    I have been on vitamin D supplements for years after they found low levels in tests for some other problems. I was told the best natural way to keep your levels up was to make sure you got plenty of exposure to sunlight. On the box of capsules it tells anyone using these tablets to keep out of strong sunlight.<laugh>

    there's a lot to be said for old gittery! i must admit, however, that i view supermarket visits as exercise. i loaded a step-counter app onto my phone at the beginning of october and shopping is one of my two main ways of getting the count up. i do also quite like looking for reduced items (alas, the supermarkets have all stopped their end-of-day mega reductions, which is a pain) and browsing various magazines.

    Castleton & Winnets Pass are beautiful places to visit. My favourite place in the High Peak was the waterfall at middle Black Clough up the Woodhead Pass

    My lad has just messaged me, “ how’s covid treating you dad “ I told him, “ she’s treating me brilliantly, eat what I want, drink what I want, sit on my arse all day, no work for a week and not one single nag “ in fact I might marry her if I can get your mum to leave…I was kidding of course Karen would never leave..

    Mushrooms and Fish/Sea food are good natural sources of vitimin D, tablet wise 4,000 iu is recomended re covid, also high dose Zince 40mg and Vit C 1,000 is recomended.

    One of the frustrating and annoying things about this last 2 years is the virtaully zero advice given on what could be done to improve peoples health in relation to covid, remember the gyms shutting ?

    80% of covid deaths have being in the clinical obeese yet this issue as never being addressed, we have a Prime Minister in his New Year speech telling people to get the booster because it's easier than loosing weight, we really are living in a clown world.

    And we haven’t. Not we obviously, encouraged more nurses or made a carers wage a realistic wage.
    Or put more into social care
    Anyone see the Ed balls programme on the care crisis?

    Clown world - good description. It's plain crazy and I just don't get it.

    Heard a bit on the news today the 7,500 air purifiers are to be distributed to schools, after two years with the virus are they now inferring that the virus can be filtered out of the air?

    Doctors have been told they shouldn't tell people they are vastly overweight. It might give them a complex.
    People spending a bit of time cooking instead of buying junk food, ready meals and take aways would help as well.

    I suspect they'll be ozone based, which could kill certain bugs. If they're not, and relying on physical filters, there's a real risk that they'll be spreading the bugs after concentrating them in the filter.

    Interestingly, covid cases reduced during higher ozone incidents during lockdown, although it is a very loose correlation.

    And would poor quality filtration be the reason care homes and hospitals are one of the worse places for spreading and catching covid ?

    There's quite a bit of research that Hepa/UV Filters work well with a 99% reduction, if only the Track and Trace money could of being spent better !

    It's a known factor in hospitals, where the need for warmth and comfort as well as isolation, is factored above the need for adequate air changes.

    It's another example of the lack of joined up thinking in the NHS.
