...and...finally...done.

I was under the impression that the sick note hadn't existed for a long long time. That they were replaced by fit notes. Many, many years ago - shortly after I got my last sick note I think, that's possibly around the year 2000. You'd think that Ministers, MPs, commentators, journalists...

Isn't gargling with salty water otherwise known, traditionally, as 'drowning'.

Dunno...it took 3 trips out specifically to post the spit sample back before I actually achieved it. The post box is inside the main local supermarket so thos 3 trips out cost me £34 (in total) that wouldn't have been spent then apart from the trips. The other closest post box in this area...

If magicians have such good mental health what's with the whole mutilation of, usually young, females. Chopping them in half, head removal, insertion of generally multiple sharp objects, throwing sharp objects to at them, etc... I mean....these, usually, guys definitely seem a bit unbalanced...

Are insurance companies considered scientists? If not then how is it relevant that scientists must agree to something before receiving data? All adoptees must agree to treat any kittens that we supply well, and not to use them for cooking with...is kind of null and void if the kittens are...

Were they also amazed to find that people given a diagnostic code for broken bones in the leg were found to have broken legs?

A lot of uses of the meaningless (in this context) word 'recovery'.

But....at the beginning of the day....why would an employer hirw someone they thought couldn't be trusted. And if they can be trusted then why assume they are lying about their health.

Wouldn't the finding that an antidepressant had no effect on depression call the competency of everyone who's prescribed it, to treat depression, since the year dot, into question?

Are billboards even a thing any more? I haven't seen one in use in years, and I used to live across the road from 2 of them. All they said for years was 'to advertise here call.....'

It's basically marketing by BigOat to try and sell more porridge oats ;)

IMO it's both an energy and a power limitation i.e. in the distant past, when I had more energy, I could feel that I had enough energy to, say, walk faster, I just couldn't utilise it, it was like my feet, ankles and lower legs were 'damaged' and were operating as well as they could, which was...

Pretty sure research found, thousands of years ago, that positive encouragement, using whips etc, could help people fight fatigue and allow people to perform better than they thought they could.

These already exist, in the form of 'flu' symptom reducers, and many other OTC medicines. In that they do nothing to fight the flu, in fact they reduce the symptoms of the immune system fighting it, AFAIK by interfering with aspects of the immune response, and possibly therefore prolong it ;)

Given that, until 2 years after covid hit, practically everyone in medicine, government, the media, and virtually every grouping apart from 'us' has point-blank denied that any disease does anything but kill people or is recovered from I would imagine the research base is rather small. The...

But....they don't day how large this map is. Given practically all things related to size are in Wales's, Europe's, Brazil's or more recently giraffes, just how big is this largest map of the brain?

numbers seemed confusing and contradictory. I can only assume that different graphics used data from different dates. Started off saying they had asked 20500 people for dna, then it (on a later graphic) said they had asked 20000, but only sent out 19,000 spit kits. So far.....it appears they...
