Good to see the new Johnson gin palace has a;ready increased in cost by 25% since May. Would be better if those agreeing to it underwrote the costs with their own money.

Tories - the party of nationalisation of industry. Sheffield Forgemasters nationalised after £2.6m takeover by MoD State acquires defence manufacturer to secure of supply parts for Royal Navy’s ships and submarines I guess they felt railroaded into it.

Most? 51%? 99%? And, quite possibly more important, what is the impact on the course of a Covid infection in people who have had the tiniest exposure - below whatever threshold of causing disease - if they later get a big enough exposure to usually cause the disease?

I see the tongue-twister is back. The trolley-lorry: UK government backs scheme for motorway cables to power lorries E-highway study given £2m to draw up plans for overhead electric cables on motorway near Scunthorpe...

They obviously mis-read and instead followed the idiocy of David George Hamilton Frost.

3. Do everything they can to speed up diagnosis and improve treatment. As with so much of medicine, time from first sign to start of appropriate treatment is critical. And having a good, effective, available treatment - preferably one which does not require a hospital setting - would be a major...

Interesting to speculate on the impact vaccination - and the choice of whether to get vaccinated or reject - might have on the population. If the attitude of rejecting is in any way related to heritable characteristics, those very characteristics might reduce the viability of those who have...

What really would surprise me is if whatever happens unequivocally demonstrated the superiority of voluntariness over mandatoriness of restrictions - or vice versa.

It actually suggests that we might be closer to an end than would otherwise be the case. With far more people already protected to some extent by having been infected. Also that so many might not even have realised they wre infected - which makes its impact on at least a subset of us appear...

If, as apparently in the USA, we have severely under-counted Covid cases, models based on inaccurate numbers of who have had Covid (plus those vaccinated) would tend to over-estimated rate of infection. Covid cases in US may have been undercounted by 60%, study shows Number of reported cases...

That was rather the inference I expected you to draw.

Was reading about the RiverSimple Rasa, not BEV but hydrogen. They use a supercapacitor for regen and claim a 50% recovery.

And what is happening to the death figures? Claimed technical issues but it seems rather odd.

Boris Johnson talked out of triggering 'nuclear option' over Northern Ireland Brexit stalemate PM is reportedly convinced of the need to trigger Article 16 should Brussels fail to agree to a renegotiation of the NI Protocol

I see suggestions that football (and other sport) will be included in the "must be vaccinated" rules. In the context of Wembley, if they can't even manage to stop people without tickets entering, what chance checking the vaccination status of every person trying to gain entry (with or without a...

A fairly fast offence-to-apology time. Just a poor choice of word(s). Seems to be enedemic in the tories.

Maybe - but my experience is that it is more likely someone infectious will bump into me. I take care to try to avoid any bumping into people - as the bumper or bumpee. But others are not so careful.

I see Javid has stirred it up: Anger over Sajid Javid’s advice to not ‘cower’ from Covid Bereaved families, Labour and Lib Dems all condemn health secretary’s ‘insensitivity’ I suspect Javid does not understand the etymology of "cower". Why did Burns write: Wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim’rous...

The level of ignorance to and beyond the point of abject stupidity and unpleasantness displayed by our so-called PM almost defies belief. https://www.theguardian.com/theobserver/commentisfree/2021/jul/24/get-covid-and-live-longer-no-it-doesnt-work-like-that

Sorry to read that. Thanks for letting us know.
