Apparently the thinking is now that you're unlikely to catch it from someone else in the open air just by walking past them - could that be a contributing factor?

And how on earth does Femoral head necrosis become a "Neuropsychiatric complication", for that matter?

This one? https://www.spiegel.de/international/world/eu-pandemic-adviser-peter-piot-we-will-have-to-learn-to-live-with-covid-19-a-92cdf795-3378-44c8-b565-3294596e410c (German version here, if anyone wants it, but it looks as though it's subscriber-only)...

I actually made one yesterday. It's not very good, but usually I use a silk scarf, doubled over my face, and it would never had stayed on in yesterday's wind, so needs must. I'm regarding it as a trial run, and hope the next one I make will be a bit more professional-looking. But it did stay...

I'm not sure whether this is the appropriate place for it, but didn't know where else to put it. If 20%+ of the UK population believe the virus is a hoax, then how can you ever persuade them to adopt the measures necessary to stop, or at least slow, its spread...

Thanks for posting it again, Mithriel. It is indeed very useful.

I was involved in a Zoom discussion the other day where someone was saying they hadn't had fresh salad for months because they were worried about the possibility of contamination, when it suddenly struck me: a) as I understand it, this virus isn't exactly inherently mobile. So if you take a...

Someone told me earlier today that today was the first day in which no new cases were registered in London. Can anyone confirm this? It would certainly be a step in the right direction if true.

Is this exertion in the physical sense only, or exertion in the ME sense, e.g. holding a conversation, watching TV, trying to do a puzzle as well?

And oh, you should see the front page of the Daily Mail this morning. Nasty piece of work, it looks like :( I still don't see how it can be possible to operate schools safely, given that the pupils will be going home to families in the evening.

Over the past few weeks, I have repeatedly recalled the Biblical parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins: on hearing that the bridegroom was delayed, the bridesmaids went to sleep, only half having got their lamps ready beforehand - when he arrived, the other half had to go and buy oil for their...

Hallelujah. How many weeks ago was it that I read about the anecdotal evidence about anosmia in, I think, the Washington Post? Feels like a couple of months. Just think of all the people who have become unnecessarily infected in the interim :( Better late than never.

Thanks. Just done this technically late, but it's gone through.

And this is how the UK govt. wants us to avoid a second spike in cases :( Can't believe so many people upped and went back to work just on their say-so - do they not bother running the information through their brains first? Of course, they may have been desperate, I suppose.

Pretty much the same as my Sainsbury's delivery the other day: designed to fill in the holes for things we were running out of so that I didn't have to put myself and my caree at risk by going to the supermarket. Instead, I've spent the past 48 hours plus at 4 different supermarkets to try and...

I've noticed my bank tends to pay me late rather than early now if there's a bank holiday in the way - and since I'm the one paying me I can't really complain that it's someone else's fault! So, I obviously didn't mention that I managed to get a Sainsbury's delivery slot over the weekend -...

More likely not, I'd have thought - greater sensitivity to smell is frequently an accompaniment to migraines, I find.

I've only just spotted this: apparently it was in last week's newsletter, so probably everyone else has already taken advantage of it, but still ... https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/team-blog/2020/04/how-to-access-groceries-and-online-shopping-if-you-re-vulnerable/
