A very long and detailed article, which explains a lot. On a similar note: Super-spreaders are major drivers of COVID-19 outbreaks, study finds http://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/super-spreaders-are-major-drivers-of-covid-19-outbreaks-study-finds/ar-BB19CpDR?ocid=ASUDHP

Oh, I've seen a bit of press coverage - including the largely empty shelves where toilet rolls used to be. Waitrose and Morrisons at least are already rationing things in an attempt to be pre-emptive. (Why are various fancy oils so much in demand?) The only thing missing from my Sainsbury's...

What *is* the required spec? Where do I find it? I'm not sure my phone will cope with it.

Coronavirus: How effective are face masks at stopping spread? http://www.msn.com/en-gb/lifestyle/style/coronavirus-how-effective-are-face-masks-at-stopping-spread/ar-BB16I09Z?li=AAnZ9Ug&ocid=ASUDHP

They use them to sniff out cancers and the like, so why not train dogs to detect people who have Covid-19? http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/any-breed-could-do-it-dogs-might-be-a-covid-testers-best-friend/ar-BB19qfNN?li=BBoPWjQ&ocid=ASUDHP

Really? I'd been about to post this one which I found in an old newspaper from a week or so ago, asking whether we'd all got it wrong about Sweden: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/sweden-coronavirus-covid19-lockdown-a4546976.html Is that no longer the case?

Well, this is interesting: http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/genetic-or-immune-defects-may-impair-ability-to-fight-covid-19/ar-BB19ohb9?li=AAnZ9Ug&ocid=ASUDHP

I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea what that means :( However, my caree has been on aripiprazole - to "augment" mirtazapine, whatever that may mean - for several years. I won't go into too much detail, given that this is a public forum, but her dose is 2.5 mg. She's come off it several...

See also this thread: https://www.s4me.info/threads/low-dose-abilify-aripiprazole-any-updates.9997/#post-281398 I think the other thread sounds more appropriate for me to post our experiences in.

An interesting new tack: Scientists find Covid-19 weakness which could be beaten with small molecule anti-viral drugs http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newslondon/scientists-find-covid-19-weakness-which-could-be-beaten-with-small-molecule-anti-viral-drugs/ar-BB19h6DM?li=AAnZ9Ug&ocid=ASUDHP

Reuters has a roundup of some of the latest findings: http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/t-cell-shortage-linked-to-severe-covid-19-in-elderly-antiseptic-spray-may-limit-virus-spread/ar-BB19bf87?li=BBoPWjQ&ocid=ASUDHP

Well, of course, people coming back off holidays, students returning to university and children returning to school - but of course we all know children don't catch the virus or transfer it to anyone else, don't we, so why on earth should there be a second spike in September? :banghead:

Just for clarification, I trust you don't literally mean "together"? I thought you had to alternate them if you were taking both, and do it perhaps a couple of hours apart?

How to distinguish the symptoms of the common cold and Covid-19 symptoms: http://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/medical/cold-or-covid-%e2%80%93-how-to-spot-the-difference/ar-BB198HIX?li=AAnZ9Ug&ocid=ASUDHP

The Guardian summarises some of the things we've learned about Covid-19 in the intervening 6 months: http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/what-we-actually-know-about-covid-19/ar-BB195XPb?ocid=ASUDHP I wasn't aware that the virus was actually found in saliva. I'll be a bit more proactive about...

I thought it was from a reliable source - can anyone confirm? It was certainly weeks rather than days ago.

Swollen eyes is what it feels like when I have a cold coming on - as though they're too big for the sockets. But the "gouging-out" bit is a new one to me.

Is it not also because, in Europe at least, the strain which currently appears to be circulating is the extremely-contagious-but-less-severe one, rather than the less-contagious-but-more-devastating one?

The drivers don't have to wear masks: they're sufficiently well isolated from everyone else now that the risk is deemed minimal - or at least that's how it is in London. The crossed seats are to keep passengers at a safe distance from the driver. You can't really block off the other seats...
