@variablepulserate It ruined my summer. It's now early autumn.
Need a specific medication but can’t attend regular “script clinic” where any available physician makes out a prescription & doesn’t charge the patient for the brief consultation. I can’t attend the script clinic because I’m limiting my contact with others. I have been suffering from a virus recently. Regular GP unavailable for two days. It’s been two years since I saw any other doc about this medication. Clinic manager says I may not get a script because of this factor. FUCKEN BULLSHIT POLICY.
@variablepulserate I can't hold an iOS thingie steadily enough on most occasions to take a decent picture. I use Microsoft Pix A LOT.

@matigo I’m told these are classic symptoms of the body fighting an infection. Tiredness from most available energy being used for defence. Buildup of waste matter & temperature increase each kill off viruses & bacteria.
I’m wiped out. Tired, cranky, headachy. At least the sniffles & sneezing have eased off. Now I’m coughing up green phlegm. Trying hard to stay hydrated. Can’t be bothered eating. FUCK THE WORLD.
Australian GP cancelled, fans offered refunds. Cancellation by megaphone. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-13/australian-formula-1-grand-prix-cancelled-over-coronavirus/12052142
The retirement village when the Men's Shed group meets has shut us down until further notice as a precaution re the COVID-19 outbreak. We are tenants there & have to abide by the rules. It's not just us, they've banned all public gatherings from the premises. Residents living in apartments rather than villas get their midday & evening meals in the dining room as part of their living arrangements.
This will have to cease & some way of delivering meals to such residents will have to be devised.
A few years ago at the secondary school where my youngest sister teaches, the new college nurse (appointed on a crony basis by the shifty principal) decided to establish alcohol gel handwash stations without any consultation or testing of other options.
This irritated my sister, so she got one of her science classes to assess various different cleaning agents re their ability to kill common bacteria. Options such as scented toilet soap; plain laundry soap; alcohol gel; anti-bacterial alcohol-infused moist towelettes. Of these, the one that our long-departed great-grandparents would have recognised, the laundry soap, proved in association with hot water to be the most effective anti-bacterial hand-washing options available, as well as the cheapest.
