I can see the difference, apparently you thought I was giving you medical advice.

You can get Merkel here as an alternative

Coronavirus swarms across Europe as Merkel warns 70% could be infected

The German chancellor told parliament that she believes 60% to 70% of the German population will contract the coronavirus.

Personally. I think it’s going to get a lot worse in the UK before any improvement.

Nipped into Tesco’s to get a Mother’s Day card and was greeted by empty shelves.
Delivery dates for paracetamol was Friday. Pasta Friday (that’ll get longer with Italy on lock down) and Sunday for bog roll.

Little bit concerned as I do have raised blood pressure - normal with my 10mg tablet tho.

I have never ever even had the Flu...…….or the annual jab (as I am convinced my immunity as it is now - will be eradicated)

Ah, this sort of 'knowledge' is troubling to me.

I am fairly confident that the Pope is Catholic, based on indirect evidence and reasonable assumptions, but I have no direct evidence, so I'm willing to accept that I might be wrong.

I have some concerns that the PM may not always be truthful, but I don't really have any reason to suppose that he would always be untruthful. So if he told me that the Pope was Catholic, it really would not alter my view at all. If he told be the Pope was not Catholic, I would be a bit perplexed, but also probably not change my view.

If I really thought that the PM was always untruthful then I would be in a perplexing situation if he told me the Pope was Catholic. Would I then know that the Pope wasn't Catholic?

If Donald Trump told me that Hillary really did deliberately kill all those people in Benghazi, could I really be sure there were no moon landings?

I’ve had flu once and I can understand how it can be deadly. I lived alone at the time and there was a point about 2am where I seriously considered phoning an ambulance. It’d got so bad that I reckoned if I was any worse I wasn’t physically going to be able to get out of bed to answer the front door, let alone look after myself.

No need to be concerned my DW friend.
I am on 5mg per day (mainly due to Zep, Fc, Catman and Riverama), have never had the Flu jab although, I was exposed to some severe Chernobyl balding radiation a few years back and given the circumstances am totally prepared to Od on 10mg if push comes to shove.

Luckily I supplement such meds with “breastakle” pics from philw696 every day via Pm and that keeps me sustained and hopeful of the future.
Very cheap too, and he givesTesco points.
Just saying.

Should be at Manchester Airport now catching a flight to Geneva for a long weekend skiing in France with a good mate who has a small chalet out there.
Mates girlfriend this morning as just come down with all the symptoms this morning, they where in France/Geneva Airport last week.
Too high a risk if he comes down while out of the country, then potentially me catching it off him etc.
So just cancelled my holiday with work.
Gutted, but of course hope mates girlfriend is okay.
I feel another trip to San Sebastian in a couple of weeks is slowly less likely now too.
