Re: Getting Sick
Recent studies have indicated that the single best preventative measure is to wash your hands frequently, and avoid shaking hands with people.

Re: Getting Sick
My prefered cold cures are Tiffy (cold tablets that you can find in all chemists or 7/11s) and lime juice with honey - with a splash of rum to make you feel better.
Re: Getting Sick
Rest, good food and paracetamol.
If you are under the weather, don't make it worse by trying to fight it off with anything energetic - ignore it and fight through it type of attitude.
get well soon...

Re: Getting Sick
Eat well, ( balanced diet with plenty of greens) exercise, get some sunlight everyday, stay away from sick peoplehow to keep well?
visit the wat at least once/week

Re: Getting Sick
Interesting. For a while I have been reluctant about shaking hands, but it's pretty hard to avoid without appearing extremely rude. I used to say it was the one thing I agreed with Trump on. A year ago I attended a 40th birthday and as my friends Dad offered his hand I tried to avoid it, telling him I had a minor cold (which I did). The guy told me, in the most un-patronising way possible that it was very unlikely I would make him sick by shaking his hand.armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2020 10:28 am Recent studies have indicated that the single best preventative measure is to wash your hands frequently, and avoid shaking hands with people.
And I took some notice, as he was the "Medical officer of health" in this area, there are six or 8 of them in the country (NZ).
I wasn't about to argue and say "but Donald Trump says..."
I always had the idea that some guy who has just wiped his face shakes my hand, then I touch my face a bit later. But according to this guy it doesn't really happen like that.

And avoid door handles, light switches, stair rails, elevator buttons, the self-serve menus at McDonalds, etc., basically anything that someone else has recently touched.armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Sat Jan 04, 2020 10:28 am Recent studies have indicated that the single best preventative measure is to wash your hands frequently, and avoid shaking hands with people.

so now we have; wear long pants, long shirts, a hat, shoes & socks and cover any exposed parts with DEET
wear a dust mask & gloves as well.
sounds like a plan
