Yes it has an App allowing the air con to be switched on and set from home, but no use to me since I have no mobile signal at home. It also has two air con timers that I can set. One I have set to the usual day and time I go to the supermarket so when I arrive at the car when it's cold it has...

I don't like the Teslas fo several reasons, and anyway even my current Leaf model is on Eco virtually all the time since in normal mode its performance far exceeds that of most of the usual traffic. .

A good idea, but I'm beyond that sort of help as I remarked to Nev. When it's too cold for me, which isn't very cold for most, that means indoors or in my e-car since I need all over warmth to avoid major problems. The solution has been to stop the activities which expose me to the cold for...

For many years now we've had near epidemic levels of asthma among the young, which often clears up during their twenties. My niece was one of them, having spells in intensive care and nearly losing her life at 18. This has been highlighted in the campaigns against traffic polution...

. There's three police cars in the background, so I'm wondering of they TPAC'd the scooterist? :) .

They might well work better for cycling, but my need is more for when I'm walking in the country and that is where they are useless. The problem with Raynauds syndrome is that the fingers lose circulation first, then spreading to the hands. But the heating in the gloves is rising from the...

Indeed, I've got some of it, but sorry to say it doesn't work well enough for me, either not warm enough or if warm enough, not lasting long enough before the battery runs out. The most useless have been heated gloves. For winter cycling exercise long ago I use to pre-heat gloves and shoes in...

Indeed. My concern in being critical of the vaccine deficiencies now is that I want to have any complacency they may have dispelled. They are contentedly making unimaginable billions now, so before all of that immense windfall disappears to shareholders I want to see it providing a very large...

Thanks for this, very interesting. Of course the exceptionally high Autumn/Winter death rates of the unvaccinated over 60s are easy to explain, the unvaccinated are also very likely to be Covid deniers who don't mask or distance, plus cold weather is a very big factor in the elderly. That is...

I'm quite sure that physical separation from any possible virus source is the only reliable way of avoiding infection, be it by distance with fresh air or fully effective filtration. The vaccines alone are clearly not a reliable method as your evidence of just one person's contacts also shows. .

Johnson and Johnson for their Janssen vaccine quoted 66%. Since that got approval around the same time on a similar basis, I suspected that was probably a more truthful overall figure, probably common to all. Indeed. The emergence of far more transmissible variants has rather blown it for...

After briefly flirting with alcohol at 18 years old I stopped and haven't touched it since. They foolishly took a good look at the world around them and despaired. .

They also remained compulsory on London's transport due to TfL local law. Widely disobeyed though. .

You don't know that, nobody does since it cannot be demonstrated: Those who get themselves fully vaccinated are also most likely to mask and socially distance so are much less likely to contract the disease. The anti vaxxers who refuse the vaccines are the most likely to not mask or socially...

But all those are effective in preventing infection in the great majority of cases and their protections are very long lasting, often lifelong. The Covid vaccines fall well short on both those counts, the high protection percentages quoted only for a very short period. Often two doses plus a...

Indeed originally, just before Covid and the vaccine new speak. And as your quote admits, "may" trigger an immune response. An acceptable vaccine does trigger an immune response. .

I have no idea of the new speak definition, but it appears to be the peak point of protection against acquiring the disease, certainly not a lasting one. Prior to covid the definition was the lasting level of prevention from catching the disease, often whole life protection from one dose. Not...

Agreed, but they do primarily act as vaccines. The Covid vaccines don't guarantee immunity in anyone. Furthermore, a vaccinated person who catches Covid is as effective in transmitting the disease as anyone unvaccinated. Impacting on the severity is the primary benefit of the Covid vaccines...

Wrong. The efficacy of a vaccine in preventing an infection is precisely the measure of a vaccine's worth. That is why it is expressed in percentage terms and those that fail to reach above 60% are regarded as failures. This and the above are precisely what I posted on March 8th in opening...

Agreed, that is why I include that advice virtually every time I post on this subject. And as I've posted just above, I consider those who don't to be foolish and anti-social. .
