Please remind me, who is responsible for Public Health England? Oh yes! PHE is an executive agency, sponsored by the Department of Health and Social Care. Which has the following: Our ministers The Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of...

Or that they didn't ask Carrie.

Police have visited Scotland’s chief medical officer Dr Catherine Calderwood and issued her with a warning after she visited her second home. Scotland’s chief constable Iain Livingstone said in a statement: Earlier today, local officers visited Dr Catherine Calderwood and spoke to her about...

Bloody useless pillocks: There are no NHS prescription charges in Scotland and Wales but if you’re ordering a prescription from us online, and choose to have it delivered to your home or a post office, you may have to pay. This is because we dispense our prescriptions in England so the English...

Was it reported four days ago? Before midday.

I am aware of 6-month or even 12-month prescribing such as you get. But it has never been offered to me and, despite being in contact with thousands, few others have that. In the current context, it would make more sense if you could get your prescriptions dispensed at any convenient interval -...

He is also plainly wrong. In the famous village of Eyam, the rector William Mompesson did close the church and preached outdoors. This to prevent plague being passed on. https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/The-Great-Plague/

The trouble is, even pretending they can is a major indictment of them as the government. Talk about panic shopping, why, this is panic governing on a horrendous scale.

Mine too, and now on three-months. But I know many are on 28-days for no good reason.

A more imaginative solution would be to test people as they go for their exercise sessions (or sunbathing). Damn! No tests available. There's always a problem... And, let vitamin D supplements be distributed across the entire UK, for free.

I see Hancock has gone into threat mode: Hancock: you've got to follow the rules or we'll ban all exercise outside Matt Hancock, the health secretary, has said the government could ban exercise outdoors if people flout lockdown rules. After saying earlier that sunbathing is against lockdown...

Am sure someone, somewhere, is working on the basis of subtracting the usual death rates at this time of year from the total rates and more or less assuming that all excess deaths are due to covid-c19. Directly or indirectly. Mind, we are likely seeing a reduction in road traffic deaths...

The actual paper behind it appears to be this: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56eddde762cd9413e151ac92/t/5e84ec2f224cce74bd7edb12/1585769520777/ASI+-+Testing+Times+-+Matthew+Lesh+-+FINAL.pdf Stuff South Korea, let's follow Iceland. Country Tests per million population Total tests...

I am on a medicine which is very common. It is also among the cheapest and safest of all medicines. And many patients are on the same dose for years. Yet considerable numbers of patients are stuck on the arbitrary 28-day prescribing. (My GP agreed to 84-day presciptions at my last appointment.)...

He needs a credit card with a decent limit...

What has happened in some parts of Wales is that people are coming and going to shops - and buying up stock that is in short supply. The rules have not been well written and explained - and some might not be justified in terms of science or evidence. But stay at home except <list of exceptions>...

Completely disagree with you there. I can't see how driving that sort of distance could ever be thought acceptable. Much as I might wish to do similarly.

I suggest confiscation of vehicle should be standard in egregious cases - like this appears to be: 15:23 Porsche driver stopped about an hour from home North Wales Police say a motorist from Shropshire faces court after he was stopped in his Porsche by police in Bala. The force says he has...

I always thought the tories loved tests: 11-plus Common Entrance Oxbridge entrance Separate them from the hoi palloi. Oh yes, Johnson & Charles were tested! No change there, then.
