What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

Hi all,
I am afraid we will not be out of the wood for sometime. Covid is with us permanently I would imagine?
The real question is when will sufficient numbers of patients stop dying in hospitals? Then we can start mixing in a limited way again with our families etc.
I would guess all the vulnerable and down to 50 year olds should be vaccinated with two jabs first!

It is bad news to hear the average intensive care Covid patient is 60 year old! That is not good news.
Anyone would think to hear some talk, it was over 80!!!
D.
 

Sure I read that
"while treatment isn't being denied, it is bring focused on those with the best prospects of surviving "(ICU. NHS)

Sure it was inside a BBC report, maybe a guardian article? I read last night/this am

Perhaps that's why that number is lower then initial reports would have us believe ?

Hope you are able to get Mrs MC to her hospital appointment this morning.
 
Back in the warm after a lovely walk around our local park. Everywhere was white with frost - very picturesque.

Aren't our brains clever. Have been grappling with teaching a new exercise to the classes on Zoom. It was a tricky one to teach - even with a demo I couldn't get it across. I just could not explain it so it made sense to everyone. So decided to relax and forget about it once I finished the classes on Saturday and shelve it until Monday.

This morning I woke up and my brain had worked subconsciously while I was sleeping and come up with the perfect set of instructions to teach it successfully. The instructions are really perfect and now everyone will get it. How does the brain do this.
 
After building a snowman which I took a picture of and sent to grandaughters I have managed to finish my watercolour Sweet Chestnut tree.

This is about an hour drive from us atm. Wish I had seen post this morning.
 

Found that article
Read down to "nurses are broken".

BBC News - Covid: Number of patients on ventilators passes 4,000 for first time

I have given up thinking out problems a long time ago.
My brain gets a list of problems and issues before I go to sleep with my request it comes up with solutions and ideas for morning. And it never fails @Krystyna23040
Sometimes it takes a few days for the 'AHA' moment. But then my list was a long one...

Glad to read that they are safe from the fire - hope that their home will be also.

Thank you @dunelm for your thoughts. They have returned home for the moment but are keeping a very close eye on the situation and warnings. And my daughter said at my midnight, when I was awake, they both have jobs to do, and needed the internet and their computers. The wind moved the fire in a slightly different direction, so it was moving away from their property last time I looked. But you know the nature of fire, that can mean nothing...
 
I believe Covid (or indeed any virus), is with us pretty much forever, they mutate, they come and go, whatever a virus does it does.
I believe we need to learn to live with this better, but no one really fully knows what we are living with.
Politicians are not the best people to direct us through this @lindisfel
