    That's interesting Perki.
    After I caught Covid and then Long Covid, I went right off Tea & Coffee and now only drink Hot Chocolate and Water.

      If any of you are asthmatic or have COPD, consider getting yourself a nebuliser. They are now relatively inexpensive (they once were horrendously expensive) and the proper, sterile vials are available from pharmacies and even Amazon. I have just had to crack my one out again this evening as I was really starting to struggle to get the air in and the difference it makes is quick and lasting. Might save you a trip to the doctor or hospital, neither of which you really want to be in at the moment.

        Anyone know what the conspiracy theorists said would come after vaccine passports? It seems they've been fairly close to the mark so far, so I would like to prepare.

          Congratulations if you can get into either at the moment.

            I think it depends on the point of view of the conspiracy theorist.
            Could be one or more of the following, Lizards being revealed as the rulers of the world, Alien invasion, Martial Law, the "Second Coming", the Apocalypse, nuclear war (Taiwan or Ukraine), collapse of "civilisation", State enforced euthanasia, the Omega variant etc. Note some of these could have already happened.

                You have also missed the conspiracies Flat Earth, Concave earth, Young Earth , Moon landings, Mandela Effect, Mud Flood the list goes on..... The one thing about conspiracy theorists is they do love variety. They are not very keen on facts and evidence though :dunno:

                  I don't understand this vote yesterday for the Covid pass, we already had the same thing on the NHS App, which proved people were doubled jabbed and was supposed to be the thing that allowed youngsters into nightclubs. The only time I used mine was for getting my booster because I couldn't remember when I had my second jab, I showed the NHS App code to the vaccination volunteers and they used it to confirm I could have my booster. I thought people were using it to enter venues - this was months ago. Maybe parliament are just playing catch-up or we are stuck in a repeating time warp like Groundhog Day.

                    The whole thing is already being circumvented - Mrs C was speaking to someone yesterday who was going to an event that required proof of vaccination status and negative lateral flow tests. As lateral flow tests are increasingly like gold dust (Mrs C and her colleagues are being abused on a daily basis because they don't have them) she asked how they would cope with the shortage of tests - - not a problem, we just scan one and say it was negative and that is it, don't even have to do the test. It appears that one test code can be used repeatedly, but the most worrying thing there is that even someone testing positive can simply self declare as negative and chuck the test away.

                    Next up, drunk drivers are going to be allowed to self declare that they are fit to drive.

                            This Blurb in the morning paper was interesting:

                            An anonymous Canadian military officer may have shed new light on the origins of COVID-19, and how it was much more endemic than China let on
                            . The People’s Republic of China did not announce its discovery of COVID-19 until New Year’s Eve, 2019. But according to a Canadian who was in Wuhan in mid-October of that year (he was there to attend the 2019 Military World Games), the city of 11 million was already acting as if it was in the grip of a severe pandemic: Empty markets, few pedestrians and only a handful of cars on the road. What’s more, the Canadian delegation was so badly infected with a severe respiratory illness that a “quarantine section” was established on the plane home. The officer said all this to Jamie Metzl, a former advisor to the administration of U.S. President Bill Clinton who has become one of the more prominent critics of the official Beijing line on the origins of COVID-19. “Although we cannot yet say for sure whether the Military World Games Athletes were infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus … this possibility at very least deserves a full and credible investigation,” wrote Metzl in a follow-up blog post .

                              Can anyone explain how having proof of vaccination means you don't have covid.
                              If I was mixing in a crowd I'd prefer to be in a bunch of negative test people than a bunch of people with proof of vaccination.

                                It doesn't - requiring people to have a negative covid test prior to doing whatever would be better at stopping it spreading - but Boris isn't interested.

                                Omicron - cor - it's ripping through the UK like a rampant virus :biggrin:. The number of infections is South Africa is coming down thanks to herd immunity - I assume.

                                I've upped my daily dose of Vitamin D and Zinc - when Omicron hits me - I'm going to put up a massive defence.
