If I had responsibility for a police force or an army. Generally fit young men and women,.. I would segregate the platoons in each company, and arrange for one platoon to go to a Covid Party. Then when they had recovered , repeat the process. After 16 weeks one would have an operational command.

And a great St Patrick's Day to you all!.

The difference is that the spokes are longer and therefore more flexible in a non hub motor device. My original ebike, with small wheels and hub was getting to the stage of progressively popping spokes ,until I brought it to the local Halfords. I had to buy a package of Spokes ..a company SJS...

Funny you should say that. All the train stations in RoI have paid parking. One of the methods is using an app... The app downloaded to mobile phone. Credit card details loaded once. The default option is pay again.. where the location of the car park was preloaded. ,Then just the cards CvC...

We have these machines at home .. eg oxygen concentration machine and CPAP ..both used by my son. The Oxygen concentrator is not a DIY job .. uses rare earth elements and adsorption. When I suggested washing machine manufacturers as ventilators, I was not joking. The inlet valves and...

My daughter spends her working day in gloves. Gloves can be moistened with alcohol or bleach . The driver puts them on at home and periodically moistens them from a bleach wipe. It is not absolute but it reduces contamination by factors of hundreds. I , when As I have now, go to the shop, use...

The thing to do is go out at midday and take your 10 miles cycle. You are away from others, you get excercise. I hurt my wrist during Storm Ciara, so have been walking instead. Just back from my 1:20 walk along the seashore and housing estates.

Interesting. The French Government has requisitioned all face masks in France. .. and they will be responsible for distributing them as needs be. I have a particular interest in a part of Morbihan,in Brittany, where I have property. There are no cases reported there but it is in a cordon...
