    Oyster, like everyone else on the mainland, you cannot appreciate how paper thin is this border. A child making their way to school might traverse the border a few times... So with their Daily Lea cheese sambos they are international smugglers!.

    ..Then it is basically a storm in a tea cup. We have huge poultry farms and processing plants on the Island. A major fraction of all the ducks consumed in Europe and of course the UK, comes from Ulster Farms.

    ..when troubles come, they come not singly but in battalions..... If none of your current group infected, then they don't pass it on. If one does get infected . I have never accepted the arguement that any person tested after the event and with fragments of RNA in their system was ever...

    Ordinary men see the world as it is . Great men fashion the world to their image of what it should be. Therefore if he will not accept the world, by definition he must be a great man .. Simple innit?

    Many thanks .. but actually I am not really worried at all. I normally am very optimistic about these things and am now. I suspect it's gut, as that medication is having an effect, but at 69, there could be something else or even both in play. My sister a good 12 years younger , had 1/2 a...

    In my earlier life I worked with an automated medical diagnostics wet chemistry machine for bloods ,with a throughput of 90 per hour and a latency of about 15 minutes . Provided the latency is under an hour, or 3 hours for transatlantic , it would be fine. A 50% success rate would be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Concern?. It is hard to figure out any other reason than an attempt to jettison any possibility of a trade deal with this news. In fact EU lawyers are stating that even tabling the possibility of legislation is a breach, let alone going ahead with it. What Whitehall fails to realise is that...

    That type of machine and test is a game changer. Seriously... If everyone taking a flight was required to take one, at check-in time, they could be tested and confirmed safe to travel before boarding time. ..Why O'Leary of Ryanair is not pushing this is crazy. Even if it had as bad as a 90%...

    Very true. CV19 is a mixed curse and blessing. The number of drunken brawls ending up in A&E has reduced considerably. The amount of air pollution has reduced ..both locally and globally. The amount of fossil fuel burnt reduced . So less respiratory complaints The number of people choosing to...

    Only your point 1 is sure. The rest are a mixture of conjecture . The facts there based on a sample size of 28 M .... .A. 28M people got it seriously enough to trigger the postive diagnosis. B. 0.85M people have died .. presumably from it or as a co morbidity factor C. About 18M are deemed...

    That explains the discrepancy. .. your document regarding overall deaths referred to England not the UK. Many many people will linger on longer than 28 days to die from CV19. .. especially if they are young and strong

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That is true to some extent, which is why my 2.2K figure predates CV19. . At this stage the numbers are additive, .. the CV19s are a DELTA on the currently overlying average. But if the numbers start hitting the 10% levels eg. infection rates in excess of 30,000 per day, then CV19...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My analysis is that about 2.2K people die in the UK each day... 66M/80 per year.. This includes everything from house fires to extreme old age and all sicknesses. If 1K people contract CV19 per day, this is new and not included in the 2.2K, since there are no year on year statistics yet. What...
