That told him !!! Good to hear such honesty from a medical professional. .

Welcome to the forum. If the ebike you are considering buying is new, fine, but if it's second hand make sure the battery is ok since they can be expensive to replace. .

Representing Croydon South, the rich private estate part of the borough, Philp is a creep of the worst kind. This suggestion is typical of him. The last thing most of us want is to regularly hear the dreadful dirge that is our national anthem, especially not its idiotic words sung. .

Being a stranger to testing I did have a look in *.gov online at LFT availability, only to see the advice that I should NOT take an LFT test if showing symptoms of Covid. The advice was to take a PCP test in that instance. With such a wide range of possible symptoms of Covid, that seems to...

Thanks Nev. I have only got number 1 though and right on schedule on day three it's beginning to clear in typical cold fashion. I certainly don't want to go out searching for an LFT test kit while it's as cold as it is a present, I suffer far too severely from the cold to risk that. It's why...

I wish mine was like Oyster's, mine is sometimes extremely painful with a migraine like headache when the blood pressures are up as well. When the tachycardia rate is slower in the 120 to 150 region with lower pressures like the 80/53 last night I just have a persistent sick feeling. My...

Which is precisely the infection level you forecast by Christmas, about three months ago, long before omicron arrived. Perhaps we should ask you what it will be in three months time. ;) .

I'm lucky in this respect, living alone with a nature reserve alongside and the Surrey border close within sight, followed by country all the way to the channel. It's a very unusual clean air circumstance for a Londoner. I was out Monday morning for some shopping and have caught something...

It is nitpicking. The UKHSA referred to hospital treatment and ICUS are a part of that. It is blindingly obvious that the politicians and spokespersons are being wilfully misleading, especially in the oft quoted 90% being unvaccinated without a verifiable single statistic in support. It is...

Still the liars persist: Yesterday Boris Johnson repeated the lie that 90% of Covid patients in ICUs are unvaccinated. Today on the news I've listened to an NHS representative saying the 60% of Covid patients in hospitals are unvaccinated, also a lie. Here is the truth: "New data from the UK...

The result of decades of austerity going back as far as the early 1970s. All in the name of trying to pretend we are still a leading country in the world by draining essential services of resources. The police, all branches of the military, the roads network, the NHS as you well know, the...

There's an embedded magnet in the path surface that latches a wheel pawl as it crosses the magnetic field, preventing the wheel rotating. The latch then has to be disengaged to get going again. I fear the scooterists would soon learn to do this. .

Agreed about the bodies not being stashed away, but definitely not about the attribution of other causes. It is completely the opposite and you may remember me complaining strongly about this last year. UK law requires a doctor to enter a specific cause of death on death certificates, which...

I don't agree with this, partly on the basis that it's impossible to hide nearly 4000 bodies, partly on the basis that in London's crowded housing conditions there's rarely spare rooms for bodies to lay to rest. In my 58 years of continuous London living experience, bodies are virtually always...

I do agree with this of course, but there is far more to it than just draconian action. The peoples of these countries are far more disciplined and compliant than us, particularly in Japan for example and to a considerable extent South Korea. This is also evolutionary, a developmental coping...

I've used the same sources, indeed just about all resources such as the Worldometer you've used and the ONS data, but in my post have ensured any bias has always been against my proposition. I even chose to do that with London's vaccination levels which in reality are worse than I portrayed...

A little history lesson Long ago when we first went into North America, we took our familiar diseases with us, such as the common cold, measles, chicken pox, mumps etc, things we'd long evolved to cope with quite well. But they had a devastating effect on the North American Indian tribes and...

How many times! This is Britain. We don't do anything necessary immediately, and when we finally belatedly do something it's usually done badly. Until we can instantly convert our population into a wholly Japanese one there's absolutely no point in such comparisons. We will never behave as...

I suggest you read my post again. The vulnerable were not sacrificed, huge numbers were saved. But I take it you prefer that at least 35,000 more in the country lost their lives needlessly. Remember, it wasn't just London producing this advantage, Sweden did too with 30% less deaths than us...

You will have seen all my posts about London's progressively far lower death rates from Covid, but the scale of the difference is such now that it's time to bring all the information together. First, the factors that might influence a London difference. London does have one advantage, a...
