And in some ways it is even worse that they can't even know the rate of infection. It is staggering that they don't even allow self-registration of having it while in self-isolation. The only evidence they will have is secondary - those who are scooped up due to severity, deaths, etc..

Japanese flu drug 'clearly effective' in treating coronavirus, says China Shares in Fujifilm Toyama Chemical, which developed favipiravir, surged after praise by Chinese official...

Completely agreed. Better understanding of how to treat everyone who get serious issues, and the specific best treatments for each person/underlying condition. In my little niche, we are still utterly unsure at the impact of low or excessive thyroid hormone levels, and the main cause of...

Good to they have got that far but a long way yet to go: Despite the rapid progress, even if the vaccine is proved safe and effective against the virus, it will not be available for at least a year.

Just had confirmation of quite how bad the situation is: The fast food chain, McDonalds, is closing all seating areas and temporarily move to being takeaway, drive-through and delivery only in the UK and Ireland from 5am on Wednesday (GMT), it has said.

Just seeing a raft of people who are anything from concerned to incandescent. They are sufferers of Pernicious Anaemia - a state in which they are unable to absorb vitamin B12 in any ingested form - food or supplement - and need regular injections. Frequency varies from initial loading doses...

I think we (the two of us - not the whole population) actually eat quite a lot of vegetables - just consuming quite a lot uncooked.

If they are three-ply rolls, that is six sides per sheet.

Not sure about that. Maybe we consume more salad than many, but I wouldn't be surprised if the split is fairly even between cooked and not cooked.

Would the Telegraph rather we were like Turkey? Turkey has detained 19 people over “unfounded and provocative” social media posts about the government’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak, the interior ministry has said. A statement late on Monday said that 93 suspects have been identified...

On the assumption that having had it confers immunity.

Would it be right for us to blindly follow every word the government speaks? They'd like that, wouldn't they. Mind, half the time we'd be confusing ourselves as bit of government A says one thing and BOG B says the opposite. And the ridiculous photo caption on that article: In these times, we...

I used to pass through a large town where one petrol station was renowned for high pump prices. Can't now remember the numbers but I do remember that people regularly mis-read the posted price. Numerous complaints but they carried on. Their only customers were people passing through who made a...

I end up in a self-contradictory state here. I hate the need to have multiple parking apps. (Some car parks here are National Park, some National Trust, some council, some "others".) But I agree that something like what you described would likely work quite well. I think my dislike was...

Parking charges. Round here we are relatively lucky in that parking isn't desperately expensive, indeed, there is still quite a bit of free short-term parking. But they have instituted various schemes like contactless. Unfortunately, by the time you have done some or all of select language...

At least one local pub has decided to close - at least for now. Despite this appearing to be a relatively safe area. And the lack of mandate. (Partner noticed an announcment reported on the web somewhere yesterday evening.)

We have few actual manufacturers. And I am not at all convinced anyone would trust Hotpoint (Whirlpool) given their history of fires. Ebac? No idea.

That is, quite simply, brilliant. Some of the comments are so po-faced. It was done with due warnings and a degree of humour. Not expecting people to lash them up and trundle into ICU with them. Yes, in time a decent version might have become possible.

Looks like they were reading this forum and my post: Matt Hancock ✔ @MattHancock Calling all manufacturers who can support our National Effort for #coronavirus ventilator production - to help, contact Government Business Support team: 0300 456...
