Cough syrup 0 9

Coughs that last a long time this winter may be the result of people picking up one infection after another, a GP expert has said. Professor Kamila Hawthorne, chairwoman of the Royal College of GPs, said doctors have noticed that the current round of respiratory infections seems to be lasting longer than usual. She said figures from the College's research and surveillance centre show that rates of lower and upper respiratory tract infections are well above the average usually seen so far in winter. This is echoed in weekly data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), which has found high rates of flu and other respiratory viruses. Prof Hawthorne said: "It's not clear why some of the current respiratory infections going around do seem to be lasting longer than usual - this has been noticed by doctors as well as patients, but we are not entirely sure why this is happening.

Extraordinary new claims were made today that a major Vladimir Putin outing this week involved a body double and not the real president. The warlord was pictured wearing heeled shoes to bolster his 5ft 7in height during a meeting with Moscow State University students on Wednesday. But his smiling façade contrasts with a video from the day before when the glum 70-year-old dictator’s right hand was concealed from view. The latest claim of a doppelgänger came from Telegram channel General SVR. It suggested Putin’s “main double” - one of an alleged team of actors who have undergone plastic surgery to emulate a sickly and often-absent Putin - was deployed on this week’s university visit marking Russian Student Day. It's been claimed the man meeting Moscow students was actually one of three doppelgangers used by the Russian leader ( Image: Maksim Mishin/AP/REX/Shutterstock) “During a public meeting with students…many noticed some oddities and physiological features … [Read more...] about Vladimir Putin body double ‘spotted’ after viewers notice clue in his shoes

Located on Taiwan’s southwestern coast, Tainan, the island’s oldest city and former capital, has a long history of cultural incursion, much of which can be traced through its existing architecture. Dutch traders started building forts here in the early 1600s, and Ming and Qing loyalists seized control about half a century later. From 1895 to 1945, while the island was under Japanese rule, city planners upgraded Tainan’s municipal grid with new roads, European-style shop houses and an imposing government hall with a mansard roof. Today, relics of the past can be found all over town, sharing space with the street food vendors and restaurants that have made Tainan the … [Read more...] about Chefs and Bartenders Are Injecting New Life Into Taiwan’s Oldest City
