I spent 5 months last year in shielding. I wish I had some advice for you on how to cope, but I really don't.

We got a new greyhound in time for this year's four months of shielding, and that did help.

I’ve had the misfortune of attending the gold coast hillsong church a few years back and more recently the large Glow church due to extended family commitments I couldn’t escape. My memory of Hillsong was the long and overly enthusiastic tithing pitch and the terrible loud musical performances and ...

Life expectancy, of someone reaching 80 years of age, is 89. Hence, someone dieing of Covid at 83, is not actually achieving their life expectancy. https://knoema.com/atlas/United-Kingdom/topics/Demographics/Age/Life-expectancy-at-age-80-years Yep One of my clients is 81, still gets out on his bike...

Can someone please clarify for me please - what does this mean "X amount of people have died within 28 days of a positive covid test?" Does that mean they've died due to covid or that they've died due to any number of reasons but still had a positive test anyway? If it's the latter, its scandalous....

It's killed a few million worldwide, or do you think that's a government/health community lie? I certainly think the numbers have been used to stoke fear. Look at you for example. Almost all of the people in the UK had accompanying CLINICAL health conditions. Hundreds of thousands of those souls we...

Can't really imagine having this opinion. Bit shitty. Quite a bit shitty.

You not wearing a mask in a shop is putting their staff in particular at greater risk of infection. Might even result in that store having to close for 2 weeks. Still, there’s always Amazon. What if all the staff have been vaccinated? With that 100% effective jab that destroys all Covid cells on co...

I don't see much discussion of those post transplant or otherwise highly compromised immune systems. There was talk of there being more guidance for the CEV this week, but nothing. I know from my contact with respiratory and renal post-transplant people, the CEEV perhaps, that any guidance will basi...

Few things brought me more joy last summer than hearing and seeing swifts over the garden during the long months of shielding. So much so that although I'm back at work now, I'm scanning the skies whenever possible, they should be here any day now. The last year has altered lots of perspectives. Yes...

I think it's more a case that situations and options are planned and practiced so that if and when a situation occurs during a game there is a planned move to handle it. Which it often looks like pre-planned moves or training ground responses. But rugby remains an instinctive game and a good player...

The first time I saw it was a man tooting his van horn and whistling out of the window at a girlfriend. We were 14. That might seem minor to you, but put yourself in the position of a hardly more than child on the street getting that from an adult man. Yes, I believe nearly all women have had experi...

Thanks. That’s very insightful. Have racing friends who think modern turbo trainers and the insane amounts of off season hours pros do is a big influence. They've always done large amounts of off-season riding though. Whether they're doing it better, I don't know, it may matter exactly how they app...

I listened to an hour of this on the in-laws zoom call the other night. It's basically Made-in-Buckinghamenders Street for people isn't it?

Nobody is doubting cycling has been, and may still be, extremely dirty. If you can't see the inherent difference between the €500k you get for winning the tdf, plus millions in endorsements and sponsorship and being an international star, compared to being the best at a lower tier sport where you g...

The very common "cavalry" misspelling as "calvary" now means that you're going to bring a symbol of Christ's crucifixion.

That's now evidence too, it was said before a hearing.

My in-laws are looking at heading out to Dubai, simply as it's one of the places most likely to have covid under control and a holiday there is less likely to be cancelled. I see the logic, but I think I'd prefer Cornwall. Are they influencers? No. No, they're not influencers. Bit confused by that ...

Is this whole argument because nobheads use the term holiday for abroad, and staycation for in the UK? We have booked UK stuff for the summer, prepared for it to be cancelled but think that's an acceptable thing to be doing, even in my circumstances. Prepared for it to be some time before we book ab...

Just back from being vaccinated to the news that my brother in law is needing to seek medical advice about 10 days into his covid illness.

Ignoring much of this, we've had two approaches from large GP practices already to be part of public health drives in the coming months. Trying to avoid the appalling dry tinder comments, there are a lot of people in those older groups at high risk who are in very poor health. The assumption that lo...

They've had to use the specialist cystic fibrosis unit at my hospital this time.

Drag, people die shortly after getting hair cuts. Especially if they were nearly gone before the hair cut. We've had people die shortly after gym sessions in the time I've been a PT. Vaccinate enough people and some are going to die shortly afterwards. Over the next year hundreds of millions will be...

Covid suffering lurker here, Day Nine of symptoms. Presumably got it from my father while I was giving him a lift to the supermarket. God only knows where he got it, because he's been very careful.

Back row - you'll have plenty of time to think about it, likely not to get it this year.

You should though, contribute to general immunity and protect people who can't have the vaccine or for whom it doesn't work so well.

The argument is that you can't say there are no changes to the brain based on current scan technology, so you can't necessarily state someone is safe to play or uninjured from their MRI.
