The anti-inflammatory thing is very interesting. It is assumed that inflammation is a good thing, but many diseases are caused by an excess of inflammation, eg. sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis. I have read the current information and don't know what to make of it. i should probably add, that I am on routine anti- inflammatory drugs.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
They've been talking about it again on R2 just now. Apparently they've had more calls and emails than ever before, so they have the resident doc back in to answer questions. I think it comes down to what other health issues you have @punkdoc, from what I could understand. That seems to be the general way of it though, doesn't it?
Glad you're on the mend @Ladybird4 - hope it continues
I've just had a 'letter from one of those private companies flogging health care. The words 'jumping' and 'bandwagon' spring to mind. The depths some of these people sink to... I'm currently debating an email....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
- At the doctors making sure I can get all my medicines delivered, including my immunosuppressants
- Making sure my Asda shop went through
- Buying seeds and compost so I have some colour inside my flat
- Making sure I have lots of books and DVDs and video games to keep me occupied (Think I'll finally start on my complete Poirot collection)
- Emailing my college lecturer to mention I probably won't be in for a while and asking about exams etc
- Cancelling my planned Manchester hotel break in two weeks
I'm severely asthmatic so definitely don't want to risk respiratory symptoms!
Some people might think 12 weeks is excessive but I was in hospital for 10 days in December and I still am not entirely 100% from that! I'd much rather live another 60ish years than 6 weeks!
That explains why there were lots of ibruprofen on the supermarket shelf this morning but no Anadin or paracetamol. Can't take ibruprofen as it affects my stomach but take Anadin occasionally to take the edge off my arthritis.
I hope you're ok @Cheyngel. When you're 'compromised' it makes sense to be careful. I think the exam situation is a difficult one. My nephew is a uni lecturer, and they've already had a confirmed case there, so I'm not sure what they're considering at this stage. His wife is a teacher too, so they've a double whammy. Most schools/unis/colleges are open up here though. Hope you can have a good birthday regardless. Have some extra cakes - they always help

Somehow I really doubt swallowing water will send the virus to your stomach acid...
@Fairygirl Asda shop is coming next Thursday, there might be a cheesecake hidden in the shop! We have an exam every module, which is about every 4 weeks or so. I'm PLANNING to not go in, even though it's a once a week evening class of ten people so the risk is low - but it's still there if that makes sense?
I think you need to just do what's right for you @Cheyngel. I expect you're right and the risk would be quite low, bu if there's no need for you to go, it's probably best to avoid if you possibly can. They may be cancelled anyway?
Just the one cheesecake?

So far I've spent it:
- At the doctors making sure I can get all my medicines delivered, including my immunosuppressants
- Making sure my Asda shop went through
- Buying seeds and compost so I have some colour inside my flat
- Making sure I have lots of books and DVDs and video games to keep me occupied (Think I'll finally start on my complete Poirot collection)
- Emailing my college lecturer to mention I probably won't be in for a while and asking about exams etc
- Cancelling my planned Manchester hotel break in two weeks
