But wait...! When things seem dark and hope is fading, humanity always seems to find a way.
I was told that there's a place close to where I live that has a certain altitude that -when one is unwell with
a vomit-loving disease, one can take the bus to. After thirty minutes of braving the biting eternal wind, the
sickness flees its host for warmer conditions in a sheep or something in a lower area of the country.
So I was told.
But now it seems that the land of the Scotsman has an elixeur that requires no such jaunts and all is that's
needed are a glass, maybe some ice and probably the latest edition of The Sunday Post.
Oh, and that barrelled stuff in Gordi's cellar too!
Chin-chin!

Quote:Coronavirus cure: Briton who contracted Wuhan virus claims he beat illness with this drink.The Express:
Coronavirus has been wreaking havoc across the world, with the first confirmed cases in the UK revealed
last week. One of the first Britons to contract coronavirus in Wuhan has now revealed he was able to shake
off the deadly illness with a popular cold and flu remedy.
'Wuhan novel coronavirus, its full name, is a new respiratory illness that has not previously been seen in human,
and there’s currently no proven cure. But for Connor Reed, a 25-year-old English teacher from Wales who
contracted coronavirus in Wuhan, claims to have cured his illness with a hot toddy.
Connor was one of the first Britons to contract coronavirus in Wuhan around two months ago.
He had taken himself to hospital in the Chinese city after suffering symptoms associated with the illness - breathing
difficulties and a severe cough.
Connor Reed claims a hot toddy helped him beat the illness.
He told The Sun: “I used the inhaler which helped control the cough and drank a hot whisky with honey until that
ran out. “It's an old fashioned remedy but it seemed to do the trick.
“I did refuse to take the antibiotics the doctors prescribed me because I didn't want to take any medicines.”
Mr Reed was discharged from Zhongnan University Hospital, but it was only two weeks later he was told by doctor
he was suffering from coronavirus.
Hot toddies are recommended by many people to relieve symptoms of cold and flu, but there are no studies to
prove it’s a cure. Special measures have been put in place to help deal with the rising number of cases of coronavirus
around the world.
British nationals are being flown home from Wuhan in China, the centre of the coronavirus outbreak, and placed into
quarantine to undergo testing for the virus. To slow the spread of coronavirus and reduce the impact on NHS services,
the UK Government has revealed vital steps to follow.
A public health campaign has been launched to provide clear advice to the public on how to slow the spread of coronavirus
and reduce the impact on NHS services. The Government-funded campaign will include public health advice on how people
can protect themselves from infection.
Similar to the Catch it, Bin it, Kill it campaign used for flu and norovirus, it will promote important hygiene practices, such as
regularly washing hands and always sneezing into a tissue, to stem the spread of viruses.
HM Government and NHS-branded information will appear in radio and print media, as well as social media.
The adverts will advise the public to:
Always carry tissues with and use them to catch coughs and sneezes
Bin the tissue, and to kill the germs, wash hands with soap and water, or use sanitiser gel
People who have travelled back from the Hubei province within the last 14 days are being asked to:
Stay indoors and avoid contact with other people as you would with the flu
Call NHS 111 to inform them of your recent travel to the city
If you are in Northern Ireland, call your GP.
Anyone who has travelled from anywhere else in China (not including Macao or Hong Kong) to the UK in the last 14 days
and develops symptoms of cough, fever or shortness of breath, should immediately self-isolate, even if symptoms are minor
and call NHS111. The UK is extremely well prepared for any potential outbreak of an infectious disease - we are one of the
first countries in the world to develop a test for the new virus.
The Government is already working rapidly to identify any contacts the patients had to prevent further spread and are in close
contact with the World Health Organization and the international community as the outbreak in China develops to ensure the
UK is are ready for all eventualities...'
Chin-chin!
