The middle ground offers the least amount of danger, overall. Total lockdown has to be temporary. It is analogous to repairing a car, you have to turn the engine off. But to drive the car, you have to have a running motor. Too rapid or even total exposure would overwhelm our health systems, fill hospitals …

Covid-19 Who Should Wear a Mask?
Mask use has gone from nearly 0% to nearly 100% for those who have to go out and share airspace with others. Mask use has been normalised in China but was seen as weird or paranoid in the West, perhaps. Even President Trump said that he would not be wearing a mask, probably ensuring his …
Covid-19 prevention of infection
Isolation give the virus nowhere to go, but people need to go shopping and precautions are 100% necessary. During the entire expedition to the supermarket, do not touch your face, hair or anything. Best to wear disposable gloves and take them off when you get back into your car. Be aware of what is inside …
Corona USA
I fear for the health of Americans. So quick to claim how perfect they are in their response to the pandemic, so harsh on the response of their rivals, so quick to shutter their borders, so lax in controlling the spread internally and the result of the President's leadership? Right-wing cult followers of the Trump …
Progress of the Virus
What the numbers mean? Italy has about 5,000 new infections per day, it was about 8,000, so that has started to reduce based on their actions to isolate and confine the spread, which is a slow way to reduce the virus, but may be the only way until a vaccine can be used. The death …
Mutation incubation
The UK policy of allowing the spread of the Coronavirus Covid-19 to leave behind 'herd immunity' sounds cruel and heartless and therefore appeals to the heart of Government. It is the kind of pseudo-intellectual postulated science that Dominic Cummings would approve of, the practise of 'natural eugenics' at work, to thin down the population to …
Pandemic Panic
The coronavirus, Covid-19 has spread to about 50 countries in a few weeks. The WHO does not want to call it a 'Pandemic' yet, maybe because the term is thought to induce panic, and therefore the uncontrolled spread of this highly infectious respiratory disease which can induce pneumonia and in some cases is fatal. It's …
Antibiotic Resistance
The WHO now recognise that the use of antibiotics is causing a health volcano that is now about to erupt. If you have a cold or the flu, refuse antibiotics. Tell your doctor you will use traditional methods such as rest, water and healthy foods, vitamins and echinacea (to help generate mucus that expels the …
Antibiotics and Obesity
The Fat Drug - Antibiotics overused extensively in farming is not only breeding super bugs that are immune to most current antibiotic treatments but killing off our intestinal flora (good bacteria) from an early age, resulting in poor digestion and ultimately obesity.
UK to urge Global Clampdown on Antibiotics
It is now scientifically and medically recognised that antibiotic use must be extremely limited if they are to remain effective in life threatening situations. David Willetts, the science minister, will propose far-reaching measures that would clamp down on the overuse of antibiotics by GPs and hospital doctors. He will also try to restrict usage on …
