If you could point me to the website where I can get my appointment for my 30 second diet that will massively reduce my risk of being hospitalised this winter I'd be grateful.

I was being facetious of course. I have sympathy with what you're saying, the state of our public health is really poor although the government does use various carrots and sticks to encourage us in the right direction, not enough in my view
I've been impressed with how often my NHS app has worked, and with how little effort from myself.
Just like US nukes: US military finally retires floppy disks used by nuclear weapons systemOh, they've moved on from the 8 inch floppy disks. Bravo!
I learned my trade on punch tape, then punch cards, in the 80s. How far we've come.
Can anyone tell me how to get unjabbed after the fact? It’s been a long week.
ANDREW NEIL: Time to punish Britain's five million vaccine refuseniks
ANDREW NEIL: There are still 5 million unvaccinated British adults, who through fear, ignorance, or sheer stupidity refuse the jab. In doing so they endanger not just themselves but the rest of us.www.dailymail.co.uk
What is interesting about this piece is the commentary underneath. I know it's a heavily self-selected group but it does seem to me that crackpottery has become endemic.
It's also interesting how a moderate and well-reasoned piece is misrepresented by an inflammatory headline. "Never mind about the arguments, let's just get people yelling at each other"
I think that this argument ignores the fact that under normal circumstances, hospitals aren't overwhelmed by people with lifestyle-related medical issues. This is in contrast to the current situation where the unvaccinated are putting incredible strain on the system - in some cases leading to the deaths of vaccinated people from treatable conditions because they can't access the NHS because of all those sick unvaccinated people. I don't want to get into the stats about hospital numbers falling etc because I don't know the details, but I do think that comparing lifestyle-choice hospitalisations to hospitalisations of the unvaccinated is an apples and oranges situation.
A rough calculation suggests that as an adult you are between 4x and 5x more likely to be hospitalized if you are unvaccinated though.
It appears to be a bit of both, but in what proportion I have no idea. Some aspects of long covid are completely different to more standard post-viral fatigue.
If that 2007 paper's conclusions are sound, having obese people in our close social/kinship groups makes us more likely to follow suit by reducing our intolerance of it.
Yes; it seems to me that this is correct. I feel that you do indeed get used to your surroundings and perceptions of what "normal" body sizes are. After living in Canada for a few years, I made my first trip to Rome about 20 years ago, and was shocked at how most people appeared to me to be almost anorexic. After a few days I realized that that was normal. I was then horrified on my return to Canada at what seemed to be rampant obesity. But again, after a short period, it all seemed normal.
Yes, that's true, but still, there's overwhelmed and there's overwhelmed. Surely you would agree that what we've seen since the start of the pandemic isn't the same as the pre-pandemic situation.
I can personally attest to the truth in that statement. What I experienced was very, very different to any form of post-viral fatigue I've had in the past.
A very good question, for which we clearly can't claim to have a certain answer.
