The recommended treatment then was to go to wherever they were tarring the road and to inhale the fumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor soles must be absolutely terrified. I was in a meeting once and someone was just about to call an ambulance. All the docs said was that I had a viral infection.

dabber Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Whooping cough is caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis. There used to be a really good vaccine against it but they changed to a sub-unit vaccine (not the whole bacteria anymore) and it is not as good and whooping cough is making a comeback.

Parsnip Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Proper raw brutal passionate football. Thought it was a thing of the past until yesterday morning. I watch youth football every Saturday and this weekend served up a real treat. A goal down our striker gets taken out with a slide tackle in the box, ref books him for simulation. He gets up bloody nosed and the ref brandishes a red card for arguing. Incensed the whole team surround the ref like Fergie's Manu and the ref goes absolutely ape giving out a second red card for an apparent death threat. A pitch invasion follows and the match is abandoned. I'm telling you, under 9's soccer is where it's at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
