Sorry - but the government continues to say things which cause confusion. All this recent stuff about booking a test if you have not yet had a vaccination. With pretty much not a word to identify that applies in England. In Wales, the automatic appointment system is still in force and, so far...

The Mail really does have some stories for which it would not have seemed the natural home: Carrie’s new boss and a VERY cosy deal: It’s an astonishing arrangement, writes GUY ADAMS, how is the eco-warrior tycoon, who’s hired the PM’s fiancee, living in a stately pile for the price of student...

Long Covid in Children Frances Simpson, a lecturer in psychology at Coventry University and co-founder of the group, said she was very worried about the emerging data on long Covid in children. “We just think that there should be a much more cautious and curious approach to long Covid rather...

I think there have been some big mistakes in relation to the whole vaccination program. That there is even one vaccine is pretty good. That there are several and, hopefully, we will see the strengths and weaknesses assessed and used to improve them, is excellent. I am scheduled to have mine on...

Are we going to require vaccination passports/certificates to post here? :)

Wales currently has the lowest rate among the four nations, with 65.7 cases per 100,000 people in the seven days to February 24. This is the lowest rate for Wales since the seven days to September 22, 2020. Both Scotland and Northern Ireland are now just below 100 cases per 100,000 people...

Glad to see the NHS has been protected well enough to have space for a certain Windsor pensioner...

Does Israel have predominantly the Kent variant?

But it appears we are now dominated by the Kent variant - possibly going towards SA or Brazil or another one. Without vaccination, the numbers might have risen substantially due to the apparently greater infectivity rates of these variants. Which makes all these comparisons extremely...

Seasonal Affective Disorder - will resolve as spring really gets going.

Just stop here: My gripe is over car drivers who do not indicate. I know I too make mistakes, but I try to indicate at all times. From many years ago, typically walking home in the dark from a pub, drivers have little idea who might want to know what they are intending to do. They (we!) often...

Here's a post I prepared earlier (for another place!): Last night (Thursday 25/02/2021) there was a program on BBC2. Horizon 2021: Coronavirus Special - What We know Now In this third Horizon special, Dr Chris Van Tulleken is joined by his brother Xand and Dr Guddi Singh to take us through...

Is IgG a good measure of effectiveness against Covid-19? Both of its ability to protect from infection and to minimise severity?

They just don't know whether to put five, six or seven in a vial of Pfizer vaccine... :) (I actually suspect that "they" could reached more people with trackers by putting them into McD, KFC, etc., food than the vaccines.)

There are a few roundabouts round here, and I'd assume it's probably the case for many of us, which are more like T-junctions. Indeed, one pretty much is a T-junction where someone put a spot of white paint on the road and a couple of signs. I see drivers treat them as if the roundabout simply...

I'd just rubbed my eyes and, as the screen coalesced in my vision, I thought I saw:

Another uɹnʇ-∩? Concerns grow as UK Covid testing labs scaled back before even opening Planned multi-million Lighthouse facilities cut by up to 50%, with smaller labs decommissioned New Lighthouse labs, created by the government to boost the nation’s Covid testing capacity, are to be...

I'd have thought that even if suitable quantum computers became available today, it would take quite some time before even a majority of bitcoin mining could transfer to them. And, whilst seemingly powerful in computing terms, I have no idea of their energy usage.

That's what we call a balmy mid-summer day.
