Have you thought/realised?

That's called Dupuytrens Contracture, as you say very common in ancestors of vikings.Little nodules build up on the tendons but if you massage them they go away. It's caused by gripping something too strongly and for too long.
I get a very mild version after many hours on a video game.
Don't know what you've been gripping too hard but perhaps try doing a bit lighter 😳

Right from the off nobody ever said that there would be a magic bullet that would eradicate C-19.
I don't recall a "will" or a "stop" being promised by anyone (scientific, that is!)? :unsure:

The main news bouncing around during the last 24 hours is that a single dose of AstraZeneca vaccine could cut transmission by 67%.
I would say that's a pretty good start in the battle to reduce overall transmisson! (y) 🙂

On a separate (but still transmission related) tack, here's an interesting read:-

That is a good read.
Might be time to stop washing or putting into quarantine everything `I bring in the flat.

I've still got some post been in quarantine since last April. 😂

Had Dupuytrens for at least 15 years, being right handed it's strangely worse in my left hand. Luckily has progressed for years.

David has had operations on both hands for dupuytrens...pretty successfully. I told him over the years not to use the palms of his hands as hammers....never listened.

I have the condition in both hands, what are you trying to say!! Gripping something “too strongly and for too long”, I’m truly offended......not. Truth is it‘s very prevalent in Scandinavia, the Viking connection is spot on. We‘ve been self governed for the last 2000 years following a Viking invasion. Sorry to inform you, but massaging wont make it ’go away’. I play guitar and I’m very conscious about how to control it. Constant use guitar playing using the left hand as a right handed person helps greatly, it slows the process but it won‘t ever go away.

I‘m guessing it’s been known about for generations and more prevalent for us ‘Viking’s’, but Guillaume Depuytren was French, much famed for looking after Napoleon’s piles! He was the first one to operate on them.

I’ll keep mine thanks. I know more people personally who have suffered more following that operation than those gaining relief! I exercise both hands and fingers to keep them supple, it won‘t go away, but it’s likely to prevent clawing. If you really need a definition of clawing pm me!

I'd be over the moon if it's proven to stop transmission.

It's a lot of "mays" and "reduces" though, not will and stop.

Read the news and get with the program. It’s doubters that will hold us forevermore from doing what we love.

Did you read the post I opened this thread with?

Perhaps not as closely as I should have, but I get a little fed up with all the negativity surrounding covid 19. For example, there‘s been zero examples of asymptomatic transmission over here, all were traced to travel. The limited number cases caught in the community were also traced to travel. I’m not saying that asymptomatic transmission doesn’t exist, but I doubt its anywhere near as bad as some people think.

We had a huge problem with students here in Bristol constantly licking each other and had loads of positive tests. Very few with any symptoms though.

Where is here?

Same here in north London, people I know or know of with positive test and asymptomatic out number those with symptoms. Could well be down to the number of youth.

And this is the 'coronavirus' section of the site.
Which everyone has the free will to choose to ignore and not bother reading? ;)(y)

Hundreds of other threads for you to read instead - solar, batteries, toilets, water supplies, POIs, generators, lighting, Schengen.... you name it, it will have been discussed somewhere in the forum.

Anything untoward, or 'fake news', will get removed by admins, but otherwise we are free to discuss, and why not?
After all, it is currently a major world-consuming topic...! :)
