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.

    • There can be different vaccine versions for different age groups. Two weeks after having my two from DL at TJHC I have today a text from TJGP to say free flu vaccine is available for me  at the practice, and asking me to book online (where next appointment offered shows as 13 November). Years ago, when the two practices were still in Melbourne Grove, the GP practice was similarly not aware that I'd already had my flu vaccine at DL.  This time I can see my 9 October Covid one in my NHS online GP Acute Medicines records, and then, at the end of the entries: "Unknown Date "Influenza vaccine (surface antigen, inactivated) suspension for injection 0.5ml pre-filled syringes ..." I'm wondering if this date error is happening to others getting dual vaccinations from the TJ DL, or any other DL branches.  And whether it's turning up in the patient records of any other GP practice.
    • What kind of witch hunt is this? mandatory facial recognition? prison for shoplifters? Shops can protect their stock as they wish. but they choose profits first.  The obvious solution would be delivery only - and when you can get your shopping in 15minutes, who really needs to go to the shop? but no, the shops like the sales from people browsing and being hungry when they shop. They don't lay the shops out for our enjoyment. They don't actually care that much. If they did, there would be active and empowered security, lower stock on shelves, more security tags etc... don't be fooled. If you're going to go after shoplifters, go after the organised crime, theft to order etc  
    • Community payback already exists   https://www.gov.uk/community-sentences/community-payback
    • 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.
