These were the w/e ones: I hope to God they don't get higher during the week ...

I was concerned enough about yesterday's UK Covid infection numbers having gone up quite substantially, but today's announcement of nearly 3000 people testing positive in the past 24 hours compared with about half that a few days ago is really worrying. I hope there's some reasonable...

There's still difficulty getting eggs, particularly if you want them in sixes rather than dozens, or 15s ... I mean, the eggs are available, so can't they just put them in some different-sized boxes? Is it that hard? In my local Sainsbury's, there are 12-packs galore, but barely any 6-packs...

Poor Tom. He's had enough to deal with in recent years without this. God willing, sooner or later he will actually reap the rewards which his undoubted abilities deserve, but now he's back at about square one due to the training equivalent of GET :(

I'm becoming very concerned by reports coming out of the USA that there is pressure to get a vaccine out by the beginning of November (remind me what the election date is, please, someone?) Here's an example...

I know there's been quite a bit of speculation that Boris Johnson may have it, or at least not have recovered particularly well from the original illness. If someone in his position were to discuss it publicly, people would certainly listen.

I don't suppose anyone's produced biodegradable ones yet, have they? Bad enough seeing all these discarded single-use masks lying around - we don't want the same with filters. (NB: Terracycle have launched a mask recycling scheme for ones used in non-medical situations)

7 signs you may have had COVID-19 without realising it, according to doctors http://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/7-signs-you-may-have-had-covid-19-without-realising-it-according-to-doctors/ar-BB18Af9O?li=AAnZ9Ug&ocid=ASUDHP US-oriented, but again suggesting that Covid was spreading rather...

Where do you get KN95 filters from? I've been using coffee filters :)

This is sort of relevant, although it's approaching from entirely the diagonally opposite end of the spectrum, i.e. people who are "fit and healthy": http://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/familyhealth/exercise-and-covid-19-can-be-a-dangerous-combination-new-evidence-shows/ar-BB18lWMt?ocid=ASUDHP

Oh, you're lucky. I think ours was distinctly late - unless I'm getting it muddled with something else.

This one seems to be one of the more sensible accounts of the alleged case of reinfection with Covid-19 (two separate strains): http://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/first-case-of-coronavirus-reinfection-confirmed-researchers-say/ar-BB18jFw8?li=AAnZ9Ug&ocid=ASUDHP

Just wondering whether anyone's tried wearing a mask with a nylon/polyester inner layer? Sounds as though it ought to get horribly hot and sweaty.
