The excuses on here for going out are increasing again. No hair dressers this time, but exercise and dogs.

What is WRONG with people?

Being horrible to people lowers your immunity

Fake news - along with sipping warm water every 20 minutes or gargling with Listerine. grin. .

Getting stressed about other people going out for walks with a dog, shopping etc could lower your immunity.

Stress is not good at the best of times and especially not now.

In that case ..
Can I just say how smart you look this evening , greymar ? ?

The best that any of us can do is what we have been advised to do by the WHO and it's their advice I feel more confident in following, rather than an angry granny on an internet chat forum.

I just can't work out why the angry granny can't see what she has said though Chewbacca. It's very odd.

No it isn't fake news. Think of people you know who are spiteful, angry and sarcastic. they turn in on themselves and become ill.

Put simply, being nasty releases cortisol which makes us ill.

Would that help my knee pain, do you think?

You are quite right Greymar too much stress releases cortisol and it does make us Ill. There is a good breathing technique video doing the rounds that maybe we should all practise before we get this virus. I'll look for a link

Sorry what do you mean about knee pain? Mind and body work together.
