Dominic Raab just stood at the podium and said they are committed to complete transparency.
They are, I can see right through them.

Interesting, thanks. I am taking a vitamin D supplement, as I realised I am, or hopefully was, deficient.
Since learning about it, I have changed my habits. I now know why my mum was so keen to give me a large spoonful of cod liver oil every other day and send me out side to play at every opportunity .

Vit D absorbtion also affected by skin pigmentation. Darker skin, more difficult to absorb. Which is an interesting contradiction with the increasing lack of sunshine and vit D the further north you live.
There's been calls for years to put supplements into food in countries like Scotland. There's a problem though in that too much Vit D can lead to similar symptoms to too lack of Vit D.The red hair and fair skin pigmentation of Scottish/Irish are a direct genetic mutation to the environment. Red heads work hard to produce more melatonin to absorb more vit d due to low cloud coverage in west Scotland and Ireland. They have adapted over thousands of years to their environment

Good morning, friends and fiends! I hope you are all well.
I have been reading a couple of blogs, which I have found quite interesting. I'm not suggesting that I agree with everything the authors have written, given that I have only read a fraction of their offerings, but they seem cogent to me.
https://hectordrummond.com - this last one is open to guest posts, Oaky!
Stay safe!
The malcom Kendrick blog on vitamin D is interesting, I took in a lecture on vitamin D research a few years ago, the researchers had studied populations in the Faroe isles and west Scotland ( they both have similar low cloud cover) however Faroe islanders eat lots of oily fish. (Source of vit D) anyhoo, long story short, doctors in UK test vitamin d levels in blood tests by checking you reach the minimum level not to have bone growth problems and that’s it. The researchers reckoned that everyone in the west of Scotland was vit d deficient. We should all be on a supplement or spending 45 minutes each day outside with short sleeves and shorts. They also discussed MS and how it declines the closer you get to the equator.

Just back from Tesco, was interested to note that apart from the usual suspects dressed up as extras from Outbreak most people were uncovered in fact I'd say there were less people with homemade coverings than the last few trips. 😷

We are getting closer to the REAL reason we have been in lockdown. Testing civil obedience for post invasion 🤫 strange timing to admit they have REAL ufo footage?

Oh dear, I wonder how they will spin this?

This week I have been mostly, deleting scam emails about my TV license, getting them every other day.

All outweighed by the honour of pulling on the stripes.
The last team to win the Scottish cup with an all Scottish team. It might also help the National team

Why, do you think it will only effect us.
No it won’t just be us, it will be all countries. It’s just another reason on the long list of cons that players think about before coming here, I.e shit weather, long winter, better pay in England etc

I noticed a few headlines this morning about crime being down by about 20% in Scotland during the lockdown. I wonder what effect the lockdown will have on birth rates?

I just hope that enough teams survive to form a league. I think football in general is going to look very different going forward, I can’t imagine overseas players returning to Scotland if there is any chance of Covid returning every winter.

No problem in disagreeing.
Wouldn't be great if we were all the same, ya grumpy auld trumpet.
Daughters currently working in a care home as her normal care group have been told not to attend the learning centre and her and her colleagues have made several short videos, mainly to keep spirits up and also send to relatives.
You have got me pegged 😋 I hope you are you are giving your daughter lots of praise for the great work she is doing. The only silver lining I can see about this whole crisis is that it puts everything in perspective 👍🏻

Sounds as though you are very much moral bashing when you bring in a tragedy like the one you've copied. 👎
As I said there's been plenty of videos made by plenty of NHS departments as they feel it's a release valve and shows the public they are coping. (That's from the horses mouth)
I guess I must be old school, still think it’s unprofessional. I was in work today and there was no one singing and dancing. The horses mouth?

Overall I'd agree but there's been several videos of all departments having a short break and producing a short happy/amusing video.
These people, as you say, are busy/overwhelmed at times but they choose to show they are still human and can see that life goes on.
I'd leave the moral bashing to Oaky, it's what he does.
Not moral bashing, just feel it’s unprofessional and brings the profession into disrepute. I noticed it was a hospital in Derby that organised it, there won’t be much singing and dancing in Lanarkshire NHS hospitals tonight.

That is a PR disaster right there. Unbelievable.
Have to agree, there Is no way this was cleared by management. Looks like a few arses will be getting kicked. If it was done in the car park and without the frivolous and unnecessary use of PPE it might have been okay.

Overwhelmed NHS staff
Most routine/non urgent appointments have been cancelled, the ward in the video looks like a day surgery unit (minor ) so it won’t be open or housing patients. Probably not a good idea to make a fun video when your colleagues in other areas of the hospital ( ICU, HDU and coronary care) are stressed to the max.
