*All those robo and cold calls on my phone have stopped.

Vitamin D is an important protection

Vitamin D is an important protection against respiratory diseases and coronavirus.  Vitamin D comes mostly from sun exposure and the black and brown skins absorb it more slowly and less than whiter skins.  Maybe that is an additional reason why black and brown skinned people are dying more from the virus.  (As well as all the reasons in the news now).

There is a serious study on Vitamin D in the British Medical Journal BMJ 15th Feb 2017. Randomised, dble blind, placebo controlled, n=10,933.

The protective effect of Vit D ranges from 12% to 70% less respiratory infections, the higher rate in those who were deficient in Vit D.

25 micrograms = 1000 IU. Recommended doses vary a lot, you can read up on that, D is not expensive.

I'm normally a social girl

I'm normally a social girl

I love to meet my mates

But lately with the virus here

We can't go out the gates.

You see, we are the 'oldies' now

We need to stay inside

If they haven't seen us for a while

They'll think we've upped and died.

They'll never know the things we did

Before we got this old

There wasn't any Facebook

So not everything was told.

We may seem, sweet old ladies,

Who would never be uncouth

But we grew up in the 60s -

If you only knew the truth!

There was sex and drugs and rock 'n roll

The pill and miniskirts

We smoked, we drank, we partied

And were quite outrageous flirts.

Then we settled down, got married

And turned into someone's mum,

Somebody's wife, then nana,

Who on earth did we become?

We didn't mind the change of pace

Because our lives were full

But to bury us before we're dead

Is like a red rag to a bull!

So here you find me stuck inside

For 4 weeks, maybe more

I finally found myself again

Then I had to close the door!

It didn't really bother me

I'd while away the hour

I'd bake for all the family

But I've got no bloody flour!

Now Netflix is just wonderful

I like a gutsy thriller

I'm swooning over Idris

Or some random sexy killer.

At least I've got a stash of booze

For when I'm being idle

There's wine and whiskey, even gin

If I'm feeling suicidal!

So let's all drink to lockdown

To recovery and health

And hope this bloody virus

Doesn't decimate our wealth.

We'll all get through the crisis

And be back to join our mates

Just hoping I'm not far too wide

To fit through the flaming gates!

Corona Shopping trip

If I have to shower and do laundry I may never go out :-)
