Oil doesn't. 

Au contraire my friend.

Quote

Start by making your cannabis honey. To do so, grind your cannabis to a medium consistency, and place it into a mason jar together with the coconut oil. Make sure you’re using decarboxylated cannabis to ensure your honey has psychoactive effects.
Seal the mason jar and place it in the water bath. Let it sit on low heat for roughly two hours to extract the cannabis into the oil.
Once the extraction has finished, strain the oil through cheesecloth to remove the pieces of cannabis flower. Remember to lightly squeeze out any remaining liquid from the cloth.
Add the infused oil to your honey and mix together.
Add the vodka, and mix until everything is fully combined.
Pour the vodka into a bottle, seal, and enjoy whenever you need a sweet pick-me-up!

More top quality pandemic journalism.

There's something going on with this sort of thing that says something about our society.  The guy coming out that shop who has now been shouted at and shamed on national television had a mask with him, he probably just forgot to put it on - it's easily done, we've never had to wear masks to go into a shop before.  It's totally understandable that some people would forget to wear masks sometimes - I went into the  gym without one the other day and had to go back out to the car to get it.  There's a lack of empathy and understanding about this sort of thing, you see it at a lwoer level with people sharing that meme about masks worn below the nose being like having your cock out.  Some people might find wearing them uncomfortable or the mask might've slipped down without them noticiing.  A large chunk of people seem to want to believe the worst about their fellow citizens and don't want to show any understanding.

It goes back to the people seeing Covid restrictions as based on some sort of moral code - grouse shooting bad, choir practice good, hench, T drinking football lads bad, tea drinking introverts good.

Nah.

I think the problem with option 3 is that even with extreme care, they are likely to get fucked in the process. 

Sadly, that's the case.  It's just like any other disease, most who get it will be ok but to a small minority it will be fatal.    As soon as people get their heads around this the sooner we can move on.

Maybe the guy who posted on Facebook took the time to do some reading...

Doubt it.  Not really sure quotes from the president of Belarus are the best thing to use to back up their argument.

Nottingham now has the highest positive rate for the UK. Local MP doing her nut asking why they are not announcing anything until Monday.

Madrid is fucked because the Spaniards mainly went back to offices quickly and also because they opened nightclubs

The hospitality in London hasn’t been that busy because most people only travel into the city centre for work and then will visit pubs and restaurants in the evening before returning to the borough. WFH means these people aren’t visiting the city centre at all. Not to mention tourist footfall is a tiny fraction of what it was pre covid

 

 

London is more than the city centre though. Literally millions of people live in the boroughs in high density by UK standards. 

The population of Tower Hamlets is 300,000. Low rates of Covid there isn't down to WFH.

I know they’ve been talking about it for a while, however wee bit of info for you folks out there. The wife did a review of all the positive cases and blood work that was done in their practice, all the significantly ill cases had low vitamin d levels. Seems to be a very strong correlation between the two. If a tub of vitamin d supplements for a couple of quid can help reduce the harm then im gonna start taking them.

The Scots traditionally have lower levels of Vit D do they not? Was it not also put forward for a potential factor in our above average MS cases as well? 

Another thing we can blame on the shite weather.

That and our horrendous diet. The Scandinavians get through winter by actually eating the shit-tons of oily fish in their waters while we look sideways at any fish that isn't white and covered in batter or the occasional bit of salmon as a treat.

Got a few off my work now.  Everyone hopes that they get a isolate alert.  I don’t.  f**k sitting in the house for two weeks.  You don’t know how I live.  Two weeks.  f**k that.

My Orthopedic specialist who I did zoom calls with as he was shielding reccomended vitamin D and said my daily statin are helpful too. I also swallow a multi vitimins, fish oil and glucosamine daily all in all a few quid a month and if it could help if you get bad aids or covid it will be well worth it.

edit this was a report on statins - In four studies of nearly 9,000 patients with COVID-19, including three large-scale studies that adjusted for multiple confounding variables, those taking statins had a 30% lower risk of fatal or severe disease when compared with those not taking statins

Option 3 is the only realistic option.  Ask the vulnerable to, at he very least, take extreme care or shield and let the other 99% of people try and get their lives and get the economy moving again.

Except they’ve worked out it isn’t 1% and 99%

Where do you draw the line for vulnerable?...over 80s, over 75s or over 70s? Obese, other medical conditions? Then factor in everyone who lives in the same household as those at risk. Add in care staff and their households and you’re apparently approaching 25% of the population.

You can’t lock up a quarter of the population indefinitely under a “herd immunity” solution when we don’t even know how long any natural immunity lasts - people could be reinfected 3 months or 6 months after getting an all clear.

Until a safe and effective vaccination is distributed we’re almost certainly going to be taking this fairly unsatisfactory start/stop approach to managing spikes and local outbreaks. Only at that point will it be managed as per the option 3 - as per current influenza.
