I was taking 4K most days in the winter Now of it when it's sunny and 2k when it's not

[williamcooper104] 22/8/2020 01:21

Yep - for sure we will know soon I dose myself every winter with vit D It's not absolutely certain that it helps with CV19 but there seems to be a lot of circumstantial evidence that it does Not least the greater risk factor for black/Asians living here relative to living in warmer climates

That was the total amount, not daily. 200,000iu of Vit D3 daily and
you would become seriously ill very quickly as it's a fat soluble vitamin stored in the liver.

[geckotheglorious] 21/8/2020 17:22

Spot on William.
Post 21883.

Wearing masks = lowered viral load as well. Don't understand why so many against such.

Be interesting to see how things progress mid Sept onwards.

200,000IU of Vit D - how bloody much? That's massively over isn't it?

I was taking 4000IU a day which was a tad high...now twice weekly or so.

[essentialinvestor] 21/8/2020 16:46

I supplemented with 200,000 IU of Vit D3 in early March as did my better half. That is not a recommendation and well in excess of any recommended dose.
In strong enough sun the body can manufacture approx 20,000iu daily.


William, expect we will know around mid September time.

Alphorn - exactly!

[williamcooper104] 21/8/2020 16:34

Probably represents infections coming from lower viral loads due to less people indoors and social distancing - plus better general vit D levels - and age profile of those getting it - it's young people going to pubs Don't think there's any evidence yet of the virus losing potency

[essentialinvestor] 21/8/2020 16:24

The one silver lining atm is COVID hospital admissions remain low
even with a rapid acceleration in cases. There will be a lag and we are still
In August with fewer other respiratory viruses in circulation. Hopefully it
indicates a weakening of the COVID virus.

[abdullla] 21/8/2020 16:09

Ftse recovering but pharmas are going down,corona vaccine Fake news is gathering momentum,if true the effect will be a disaster.

[alphorn] 21/8/2020 15:58

TM - you don't think that there is enough of a domestic issue that may/may not be tenable? ;)

[tradermichael] 21/8/2020 15:54

With Covid hitting Europe for a second wave, its just as well BREXIT is moving ahead otherwise the prospect of bailing out the EU failing economy after this plague would not be tenable.

[rikky72] 21/8/2020 15:36

That's reasonable to state but, holistically, I think we will lose much more than we gain. We are becoming more isolated from our near neighbours economically, politically and culturally. I don't see the rest of the world falling over itself to give us great trade deals which will be better or equal to that which we already had with the bloc. Be interesting to see where we are this time next year.

The UK has been indirectly supporting French farmers for years

France has been receiving 2.5 more rural and agricultural payments from the EU than the UK-FACT

[rikky72] 21/8/2020 15:03

I cannot see a single benefit of Brexit and don't support it in the slightest but I also respect that a majority voted for it and we have to respect that. What does seem like lunacy is pursuing a hard Brexit in the wake of the worst recession in living memory. I hope it is just posturing and we end up with a reasonable deal though.

[abdullla] 21/8/2020 14:25

It normally takes at least five years or more to create a proper vaccine,the current news of everybody making a vaccine is IMO Fakes,sadly.

[abdullla] 21/8/2020 14:17

No body but Shorters and the hedgehogs are murdering the Ftse,it is quick and easy money every day.

[essentialinvestor] 21/8/2020 14:17

Michael, around 1460/80 looks a decent buy area to me.

Just a guessestimate on my part and may not become available.


Worth considering on the COVID vaccine is the resources commitment.

They only employ so many pharmacologists and virologists, other areas of
the business potentially suffer, at least short term.

Any ideas this is going to be some bumper payout for GSK are misplaced imv.

[porsche1945] 21/8/2020 14:02

@gekko-the-knuckle-dragging-gammon.

...well brexit is working out great then?? trashed currency isnt helping the U.K. either. To answer your question, all those indexes have outperformed the ftse 100 and the dax has murdered it.

[abdullla] 21/8/2020 13:13

There can be only one reason for a dropping Ftse and pharma shares, the corona virus is coming back as the vaccines cure is missing.

[geckotheglorious] 21/8/2020 11:41

Absolutely Chessman..
Am very very tempted at current levels.

Some decent value appearing in pockets that's for sure.

[chessman2] 21/8/2020 11:21

At the current level GSK has to be a great stock to buy and tuck away.

German car owners should think about the duplicity of their manufacturers.

[geckotheglorious] 21/8/2020 10:55

Yawn another Remoaner peddling drivel.
Ftse is predominantly mining/international companies so its weakness is down to a multitude of factors.

How have the Dax, the CAC , the IBEX done over the same time period then? or the MIB?
Or any European Index - Greece anyone?

[abdullla] 21/8/2020 09:58

Market now below 6000, Pharmas going down,any news on vaccine?
