Again. I disagree. The principle is that everyone believe that everyone else can infect them and they walk and interact accordingly. So whether one is or is not asymptomatic, you assume everyone else is. The 3 metre spacing works very well on paths and roads . Any of my local shops have set up...

I would seek to differ. A family travelling from London to their cottage in Devon make no difference.. in fact if they can wander the byeways in the West country, staying a distance from other people , its a win win . The problem is stopping for coffees in motorway cafes. Likewise it makes no...

Yes that is sensible. I was expecting a big run on house paints and emulsions ..but no. What with people stuck at home. I think that people are worried about not having a job to come back to. Aldi and Lidl put out adds inviting particularly drapery and clothes shop assistants ,abd restaurant...

Force is measured in Newtons. Unless the driving force is greater than the retarding force the device stalls...or gets driven backwards. Distance is measured in metres Work is measured in Joules and is the product of Force x Distance. The Work done in a second is called Power and measured in...

Tommie. Wouldn't cost me a thought.. Confronting and challenging mainly young men was my job description for decades.. But two more straws in the wind... The legislation signed into law, today gives serious power to detain and force people to stay at home.,and 300 new apprentice Gardai...

..Yes but the group which presents at A&E is a subset , If the person believed they are not bad enough, they don't attend..

..careful Woosh, his age , general fitness etc all matter. The entire spectrum from little symptoms to serious breathing difficulty are all present.

Fully agree. My daughter is on a late shift at Portadown ,and I travel to Newry Station to collect her . She is often the only person on the train. There is no road traffic to and in Newry. My understanding is that the racing took place, but no punters admitted. So the only people present...

I fully agree with you!. We in Ireland had been advised by 9th March, to reduce contacts and things were going well,until Friday 13th.. basically the start of the Patrick's Day weekend ,when large numbers started going to a few of the Monster pubs in Dublin. Now, by this stage, Sporting...

They were wearing them in Saigon 10 years ago!.. . I think curfew would be counter productive.. why would you not get up on your bike and do a few rounds of the Lagan Valley at 2:00 am... Now as you know I live in a village, and the amount of voluntary compliance has been staggeringly good.

Well if those people in the Italian hospital are infected ..which they are, it makes no difference what they are absorbing RNA fragments along with their oxygen. ..The amount of RNA they themselves are producing dwarfs it. So yes stay home, limit exposure by going to supermarkets at slack...

Regrettably your company has no presence in my country. Which is why I bought the Forme for my wife. The hub motor could stall on a very steep slope where the torque is less than the work required. A Crank motor can have any torque delivered to the wheel, depending only on the diameter of the...

Probably less contagious than sitting in a centrally ventilated lecture hall with 300 others for hours on end. Containment works... And in the UK should have started 2 weeks ago.

..not necessarily..and this is a problem that maybe Germany shares. People die from linked infections from opportunistic microbes. So while the statistics of the number of dead people is accurate, the proximate cause of death may very well be masked. Meanwhile the virus becomes more endemic.

With the low gear on the Motus, I feel I could climb a wall, ..with enough adhesion. In fact at very high slopes the crank drive MUST always be superior,since torque and speed can be interchanged. The hub drive when it works ,does give a welcome Woosh

The number of people he would affect would be more limited.

That might be so in the UK, but here, only contactless cards, exact change ,and if the purchase is big ..like a fuel fill, Card and sanitiser beside the machine. I find it vaguely comforting that our PM was an A&E doctor, and the President of the EU council, a medical doctor. Leo gave what...

No... Keeping the schools open is assine. Kids share everything.. sandwiches and headlice. They then bring them home . As a containment strategy it is useless.

Of course you did.. you are still alive. Its the ones who did equally stupid things that didn't who aren't.

Yes Fingers it is extremely serious. But no it will not peak in the UK ..at least not for a number of weeks. The UK will have an exponential rises into the millions , with tens of thousands of deaths , due to not closing schools earlier. Its not that the children will die, but their Grannies will.
