I try to make my kids take a dose of it everyday. But be careful not to take too much as you can overdose on it.

Too much is definitely not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also wondered about the knock-on effect in 'University' towns and cities, i.e. places where there is a significant change to the (active) population when these places are open, and also in smaller places that are centres for boarding schools. The issue here is about outbreaks in conditions where people are living together in numbers in close proximity (especially when and where these things traditionally happen, i.e. schools/education establishments over the autumn/winter) and what that means for the (immediate) wider area.

Spanish Flu for starters affected and killed large numbers of young adults (It attacked those with better imune systems!). I'm sure I also read that basic hygenie and malnourishment (cause - WW1) increased bacterial infection and it was this that caused most of the deaths and not the virus itself There were also 4 waves of Spanish Flu The other big problem was fever - anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin were not yet widely available. High temperatures are rather more manageable today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam-AVFC Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Le Tissier has made some comparison between mask wearers and the people who killed Anne Frank acting lawfully. This has unsurprisingly annoyed some people so it's trending on Twitter. Their classification really tickled me when I saw it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hardly known for being one of the great thinkers of our time, is he? I honestly don't get following footballers on social media. Almost without exception they're thick as shit and have nothing of value to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I’ve just arrived to watch my lad play a junior league football match. For Covid reasons all the parents must stand together in a huddle in the corner of the car park until the game starts. Obviously it would be unsafe to be stood spaced out at the side of the pitch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon, best to buy the Vit D + Vit K2 spray as the K2 counteracts some of the effects of too much D if you accidentally take too much The one I have says 30 daily doses but I'm not taking anywhere near that much as I'm not taking it daily and I'm not taking it three times a day. I'm just chucking a little extra into me so I take it very much in moderation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 The US of A has now surpassed Donald Trumps' favorite warning example Sweding in every imaginable cathegory when it comes to Covid-19. Including deaths/ 1 million population. Sweden has still made a mess out of a lot of things but the US still manages to be worse in every way.

We currently aren’t allowed any spectators, the FAW are considering trialling allowing up to 100 spectators in a selected area of the ground with no movement around the ground allowed. Ordinarily, we would have an attendance of about 300, spread across 2,500 seats and a large standing area. It’s nothing short of stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
