One symptom of Coronavirus is a high fever and what we in the UK call paracetamol can reduce the fever thereby reducing the risk of organ damage.

That’s not to say this virus isn’t affecting the economy but the government’s decision not to offer a loan is what pushed Flybe over.
Class is as much cultural and, in terms of upper class, hereditary here in the UK. I could never be upper class as I don’t have the right ancestors.
Commercial local radio has been freed of most of the licensing stipulations that required distinctive local programming or specific types of programming. That is a shame but it doesn't follow that all commercial media has to be rubbish.
On balance, I think the BBC has been a good thing for the UK. However, it's undeniable that the BBC's presence has made it harder for commercial providers to flourish.
Or is it possible that a person might hold views that overlap with those perceived also to be put forward by media organisations?
The BBC's success risks suffocating commercial media. Put too many restrictions on the BBC and the risk is of suffocating the BBC. It seems reasonable to me that the government should attempt to find a balance. And, being a government staffed by humans, they make the wrong call sometimes.
Unless the body prep/burial is offered as a free complimentary service when you buy a casket, then presumably the bill for those services covers their cost.
Perhaps competition has set an expectation of a certain price for the service aspect, which is a loss-leader, and then providers make up the loss on casket sales.
If the funeral homes were selling only a casket, I could see it being a volume thing. But I'd expect the fixed costs of the business to be covered by the service fee, hence my question.
Domestic ATM withdrawals are a cost for Starling as they have no network of their own; they're not even part of Link.
I'm not sure that the paltry interest they can gain from business deposits will be enough to make those accounts profitable (they just announced another £60m of funding this week).
I'm a relatively happy personal customer of Starling, so I'm not against them, but I do think it's a bit optimistic to say Starling's business accounts are profitable based on no evidence.
First Direct and Marks and Spencer are brands of HSBC. First Direct is independent enough that you get a very different service from them compared to vanilla HSBC.
As others have said, Co-op is owned by private equity now. When they were a true co-op, you could forgive them the odd bit of sloppy service but there's no excuse now.
If I were coming to the UK for the first time, I'd see if a local bank in my country (usually it's HSBC or Santander) could offer to help me set up when a UK account with their local subsidiary. KYC, credit checks, etc can make opening an account difficult when you're new to the country.
It's a social signal and one that, potentially, brings with it additional stress as you're actively opting out of something your colleagues/superiors believe is good enough an idea that they've implemented it.
Even if the languages had not split, could there still not be regionalised influences on place names?
There are too many twitter threads that go absolutely nowhere and yet build a fraction of a story into multiple tweets.
I have only enough attention in a day for so many things structured as a story. I’d rather save that attention for things I know I’ll enjoy rather than the episodic retelling of a battle over a light switch.
