I Had Measles as 4-5 y/o in the early 1950's. Millions died world wide at that time.


I also had Whooping Cough at the same time. I was Very poorly.


I can still clearly remember lying on our settee with my mum. I had a temp. of 105 F

Our G.P. made a home visit and my dad had to go to Kembers, a late night Chemist at Camberwell Green

to get some Medicine.. No Idea what that may of been at the time. There was No Vaccine


I did not die.. We went to the seaside at the weekend and my dad took me out on a boat trip.


The next day I had a miraculous recovery.


Fresh air.. Get out and about.


Not at all healthy to stay in doors..


In the 40's before I was born, my mum had T.B.

She was sent to Pinewoods Sanatorium. It was Winter.. A foot of snow on the ground..

They left the windows open. They went for walks in the snow. It was Freezing.

She recovered...


Fresh air. The best remedy for most illness.

That high temp must have killed off some of your brain cells.

Well At birth as most babies I had 100 Billion Brain Cells.


I seemed to of survived with what I have left.


there's another type of brain cell, called a Glial cell, that can divide to form new cells.


I must of been blessed with a glut of those,

Aaaaanyway... back to the matter in hand. Southwark News reports on local charity shops reopening. Please do what you can to visit them as I know that charities have suffered massively with the loss of revenue during lockdown.

"Fashion charity shop TRAID started reopening its larger shops this week including its Peckham branch.

The Rye Lane shop opened on Thursday, June 18, with social distancing measures in place.

Its new window displays feature rainbow collections ? a nod to the NHS and all our key workers during the pandemic.

Mental health charity Mind?s East Dulwich charity shop ? in Grove Vale ? is also now open.

Donated good are being isolated for 72-hours before being sorted.

St Christopher?s Hospice says the majority of its shops will be open by Tuesday (June 23).

Till areas have been fitted with acrylic screens and contactless payment is the preferred method."

Fresh air and sunlight actually do make a big difference in fighting off viral illnesses. During the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, those who were treated outdoors in field hospitals (presumably because other hospitals were overwhelmed) had better outcomes. And the importance of Vitamin D in fighting Covid-19 has now been widely acknowledged.

Hear hear, mate!

What an absolute load of garbage it is to rattle on about "hysteria" in such a situation!

Anyone in any doubt go read up the details of symptoms and treatment for hospitalised people, the appalling business of having to try to breath via a tube shoved down your throat. Unbelievable lack of empathy/understanding, to take risks with anyone elses health by moaning about masks etc. Just get on with it, and shut up.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
