I was told by my GP a few years ago, that Vitamin D was the only thing seriously worth considering paying for and taking in supplemental form.

So I'm glad I took his advice.

I have seen a few academic papers on the correlation.

It does seem worth the benefit of taking Vitamin D generally in any case, provided its safe to do so in individual circumstances.

A Vitamin D supplement is pretty much the only supplement recommended by the NHS as worth taking.

Most multivitamins and supplements are a 'waste of money'

"Not only are vitamin and mineral supplements a waste of money, they can in some instances actually harm the body," reports The Guardian.

When do we think that America will start letting UK nationals back in? Im getting married in Vegas in June 2021 and im starting to panic that we will still be banned.

The honest answer is nobody really knows, although the issue may be that you are reluctant to come rather than not being allowed if the UK and US numbers stay the same!

This Nevada journalist might be a useful follow, she provides daily update on the state numbers and a weekly wrap on Friday if you just want an overview

UK,polling on masks

Nearly 9 in 10 Britons say it is either essential or important to wear a facemask in public to stop the spread of coronavirus

While a large majority agree that it is important to wear a facemask in various situations, there is also strong support for government rules making it mandatory to wear one in shops

I was in Aldi today and would estimate the large majority weren’t wearing masks, unfortunately.

Just skip it mate, you’d feel dreadful if you caught it after knowing it was a risk, especially if you then passed it onto a vulnerable person.

I bet that changes today though.

You have a car as a friend?

Only face exposure? Not arms, legs etc?

To be fair, I should have phrased it as everyone who doesn't have a conflicting medical condition and\or is safe to take it but I thought most people would be smart enough to realise that. You obviously aren't.

I love the way you hand out medical advice after slating me for doing it, when judging by your comments on Vitamin D, you know even less about it than me.




If you actually spent some time doing some research on COVID instead of spending all your day bashing the government you might come across as less of a fool.

I spent some time yesterday around the Shropshire, Cheshire and Wales border, including inside an Aldi, and masks were few and far between.

I saw only a handful all day after visiting a fair few local shops in two different towns. When I was back in Liverpool, it was clear that they were far more common.

Perhaps the different infections rates and demographics (far smaller population density in these areas) has played a part in it, so I can't see a big surge today.

I bet that changes today though.

You'd hope so, but it will be interesting to see how or if businesses actively enforce the rule; you'd hope they do, however it will boil down to pupil acceptance.
