We don't have a subscription to the online Times, only the hard copy so I can't post you a link. Just half a dozen lines...

    The biology of coronavirus COVID-19 - including research and treatments

    This will be interesting. My GP told me in a phone consult last week that I would be offered Oxford in March . I queried the 62% VE and the lack of data on the elderly.

    NICE ME/CFS draft guideline - publication dates and delays 2020

    I have written to my MP reminding him of the publication of the Nice guidelines tomorrow.
