The enterprising Swedish promoters have declared that their track restaurants will be open for business and will take bookings for meals to allow spectators to watch the racing. This must be the way forward that the British PRomoters were waiting for ... open up your trackside restaurants, start taking bookings and start racing. Ah hang on ....... just thought you cannot see the racing from the "restaurant" behind the pits at Eastbounre, nor from the "restaurant" under the grandstand at Sittingbourne. How are other UK tracks fixed for a trackside dining experience? NSS has the finest view anyone could wish for !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had it, and compared to Influenza it was a walk in the park, just mild cold like symptoms. Herd immunity is the only way any virus goes away... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another was a woman in her mid-30s could hardly make it a few hundreds years down the road. But I must admit I didn’t see if she had previous problems and wouldn’t be too surprised if she was putting it on for benefits etc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good advice, just like eating healthy or not drinking too much alcohol or smoking cigarettes is good advice. But a large % of the population ignore it and the health system has to cope with the consequences 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whether someone gets or is more badly affected by a virus is extremely complex. There is no way to "look after your immune system" as if anything you do can change your biology. Equally, there is no evidence that eating more fruit makes you 'healthier'. Nutrition and health have basic links only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did try their so called chips once, and they most certainly finished up in the bin. Dry & tasteless....horrible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herd immunity is the only way any virus goes away... I once had the 'flu jab', it worked spent 5 days in bed with the flu, never again. You are kinda right in that if a person caught full-on Covid-19 they might well not be aware, but they also could be 'out of it' for weeks. Without going into details I know of folk aged 9 - 80 whose condition ranged from 100% flu symptoms with trembling hot & cold flushes & extreme dizziness for 3 days, then 2 weeks, same for a few weeks, bed-ridden for 5 weeks, 10 weeks in a coma to passing away; scarily at the time none had any underlying life-affecting health conditions and could be considered fit & healthy. I suffer from asthma so if I become infected it could well be 'curtains', so I've masked up since since March, we make our own decisions and hopefully live to tell the tale....
