    I've heard drinking the spunk of wealthy Swindonians gives some protection.

    Form an orderly queue please (2m apart).

        Turmeric?

        Seriously, that stuff does sweet FA unless you're willing to ingest pretty much your body weight of the stuff.

        And! Stop adding so much to curry! No genuine curry receipe needs tablespoons of it, it doesn't add to the flavour and just stains everything it touches.

            It seems the majority of corona patients who flake out do so because breathing even oxygen through a mask becomes too arduous due to fluid building up in the lungs.

            But what about the equivalent of an "iron lung", to actually bypass the lungs and how about Liquid Breathing technology, as seen in that film The Abyss?

            Any thoughts? I can only assume that if there aren't enough masks then there certainly won't be enough iron lungs or other advanced equipment.

            Seems I was ahead of my time back in April (Old Greg, take note! )

                Hehe! You forgot to hover!

                Actually, a few of their articles are quite interesting if you ignore their weather hyperbole, Wayne Rooney obsession, makeover trivialities, "you're doing it wrong" idiocies, "X can give you cancer" hypochondria, anything political, unhinged reader comments, etc, etc

                But the weird thing is that after reading a Daily Rooney article, it always feels like one has read everything three or four times. Maybe they think their readers are so stupid that everything has to be repeated several times for it to sink in!
