    @john howard: If you are bald, what haircut were you expecting to get?

    @john howard: On the bright side, the rest of us have to wash our hair after going to the chemist. You get to save time there!

    Fascinating research, who would have thought… having serious cardiovascular condition increases your risk when contracting another serious condition.

    Can’t control mine, in my 12th combination of drugs. On the plus side I had my BCG and I’m Rhesus Negative

    So have I got this right? People with high blood pressure might run out of their necessary medication because they’re reluctant to go out and expose themselves to the virus?

    But going short of them puts you at higher risk.
    So it makes sense to get what you need – even if it means asking the chemist or the Guards to drop your blood pressure pills off for you to save you going out.
