Chalder and co are all getting older themselves. At some stage they will succumb to the diseases of old age, and for some of them they will get cancer and other illnesses or diseases themselves at an earlier age (earlier than old age that is). I'll be interested to see how they cope when it...

Well done Trish's daughter! :) I'm dreading tackling OH's hair! He started clipping it himself, but very unevenly. I agree with the scissors first, then clip thing. He mostly wears hats when outside (or he'd prob scare the neighbours!), whether to protect from sun or to keep his head warm -...

Just thought I'd let you know that the fish we ordered, way back when, arrived safely today. Came via FedX. If I understand OH's notations, we've got enough for 16 meals for 2, plus 2 kippers for OH (I love kippers but can't cope with the bones these days they're too fiddly for me) and some...

He'll be one of the two who didn't give permission. Though I expect he still has direct alarm to the cops still. Possibly the other one is his wife. Just wild guesses! ;)

I thought I'd put up the list of people who were in the Independent SAGE group. I haven't had time to check them all out yet, so mostly they just had their name up and not their title. So I don't know which were doctors, statisticians, professors or what! Oh, around the 1.45 mark there was some...

'Happy hypoxia': unusual coronavirus effect baffles doctors Some patients who appear not in distress are found to have dangerously low oxygen levels

Not sure if it will work or not as I went straight from the link in the tweet. But this is where I ended up: I'm sick and tired... Please be aware it's very sad and worrying, a lot of people not getting proper treatment. :cry: :mad: Have some hugs to strengthen you! :hug: :hug: :hug: (edited...

I just clicked on the Reddit thread from Vastag's tweet. The first in that thread is just appalling. Person having difficulty breathing and requested a CT scan from GP. Who refused and said would refer to a Medical Unexplained Illness clinic. A lot more agreeing, one had a GP who did suggest...

Lot of coloured flag waving! Yellow, red, blue and pink! Actually waving some flags would prob be more conducive to recovery than the process this poor lady has been through.

:rolleyes: :eek: :mad: Cue a rush of papers from the usual suspects. :sick:

New article, currently free to read, in the FT. John Burn-Murdoch is one of the authors. It's chilling. Global coronavirus death toll could be 60% higher than reported Mortality statistics show 122,000 deaths in excess of normal levels across 14 countries analysed by the FT...

@lunarainbows, thank you for the cookie link. Have just ordered for my younger DD as she has twin boys just coming up to their 10th birthday. I thought with all the home schooling stuff, not to mention the exercise thing first thing in the morning with Joe(?), that she deserved a treat! I've...

I read about using a section of a nylon stocking to go over a cloth mask, it makes it tighter to the face so there's less leakage around it. I thought I read it here. If I didn't I haven't a clue where to search for it. Guess section of nylon tights would work too. Though don't know how you'd...

Update on our Tesco delivery. Given time between 5 and 6pm. Arrived around an hour early. When OH commented the chap told him there were piles still waiting to be delivered. OH thinks the only thing missing that they couldn't substitute was leeks. Well, leeks is leeks I guess, and onions or...

This is quite interesting. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/04/coronavirus-found-paris-sewage-points-early-warning-system

Scientists join calls for UK public to wear homemade face masks outdoors https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/apr/21/scientists-join-calls-for-uk-public-to-wear-homemade-face-masks-outdoors

OH managed to pick up a random Tesco slot! It should come on Thursday. Thought I'd report back on my efforts with Waitrose in case anyone is interested. I'd made my shop, and every time I looked to see if a random slot had come up all I had to do was refresh the page. Nothing ever did come up...

I can't remember if Frances Ryan's articles have allowed discussion BTL before. But I do note that an awful lot of the Grauniad daily cartoons don't. Some still do, but say a year ago nearly all did. Now it seems they're a lot more picky. Of course with Martin Rowson he can be very "difficult"...

It's closed down my world, we can't get any groceries or much food online. Can phone our butcher (he delivers but isn't online), and can get random stuff off amazon, but can't get supermarket slots to get food delivered. So it's actually closed stuff down for many (I'm assuming many in same...

Thank you for that information @Simbindi. I'll pass it on to OH when he gets back from watering the allotment (allowable as exercise). Your point about not being background checked is prob something I picked up a while ago without realising exactly - you know, you kind of make a mental note...
