Pleased this thread is back on topic. I’m trying to encourage a couple of family members to get their jabs booked. Both had poor reactions to last years jab, and are rather reluctant this time round. I’m still surprised as one of them was hospitalised in the first wave and we didn’t think he’d make it through.
I, too, hope that @rowlandscastle444 doesn't leave the forum because of this thread and some posts on it. All life is precious, even during down days, and we should hold onto the hope that, in time, things will change and improve.
Dietary Supplements for Immune Function and Infectious Diseases
"Consuming adequate amounts of several vitamins and minerals—including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, selenium, and zinc—is important for proper immune function, and clinical deficiencies of these nutrients weaken immunity and can increase susceptibility to infections"
Been for flu jabs this morning at the local nurses' surgery. Small waiting room with 3 people already waiting and another 9 arrived behind us while we waited. Apart from OH and me, only one other person was wearing a mask and all but one of an age to be vulnerable to Covid and potential side effects.

Hello , saw some friends for a drink last night and one had Covid a few weeks ago & was quite poorly for a couple of days , however , this is the bit I find interesting , she got her husband to test even thou he was completely “fine “ and he also tested positive !
It was known right at the beginning that some people are just carriers, as in all viruses, that’s why they asked everyone to be aware and careful.
I remember when my son was small, he couldn’t have the measles and whatever went with it , vaccine, he never caught any of the childhood viruses that were about, when I questioned this with the doctor he said he would be a carrier. He did, finally get Measles when he was almost 14. Caught from his little sister, I just kept them in a dark room as the doctor advised and they were both fine.

There's always been asymptomatic cases. I guess we don't hear about them so much now because people only usually test if they've got symptoms and rarely even then!
