I have a mild form of this and it controls my life. I don’t understand why people are so willing to risk getting a horrible chronic disease like this, or any of the other chronic diseases or acute medical crises that Covid can cause. Please wear a mask in public.

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com thank you for sharing information about student loan overpayment refunds! I hadn't realised I overpaid Β£264 and am now getting it back in time for Christmas.

"You wouldn't build a public building without fire prevention. You wouldn't make people eat contaminated food, and yet this concept of clean, fresh, uncontaminated air has just bypassed everybody."
