Pierre should now be able to read it before commenting.

Bucking the trend of the rest of the world, the Scottish Island of Berneray is coronavirus free! Let's hope it stays that way. Nevertheless, the islanders are still social distancing and are on lockdown.

If you try to hold your breath for a long time, it's not a lack of oxygen that forces you to breathe but the build-up of carbon dioxide in your blood. Whales and other animals can turn off this response, so can dive for extended periods. Covid 19 is perhaps doing this too, as some people are not feeling breathless but the levels of oxygen in their blood are dangerously low?

Let's hope that dogs will be able to help the situation; they have been known to be able to sniff cancer etc. It would be quicker and cheaper than using testing kits.

There was actually some fake news going round that if you could hold your breathe for 20 seconds, then you didn't have Covid-19.

Strangely enough, I had the very same conversation with my bro-in-law today (he lives in Connecticut) - his partner has had symptoms, so he got hold of a Sat02 monitor because he is finding from hospital colleagues and unpublished data that patients are getting low Sat02 in absence of respiratory symptoms then crashing, leading to devastating effects.

Re: Coronavirus
 

You have a very good memory to remember what it cost 9 years ago!

Re: Coronavirus
 

Quite a poor memory actually :D as all one has to do is type in a product one previously ordered from Amazon and it shows up with the complete order details.
