I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

The NHS is currently dealing with a large number of cases of norovirus (a common cause of gastroenteritis). The risk of contracting a norovirus infection can be reduced through regular hand washing with soap and water; along with good food storage and food preparation practices.

People with asthma are reminded to “step up” their medication to ensure their condition is well-controlled. But it is also important to “step-down” medication when appropriate. This process ensures the lowest effective medication dose is used and reduces the risk of side-effects.

Hey, @ox.ac.uk, how about an honorary degree for this woman pilot with a PhD in aviation safety, whose employer hired a crooked psychiatrist to label her mentally ill after she blew the whistle on safety practices? She fought (for years) and won.

It's very concerning that many areas lack sufficient spirometry capacity. Spirometry is an essential tool for diagnosing respiratory diseases, and its underuse or limited availability can lead to delayed diagnoses and poorer outcomes for patients. www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinica...

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, everything that led to the Holocaust is in danger of being forgotten.
The Nazis channeled the demands of oligarchs, scapegoated minorities and replaced democracy with a new imperium. Those politics are returning.
