I was very sad talking to a friend whose terminally ill father had been in their local hospital last week and she & her husband had been obliged to wear masks to visit. She commented at how distressing and her father who is deaf couldn’t understand a word she was saying.
But she hadn’t had the courage (or perhaps knowledge) to remind the staff that hearing impairment was always a listed exemption.
Having read a number of medical scientific papers on the benefit of keeping high the blood levels of vitamin D, it was disturbing the other day to watch on YouTube an excellent video by the retired nursing tutor Dr Campbell that a 2014 paper showed that a 'scoolboy' error was made when determining the level of supplement in the winter time. The current level set by the government is 400iu whereas the correct dose should be in the region of 8000iu to keep blood
levels at a reasonable level.
A chronic lack of vitamin D in winter is heavily implicated in the spike in winter infections. The problem being that proper research is not carried out because it is so cheap. Private companies obviously aren't going to put millions into research into something where they will make no money. The crying shame is the NHS could do the trials and save thousands of people from an early death and billions wasted on looking after them.
Have chatted today with a group of pensioners who had all been pretty keen Covidians and first batch Jabees, I don't think the current scaremongering about "'flu" is going to work. Covid is now brushed off as being "just a cold", "'flu" is not the same as "proper influenza", masks are now a piece of nonsense and hospitals are to be avoided or visited as briefly as possible because "you catch nasty bugs there and they do their utmost to kill you with their dodgy treatments". The Covid Years seems to have destroyed what was left (after decades of nonsense from governments and media) of any trust in authority. Which is a jolly good thing - fool me once and all that!

I always remember sharing Neil Orrs study in Severalls Colchester from 81 about the effectiveness of masks during surgery

I NEVER wore a mask - and NEVER will !
