I saw some speculation that vitamin D levels might be significant and that is affected by skin colour and climate, but idk

I’m hoovering up vitamin C and D supplements, magnesium and zinc. I was warned to get my vitamin D up a few years ago so I already was, but the others are extra.

Those of you looking for Vitamin C - you will find soluble C tablets in Sainsbury’s (even the ‘local’ branches) for £1.35 per tube of 20. It’s £1.75 in Tesco and even more in Superdrug for an almost identical product (£2.75 for C and zinc IF you find it). Superdrug also doing 3 for 2 on vitamins which mitigates some of the high prices.

There's some debate over whether vitamin supplements work and I'm certainly not sure that vitamin C will do much more than eating oranges or drinking juice - even though I've been taking them as well. Don't worry about going without them basically.
Vitamin D supplements and zinc will probably make more of a difference.

Shocked and slightly terrified that Bobby Pesto seems to be doing some actual journalism.
I’ve been sent the criteria issued to doctors for those #covid19 patients who are allowed to be transferred from hospitals to the emergency Nightingale ones that have been set up all over the UK to increase intensive care capacity. And what they show is that...— Robert Peston (@Peston) April 16, 2020
Short version - the makeshift mega-hospitals, like the one at the Excel centre, aren't taking patients most seriously at risk and the NHS trusts thinking about sending COVID patients there also have to provide equipment and medical staff to look after them. The Excel centre apparently has 19 patients.
― ShariVari, Friday, 17 April 2020 08:02 (four years ago) link
the complaint from doctors right from the start is that the nightingales weren’t going to have adequate staffing because, well, the nhs isn’t adequately staffed but nice to see pesto pretending to do some journalism because A Secret Source sent him a memo and he gets to feel all woodward and bernstein

― xyzzzz__, Friday, 17 April 2020 08:07 (four years ago) link
I’m not sure the Nightingale story is what is being suggested - they don’t have the equipment for people likely to have serious complications/be most at risk, so those people should be prioritised in real hospitals?

Also hospital trusts have fewer non-covid cases at the moment so if they need free beds for people less serious or recovering, they likely have them without having to send the patient and their staff to a Nightingale.

The bit about it being designed for less serious patients, yes. I am not sure it was reported at the time that NHS trusts would have to send their own staff to look after any patients.

The things I do, so that you don’t have to do them....This isn’t so interesting but it is a good guide to responses to that Labour report.

Also, the JLM response to the report leak was....not good.
Responding to #LabourReport, it’s much more important to focus on why it seems that holocaust deniers weren’t acted against and so many complaints were simply ignored in 2016-2018 than on suspending local party branches for talking about the report, no?— James Schneider (@schneiderhome) April 17, 2020
