I worked all through the pandemic 2020-2023 I had COVID in March 2020 & was off work for three weeks. Several of my colleagues were hospitalised with COVID. A couple died. At times we were swamped with people seriously ill with COVID gasping for breath & dying. We did not run out of staff. It's...

They have had lots of practice with SARS & MERS. South East Asia is where all the new 'flu strains come from.

Anecdotally after vaccination was available I never saw anyone severely ill with COVID who had been vaccinated. I saw plenty who were severely ill with COVID none of them had been vaccinated. Quite a few of these patients died. Unfortunately the Tory policy of deliberately starving the NHS of...

This is nonsense. Clinical trials in the UK proved Ivermectin ineffective in treating COVID. Likewise for that other old chestnut Hydroxychlorquine.

Did you see the scenes from Northern Italy? We planned so that didn't happen. The NHS was not overwhelmed but had to turn into a COVID treatment service so much of the routine stuff has been delayed. That's one of the main reasons why waiting lists have gone up. The hospitals were not empty. One...

Midazolam is given in combination with morphine in end of life care. It's got nothing to do with the treatment of COVID-19.

Some government action was idiotic eg 'Eat Out to Help the Disease Spread About". Some police action was idiotic but that probably reflected the fact they were operating outside their normal parameters & didn't have the right guidance from the government. Lockdown in particular the first...

Lockdown, distancing, isolation etc are all tried & tested public health measures for preventing spread of disease in an epidemic/pandemic when you have no effective treatment & no vaccine. This bought time for treatments to be found & for vaccines to be developed. Of course the vaccines are far...

& if the UK were self-sufficient in food we could have adopted the approach of New Zealand & closed the borders until vaccines became available but there really was no alternative to lockdown which would have saved even more lives if implemented earlier. Timely testing wasn't available...

This is complete & utter foolish poisonous nonsense. Do you even know what Midazolam is without Googling & grabbing yet another article that you don't understand? People died because they had an overwhelming illness that predominantly targeted their lungs so that there wasn't sufficient oxygen...

I thought that you were being serious but now realise that this nonsense must all be designed for comic effect. BTW If you were in government how would you control a highly infective potentially lethal respiratory virus with no immunity & no vaccines? In case Public Health isn't your strong...

You obviously didn't manage to read as far as paragraph two of that article:- The increase in Antarctic sea ice extent stands in stark contrast to conditions in the Arctic, where sea ice extent has declined significantly—by about 2 million square kilometers, or about 20%, over the past 40...

"slightly increased risks of several medical conditions." As an alternative to death or serious illness that seems reasonable particularly as infection with COVID-19 causes much, much higher rates of myocarditis, pericarditis etc

You obviously chose to ignore the disclaimer immediately before Table 4 It is important to note that Yellow Card data cannot be used to derive side effect rates or compare the safety profile of COVID-19 vaccines as many factors can influence ADR reporting.

While it looks like peak oil was in 2018 & 2019 don't forget that 2020 was the first year of the pandemic so it's unsurprising if oil consumption was down.

I haven't a clue either. The normal convention is to spell it out in full the first time you introduce an acronym to the conversation. I already knew a couple of definitions for FMR eg Fair Market Rent & Frequency Modulated Radar but I was unable to decide which of the many dozens of other...

Sorry, not to have updated the thread sooner. The Moon Meteor-X Pro & Comet X Light Set is what I ordered from Amazon at a cost of £49.99. I found that I already had a bright rear light that I had never fitted so added that too so there was one flashing light & one rear light on continuously. I...

@Dai Gleddau Just spotted your username. Do you live in Milford Haven?

This is a complete load of rubbish. Just cut out the stupid anti-vax ******. The various COVID-19 vaccinations have saved hundreds of millions of lives.

My Wiper 705 has a torque sensor & rear hub motor. A throttle isn't required for hills as I have 5 levels of assist with the top being full assist ie working like a cadence sensor..
