    It should include ACR holders I would have thought.

    Wish the brats would go back to school where I live. They should be home getting tuition from their parents:) But instead they're going around letting those bamboo canons off. My dogs are going crazy.

    There is a correlation in that graph to the rainy season, a correlation that I have noted before, it is still rainy season but it gets less relentless on the run up to Christmas and January.

    Took my wife to the hospital the other day, she was showing the covid 19 symptoms and with her asthma it sounded bad. They took blood samples, x-ray of her chest, heart and other test.
    She was negative but the doctor said she has asthma, well spotted doctor. she has had asthma since being a baby. Better to be safe than sorry, I was worried and thought the worse.

    There is an out-break of covid19 in the next town 16 new cases, thanks to an official from the gov going on a private plane to Manila and bringing back covid 19 with him. not had any test for covid 19 at the airport because he thought he was too important to catch it ffs. Where do they get these clowns from?

    Glad your wife hasn't got it Jim, always best to check with the doc just to be sure, as you said better safe than sorry.

    A lot of government officials around the world, including the UK, have also acted foolishly Jim. It beggars belief at times.

    i had asthma as a child. then nothing as an adult till recent years. then diagnosed as having COPD. coughing like stupid 2 years ago. i asked doc to prescribe steroids and antibiotics as this combination has shifted bronchitis a couple of times a few years ago. worked a treat--lungs clear in a week. Doc examined me--in his words--it was a miracle.
    i dont believe i had copd--i think it was an allergy to tree pollen or similar.

    ive been a bit wheezy again this last few weeks..and have an emergency course of steroids in stock if it turns worse; but wont take them unless its really serious--i dont want to mess with my immune system.

    We were doing fine here... only the odd case or two from returning ofw's etc.... everybody quite confident not wearing their masks.

    Then a doctor unwittingly caught it...he worked at the hospital so the doctors and nurses there got it... then they started tracing their contacts...
