Yep. A Jewish mate posted it on FB the other day. Not bad by all accounts: https://www.coombefarmorganic.co.uk...MIhMrC2ZvO5AIVDbTtCh1BJwFREAQYASABEgKv9vD_BwE
You are all totally wasting your time!!! Nobody is going to change their minds or what they say- on or beyond this board, so why bother going round in circles?
I understand why you would worry. However an air bridge is being arranged for the event of a no deal Brexit. Do you truly believe that they can get the necessary drugs to war torn areas of the world, but will let your wife die in this country?
Just looking at Metformin, the most popular medication for type 2 diabetes. There are over 1.6 million individuals (17.9m annual prescriptions) in the UK prescribed this (plus those using it for Polycystic ovaries and other treatments), at a minimum of two tablets per day, 30 days per month = 96 million doses each month. If each tablet, plus packaging is 5g then that comes to around 480 tonnes *each month*. (Some patients take 3 doses per day). By weight, that would fit into 3-4 loads on a cargo 747. (actually would be more as they are light and take quite a large area). Metformin is only the 11th most prescribed drug in the UK, with Simvastatin having over double the number of prescriptions (39.9m/year compared to 17.9m/year). The entire top twenty is prescribed just over 400m times in the UK each year, so roughly 2bn tablets per month - or 10,000 tonnes per month - roughly 60-80 loads on a cargo 747. It also significantly increases the cost of importing the drugs and further limiting the ability of the NHS to treat patients. Which all depends on no Icelandic volcanoes, inclement weather, idiots with drones, French Air Traffic Control strikes, etc not affecting air traffic into the UK.
