It's a talking head video. Just treat it like a podcast.
Also check out the many professionals who are saying the official RDA for vitamin D is much too low. Many were published well before Covid made the issue fashionable.
Vitamin D is vitally important for immune health. Below is a 2017 peer reviewed report alleging the RDA dosage calculations are wrong by a decimal point. Vitamin D toxicity begins somewhere beyond 30,000 IU so the RDA doses he recommends are well within that limit.

The 'Scandinavia' comment, and this post above seem to have nothing at all to do with the YouTube vid I linked to.
If there is a relevance, please explain, clearly, instead of strange references that seem to be only for those already 'in the know'.
What is? The vid I linked to, or 'Scandinavia'?
I have no idea what either of you are talking about.
Sorry P.B.
I was told about a similar story regarding a Scandinavian research lab.
As I said.. I dont watch youtube on my phone.. its just too awkward

Not an extensive study by any means, but we were given free, examination gloves that we usually have buy ourselves for our special needs son during the pandemic. These were from an assignment procured from China the government used. Very poor quality indeed, most just tore when trying to put on...
I wouldn’t be too surprised if the quality of other PPE was inferior as well, given that there was allegedly, some dodgy deals going on when the government was dishing out jobs to cronies who bought PPE at a really low cost and sold high. Just my thoughts.

It will be no surprise to me to find, at some time in the future when the dust has largely settled, that eye wateringly large amounts of "our" money has been wasted/mismanaged during this crisis. Of course no one will be held accountable and we all know how "incredibly" hard our top people have been working? (dear God, how tired am I of hearing that said) Aren't any of the lesser minions working hard too? They never get mentioned and I suspect they are the folk who are actually getting the job done.

Government debt is 'interesting' and unfathomable (to me anyway!)
It has often been said that the covid crisis has incurred more borrowing at any time since WW2 so it might be noteworthy to note that the Treasury has only recently paid off the WW1 debt (and from the following link seems to have rolled it over anyway!)

I think the only certainties are the inflation will be allowed (encouraged?) and interest rates will remain low.....however financial wisdom suggests that these two aims are incompatible.....as I said, 'interesting' times to come....

We got our 2nd AZ invites yesterday
Last time I was 2 days in front - I am 2 years older ( the person administering last time asked our 'panda driver' why we didnt just attend together..)
Im 5 days AFTER the Panda Driver this time.. weird..

We're lucky enough to have had both ours (Pfizer) too. On both occasions our appointments (we were born 3 years apart but I don't think that impacted?) were half a day apart and administered at our local small community treatment centre (what an excellent place that is, like a mini hospital where they do so much more than your GP can manage).
On both occasions we went together in the Panda - what else? - and the first time, as I was leaving Mrs J at the reception desk, I said to the receptionist "I'll see you again this afternoon when I come back for mine". She said "can I see your appointment letter?" followed shortly by "just you go on in with your wife" so we were "done" together. The second jag was pretty much a repeat performance.
Unusual for "officialdom" to display such common sense these days?
We got a phone call to invite my partner for her first jab. As she's in a wheelchair, and I therefore have to wheel her in, I asked if both could be done together. Question was too difficult for the administrator.
On the day of her jab, nurse asked, " are we doing you too?". The result of this was that she put me on the list to be called if they had spare capacity any day, due to refusals, cancellations, no shows, etc. The following week, a call around 10am, "can I attend at 3pm" Took a millisecond to say yes.
Second jabs, 10 days apart.

Got my text on Tuesday inviting me to have the jab, and letter at home when I got in Thursday. Need to get it booked
Depending on where you are it's surprisingly easy to get booked. I heard on the news I was eligible and had booked one for the following day via the website.
I did have to travel a bit but only half an hour or so.

Up here in Scotland you get "the blue envelope" through your door telling you where and when to go. My youngest boy got his last week but they wanted him to go to the big facility they've set up at other side of the city which could mean around half a day away and he's got an 18 month old to look after so he rang up, explained the problem and was told to ring a phone number and book at a centre nearer to him - all his neighbours, including his essential worker wife, have had their's administered locally. He's now rung three times but no appointments available at the 3 centres within reach. Of course they've cancelled his original appointment too. So now he's ringing twice a day but still being told no appointments available!
I wish he'd just rung us and asked us to childmind on that day but he said "Dad, you guys do quite enough of that already, I didn't want to bother you again and thought it would be easy to book locally".
So we all await the outcome. Seems strange there's so little "slack" in the system?
PS. He's the last adult in the family to get "done"

This is where my family and I feel lucky where we are. Our doctors surgery is only four miles away in the next village. Letter or phone call and head to the large car park that caters for all the sports and leisure facilities. Stay in car, directed to one of three lines of vehicles, window down, bare upper arm, get the jag, then move off.
My first jab was 60 miles away, second jab was booked at the same time for the 4th June. last week I had a text saying I could book my second jab earlier, so went on the NHS website it says the appointment had to be cancelled before booking a new one, so decided not to take the risk and stayed with the original date. which has worked out quite well as I have to go to Plymouth this week for work and can get my jab near Exeter on the way back.
Very strange around here theses tall of closing several centers as they arnt busy enough
2nd jab done and dusted, the vaccination center had moved from Westpoint to Greendale business park, same level of service no queuing, straight in jabbed wait for 15 minutes before being allowed to drive off, I rode a motorbike there, jabbed in right arm which did get a bit stiff on the way home in traffic, not good for throttle control! but, 24 hours later, no side effects this time.

Hi Jock.
Tell him to just go to a local centre and explain the situation.
They will take him.
My wife is a red cross volunteer and she has been working at the centres and thats what they do in Ayrshire.
Thank's Murphy. I can see how that could work. He's been ringing the "faceless" appointments phone line and I can just imagine the operator looking at his/her screen which is saying No Appointments Available, so that's the answer he gets. However a "real" person at a centre might think "Oh yes, this chap is keen to get his jag, I'll just slip him in here" and no-one will be inconvenienced and it's another statistic towards the great total. I'll tell him to give it a try.
Thanks again
Jock

We had ours a few weeks ago.
It was meant to be at TECA in Aberdeen - 20 miles away - but managed to rearrange it online at a local surgery 4 miles away. Only problem was i got the clotting one (forget the name, the Oxford one?) and was badly ill (tired/sore and generally spaced) for a few days afterwards.
In fact the first night i got up at 1AM and puked...might have been the bottle of wine i had though as it came out red...!
