I'm no GP, medical scientists or, God forbid, a health 'expert', but I cam only agree with Dr Garvey when he says:

"if public health authorities canny be a help to the general practitioner, they should at least refrain from being a hindrance."

And that applies to other areas of our lives where 'authorities' are more hindrance than help ...

I found Arthur Firstenburg's book, The Invisible Rainbow, quite fascinating, which I read one lockdown Christmas Day, all by myself! Public health should be about clean water, sanitation, proper nutrition, not lies by lobbyists, clean air and exercise outdoors, getting vitamin D exposure. We don't need no vaccinations, another brick in the wall!

Every granny knows you shouldn’t go out without your coat on in winter. ‘Wrap up warm’ are the last words you hear before leaving the house. I suspect that advice is particularly relevant in an Antarctic base.
