Bin collections are continuing by South Northants, not Cherwell Council as stated incorrectly.
We have some comments about the advice provided on reducing the risks or symptoms of viral illness including Covid 19.
One study published in 2008 concluded "..the results support the folklore that a hot tasty drink is a beneficial treatment for relief of most symptoms of common cold and flu."
The information we provided was not extensively validated but did come from an NHS source. To be clear on two points:
- Holding your breath for 10 seconds without coughing does not mean you are clear of the virus. If, however, you have any breathing difficulties such as being unable to do this as described you should obtain medical advice urgently.
- Drinking water every 15 minutes does not physically wash away the virus from inside cells but continued hydration is important to support the immune system and does no harm.
