It was to stop health systems from being overwhelmed, in some cases they were,
trying for herd immunity as you mention would have for sure resulted in much
worse outcomes.

we had harder lockdowns than the UK, masking compliance was pretty well
universal. The overall death rate per population was around 1/2 that of the UK.
For a long time period it was below but some of the later strains seemed more
virulent.

I'd managed to avoid it until we visited the septic isles last April and I used
the tube. Despite the then requirement for masks on PT L and I were in a
minority travelling there's be one or two others.

Sure they're not listening in real time. I am of no interest. Hence my comment
ref my exercise scheme. Can they be keeping that data, absolutely. It is
unlikely ever to be of use but given we know that the US and presumably others
tries to obtain the encryption keys for SIM cards[1] on the off chance that one

It isn't exclusively airborne. Transmission can be from contaminated

Six months isn't exactly durable, and the more recent omicron variants
appear not to even confer that much immunity. I know it's anecdotal but
my wife was infected twice in a space of about two months - this was
after being one of the ones infected at the very start, and being fully
up to date with vaccinations.

Herd immunity has been attained through vaccination rather than
infection, and isn't terribly effective against more recent variants.

It reduces the chance of somebody who is masked and infected infecting
other people. The idea is to look after others, in the hope that they
will also look after you.

It would take acres of warehouses to hold all that data, 99.99% of which
is useless. The cost would be ridiculous. In reality, they pick and
choose likely targets. Which is how real criminals get away with it.
They pick and choose individual cards, not every one.

OTOH, private corporations do have a reason to keep your data when they
make money off it.

Isn't it fair to say that the vast majority of infections were airborne though?

The WHO pages state:
'People may also become infected when touching their eyes, nose or mouth
after touching surfaces or objects that have been contaminated by the virus.'

Which certainly makes it sound like an edge-case for infection.

Hellbeans, a thread on BP and old fart ailments with a zillion posts,
who knew?

CBA to read every post, but, I got a Withings BPM Connect a while ago
and am pretty pleased with it. You can't set it to do random readings
over a 24h period unfort, but, in theory you could wear it all day and
just press the button now and then when you want a reading.

Someone (currently in the slammer I believe) once claimed to have a
solution for continuous BP monitoring with a "special algorithm". After
lots of investment, people started to get curious what the secret was,
the whole thing turned out to be a hoax.

I think a bicycle is just 4-5x more efficiënt than walking. So an hour of
either is about the same, only 5km on foot and about 20-25km on a bicycle.
Different muscles though, I'll give you that. I do both but find cycling
infinitely more rewarding.

key for that in my case is beer and bread. Without them I'd be well on the

There are two important factors which are largely ignored when looking
at weight loss: probably (IMO) the more influential is inheritance. If
you come from a family where weight is a problem, look out! The second,
and very important is gut flora. The organisms living there have a huge
influence on your physique. Replacing or adding to these can make an
astounding difference.

Also cycling is easier on the knees, I have difficulty walking distance
due to arthritis.

But not cycling. During my recent little trip we were doing 30-40miles a
day and occasionally nearer 50. With full camping gear on bikes.

I can recommend finding a diet that suits, and then staying with it. I’ve

BP is gently falling too.

But in reality, it is diet (not dieting) plus exercise (even walking)
that is the best medicine.

Currently getting used to eating less, as needed to "fuel up" while away.

As it happens I just clicked through a link on the beeb to an NHS page
that also stated that losing weight was one of the most important ways
to lower BP.

But what about those people who are not overweight but still have high
BP? Sounds unfair to me, cos we then have to do the other things, like
cutting down on alcohol and salt!

I've got used to cooking without salt (mainly) and where I do, it's
always sea salt and just look at me - a fine figure of - um - a crippled
old dribbler.

I think another glass of faux port is called-for - after all, no-one
will notice - I've got five gallons of it maturing...

Yes getting used to eating less is the ultimate key to any diet (IMHO)
In short, if you feel full, you've eaten too much. Get used to feeling
ever so slightly hungry.

I'm a shadow of my former boozy self. Still drink 16 litres of Spanish
beer per week.

Mostly steam veg or fry in olive oil. No salt. No sugar.

Meat alternate days.

Lots of salads for lunches.

Weighed myself yesterday - 77kg.

BP 130/80. Controlled with drugs.

There is no right way.

Family history (paternal) lots of heart failure. As kids we were fed
bucketloads of salt and sugar. Dunno if it's just coincidence.

that's not right. Evidence, and some evangelising of this evidence by Dr
Michael Moseley, advocates a diet higher in protein as this will make you
feel more sated than spuds, cereals and fruit.

MM points to evidence that people who have a bowl of coco-pops for
breakfast are more likely to still feel hungry and want to scoff cakes for
elevensies. Have some bacon & eggs (without the toast or fried slice[1]) or
liver and fava beans (without the Chianti[1]) for breakfast and you will
feel sated and less likely to snack between meals.
