There is Science and there is Spin. There is engineering and marketing. There is fact and there is folly. Regrettably you are on one side of this argument, the rest of Scientific community on the other. For my part, I am happier to remained in the cocooned semilife for a bit longer, knowing...

Its kinda cold at this time of year, but a 100 mile dog sledge will cool his ardour. The people are hardy enough , its those dogs I would be sorry for.

Off topic, but I am not feeling charitable. If Trump is still in the air at 5:02 Irish time tomorrow, the first action of Pres. Biden should be to have the plane diverted to Nome.

Nope. Actually not very expensive. A standard office chair meeting H&S guidelines for a person using it for 7 hrs per day is close on half that

The Irish chap has no knowledge of immunology, so will not be commenting on any mix and match. He listens to the Scientists.

This response is a qualified maybe. The decision of the UK Government to bypass the full EMA protocol was gutsy. It comes with a potential price tag of removing liability from the companies and loading it on the taxpayer ..That is a calculated financial gamble, and looks like working out ...

The R number is not at all real. it is the numerical variable used to fit a regression curve to experimentally obtained data . basically .. we have measured this pattern, the curve that best describes it is this polynomial and with these indices . Anything which affects the experimental...

We have a similar so called scandal here ... where non front line staff were vaccinated . basically once the vial is prepared , it must be used quickly, it would be more scandalous not to use it than to keep the " optics right", so in our case family members of the senior doctor were vaccinated

Yes. I see a market for lithium ion battery powered fans sucking air via a carbon filter or maybe a Dyson HEPA or even a Kona Coffee filter

Finally we can agree on something. Yes. Unfortunately people with a lesser IQ than yourself, take their cues from major public figures.

Who is doing the estimating?. That is actually the kernel of the debate, not whether my cap is green . My point remains that the people BEST placed to make that judgement are the designers, not PR people no matter how highly placed in Government. . If the designers were of the informed opinion...

Yes and my area has that highest incidence. Now why?. 1. It is affluent..with many wealthy people with global connections .. kids in Australia, Middle East, USA, China 2. The relaxation of the restrictions "to save Christmas", was as I predicted going to be a disaster 3. My village, which...

Had you said "it is my understanding" that a single dose is fine . I would not have corrected you. But as you claimed belief ,it shows you would not be persuaded by evidence. Nope ! unfortunately belief is a core value,and not subject to rational argument. Indeed carrying your analogy...

Sorry Oyster... A belief is not an opinion. It is deeper than that. And of course since with the named he had assigned himself ,it is literally Gospel.

Of course you do... . Which is why you have. 1. Statistics which do not make sense. 2. Conflicting advice on multiple occasions, which put you into this situation 3. Herd Immunity ???. Nuff said. 4. A fourth wave would be utterly uncontrollable, which is what might happen if you don't follow...

..and we are way way behind on the death statistics also.. we are failing to kill our people as effectively as you are across the water.

Unless you are a consultant virologist, your belief is worth as much as my opinion on UK Premiership football. I also can see the logic..and the implied fallacy.

Actually it was his wife who Sile, who was more interested in that.

I dispute that there was any contradiction anywhere in my response. read it. Remember I was answering YOUR question, hence the first section was in inverted commas . And I then said NO....

Not wishing to rain on anyones parade, but it very bulky for a poncho. The value of a bike with 2 wheels is that it goes and parks anywhere . This is basically a rigid poncho and requires a huge battery to make up for the increased wind resistance.
