    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The sort of DIY question you really wouldn't have expected to see asked. Anywhere. Obviously, was likely painful beyond belief. But I do wonder, if he managed to kill himself with one, had he used it on someone else it is entirely possible it would have had the same result. Hence, not really a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    With our lack of written constitution, we probably can. Though it would be the HoC - and the PM of the day - deciding to do it. Not us.

    Would have been so much better if they could have come out with a joint agreed statement between PHE/NHS/etc. and Pfizer/BioNTech. However much fudge they might have needed.

    Partner mentioned that to me the other day - but neither of us has seen it since. Is it still going? Or was it pulled?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    This county has taken a turn for the worse - 84 reported in today's figures (obviously applying to yesterday). A number which would have been quite bad as a weekly total through much of the pandemic. Though has been quite bad recently.

    We have only got until next Wednesday if Trump doesn't decide Armageddon is preferable to being a loser. Seriously worrying when the senior politicians are worried about the possibility. Mind, we might be a touch safer than Teheran.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They have decided to vaccinate NHS staff immediately. So much for led by the well-researched JCVI plan. (Not saying they are wrong. Seemed pretty obvious to me that if all the medics are ill, it becomes rather less significant who else has been vaccinated - anyone else who is ill will suffer.)...

    If they are using something approximating standard single-use glass vials, recycling is somewhat difficult. Usual technique is to cut the top of the vial off. I do not know how Oxford-AZ is packaged - only that Pfizer/BioNTech is in nominal five dose bottles. But as it is not being made and...

    If the UK Space Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing Programme existed and worked, we might know how far away from Tahiti we are. (Shouldn't they have named it Positioning, Navigation and Timing System? PaNTS for short.) I suspect most who do not wear masks are being bolshy rather than...

    That is exactly what is needed - a mechanism which allows MoPs like us to read and see what has been thought through and planned. With feedback that lets us point out potential issues. Obviously, if a million are contributing, there has to be a way of editing and handling vast numbers of...

    Remarkable confidence. If they start to go down with Covid-19 themselves, we might find ourselves short. Their locations are also important. There are difficulties in qualified people getting from, say, Aberdeen to Swansea, or vice versa. But my point was that the issues about having to...

    Some (fingers crossed) potential good news: Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine protects against new variants – study There’s some very encouraging news from new research suggesting that the Covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer/BioNTech protects against two new variants that are rapidly spreading across the UK...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    All countries could and should have predicted: If a vaccine does arrive, it will need to be injected by suitably qualified people. We will need at least one injection per person. That means a lot of injection people. Followed by: Make a list of suitable people. E.g. open registration for...
