Good quick overview about how humans have interacted with diseases over time. Hint: it wasn't pretty and only with the development of vaccines/antibiotics did we start to make headway.

No, We Haven't Lived with Diseases for Millions of Years. They've Killed Us.

A history lesson.

Just tested positive for the first time that I'm aware. Felt rotten Friday but thought nothing of it until my mate text me this morning saying he had it, just feel slightly tired, what are the isolation rules now?

Not even sure what the rules are anymore tbh.

But rest up and i hope you're feeling better soon.

I don’t think there are any rules in UK anymore. Just guidance to stay home if you can.

I think the rule is you go to Laurence Fox's house and lick him

Sadly it hasn't been eradicated, it's here forever.

Of course. My lads circumstances are such that any infection could impact on the other resident in his supported housing. Long story short, parent of the girl was fed up with the scatter gun care his daughter was getting, so he and my ex negotiated with the council to receive their budgets directly, and employ a permanent team of carers. He built a house for them.

Lucky does not get 5% down the road.
