14 lbs in a stone so that's just under 1.5 stone.
Yes, that's almost like we are making the same point.

When I spent four days in bed with 'old fashioned' flu a few years back, I lost well over a stone in weight so I don't think it's that unlikely.

I lost over a stone to salmonella but i was a skinny 16 year old, so the weight loss was neither good for me nor welcome.

I hummus, therefore I am ...
Basal metabolic rate is about 1700kcals - so you could lose half a pound of fat or rather more muscle per day if you ate nothing ... burning up with a fever will clearly increase that ...

There's that Hold Steady song which starts "I've been trying to get people to call me Freddy Knuckles/People keep calling me Right Said Fred". That'd sting even more nowadays.

I lost about two stone when I got that norovirus that was going around a few years back and was fucked for a couple of weeks, which I think means I win.

Base metabolism for an athlete/sportsperson is usually cited as considerably higher - Typically around half as much again - that's without any training and it would take some time to descend to the levels of us mere mortals.
Even with my own fairly limited, mainly CV exercise regime, from blood glucose testing, I find it can take three to five days without exercise before mine drops back to normal rate.

There was a small anti-vaxx march moving past the Old Street roundabout this afternoon as I went past on a bus. Maybe 100 people. Twats.

Ooh. Cycled through there around 4. Missed it. Shame, I could do with hurling some abuse at strangers.

When I go to the Tesco in Carmarthen, I've come to take it for granted that the majority will be wearing masks, with only a few sporting their "I'm exempt" lanyards.
Today, I went into Tesco in Pembroke Dock, and the picture was very, very different - I'd say that about a third were gaily wearing neither masks nor lanyards.
And one of those came up behind me when I was at the till. Really close. So I asked him if he'd back off a bit. He said "why?". I said "because you're far too close, and you're not wearing a mask". I could see that he was dying to have a go about it - about four expressions flashed across his face, so I glared at him, and he said nothing...possibly because I was a good 15cm taller (and wider) than him. As it happens, I then got to move forward, so I thought I'd capitalise on my advantage and I pointed at his feet to say "you stay there". Which he did. Then, when I was a safe distance away, he muttered something about it "being all bollocks anyway". So I turned back to him and said "that might be your view, but you might at least have a little respect for those who have a different view." At which point, his mate (masked) moved him aside, took his place, and said something to him which resulted in his staying further back.
So I never really got to find out if he was the full-on loon
. They did come out of the shop after me, and I could feel that little tingle between the shoulderblades you get when you're not sure if someone's going to rush up behind you and give you a thump, but they didn't.
All idiotic and unnecessary, and completely pointless. I've a feeling he was looking for a bit of an argument, if not a fight, but he obviously thought better of it. Twat.

It was about 2:30 I went past. A few “my body my choice” placards.

I was premature in saying that they'd peaked, but it was always certain that they would peak at some point, when the attendance from people on the non-loon side started to go down and it was increasingly only the hardcore left. It sounds like it's got to that stage now.

There was a reported demo at a pop up vaccination centre in a shopping centre in Bristol, but local news do not mention an invasion, only early closure, so not sure it was same incident.

My general sense, even talking to those on the right at work, is that folk doing this are making themselves unemployable. They have become repulsive to those who have not fallen down the rabbit hole. They might not see it yet, but they've been algorithmed into social pyriahhs (sp - lol) .

I still find it mind boggling the level of arrogAnce. Outhought scientific consensus enough to end up storming a community global pandemic response. The gall. Blows my mind

One of my friends just bumped into a mutual acquaintance in the co-op, a staunch anti-vaxxer. Unmasked, obviously. And also very ill, 'with the flu'. Won't get tested, because tests are part of the conspiracy. I hope he's ok because he's a nice guy despite his delusions. That's the second local anti-vaxxer I know of this week ill with covid symptoms who won't be tested. Just amazing to me how long you can hold onto these beliefs when all the evidence mounts up in your own body.

Certainly Not acting nice. Bowling about a super market wihtout a mask and covid symptoms.

Yep I know. But when you 100% believe it doesn't exist you can't see that, can you.
It has been somewhat frustrating during this pandemic that the virus never seemed to touch our vocal local covid deniers - now it suddenly seems to be sweeping through them by all accounts. Be interesting how they react if one of them does become seriously ill.

No, esp with zero self doubt.
