Please read this before starting Any exercise could lead to risk of physical injury. You should feel good when participating in activity or exercise. If you experience any extreme pain, shortness of breath or dizziness, stop and seek advice. Following this, activity and exercise advice, is at...

Measuring things always raises a chance of finding something but this does not look like efficient use of resources. I think the project is left over from the work done by Jonas Blomberg, who died a couple of years back I think. Jonas was intelligent and creative but his idea of an autoimmune...

My understanding from having discussed funding with the trustees on several occasions is that this is a legacy managed by friends of the benefactor. The trustees are sympathetic to ME but not I think because of any connection between the benefactor and ME. The use of the money appears to be at...

I personally do not use the term immunosuppression because it has no very useful meaning. The treatments we use in rheumatology are designed to target specific steps in immune pathways and yes, we do want to know a deeper cause in order to predict which pathways we want to address. The general...

yup

The third person on the video seemed nice and sensible. I have not looked at RMM, as I doubt I would see anything new. What struck me about Lynne Turner Stokes presentation on the video and slideshow was the complete absence of any evidence combined with didactic advice on the right thing to do...

I better look at it. Like Esther Crawley, Lynne Turner Stokes was a trainee of mine. In fact her mother, who was President of the Royal College of Physicians for a time was a trainee of my father's!

It seems that it is hard for us to absorb that this 'anyone' is just the Cochrane Collaboration PR machine. The first author, Moynihan, was a journalist who did a PhD with our old friend Paul Glasziou - the one who writes reviews on how to do research with Iain Chalmers, but also a positive...

- Our assessment is that travel is not what is driving this. So presumably the virus got in to Sweden via one of Harry Potter's friends doing teleportation? But then of course he may well be right since then. If nobody does anything to stop the virus then air traffic may not be such a big...

No it isn't just you, @Wonko. The level of incompetence here is breathtaking. What is equally sad is that even the more intelligent news outlets seem to be incapable of seeing the reality. What none of these complaining holidaymakers seems to get is that it is not just a matter of R values or...

Really helpful way for a prominent doctor to reinforce a health policy message.

Sorry, I am cross.

Wasn't there a behavioural scientist on SAGE who said the real problem with catastrophes is that people don't panic enough and screw up as a result? We watched the first two episodes of The Salisbury Poisonings last night. It was intriguing to see how well specialist emergency services can...

It is certainly time to talk about all the other deaths caused by irresponsible people not taking Covid19 seriously and so wrecking UK healthcare, not thinking they needed to self-isolate or anything like that... ahem, cough

Maybe Dr Gerada thinks we could eat cake? After all she needn't worry.

I am sure the symptoms were real. But it is easy to misinterpret realities. I suspect the main problem is that Ramsay thought he was looking for signs of encephalitis. On the other hand patients worried that they might have a polio like illness might have misinterpreted sensations...

Impressive work.
