies-behind-boom/ (In the Saturday Telegraph Magazine 8th February, in case someone wants to look it up at their local library or whatever) Also, there seem to be some...

Re duvet covers, have you discovered the trick: 1. Have cover inside-out. 2. Stick both arms into cover and grab each of the far corners with one hand. 3. While still holding those corners, grab hold of the corresponding corners of your duvet as well. 4. Then "shake" the cover off your arms and...

I don't know whether they still make them, but somewhere I have a rubbery/plasticky "triangular cylinder" is the best way I can describe it, which fits over normal-thickness pens and pencils to make them easier to grasp. It used to belong to my mum, who had arthritis or something similar in her...
