Labour takes poll lead as parties see major switch in fortunes Keir Starmer ahead by four points on who would be better prime minister, as underlying figures suggest government failings in pandemic to blame for reversal Labour has recorded its first poll lead since Boris Johnson became prime...

I don't think we have much of an idea as to what happens to people when they are re-infected compared with original infection. I have read suggestions that it might be less serious, or more serious, or (as so much) variable with some less and some more seriously affected. Add onto that varying...

I do wish that people wouldn't talk/write about herd immunity as if it were something that exists as a separate entity. It is the consequence of lack of targets for transmission - as that article does say, after a while.

Yikes! Is he that incompetent? Johnson’s “friends” briefed the Times last week that he was not enjoying the job of prime minister, beset by money worries without the prop of his £275,000 columnist’s salary and struggling to afford a nanny for baby Wilfred...

Where did you find your doctor? Wish mine did. :)

Oh great... Dominic Cummings' data law shake-up a danger to trade, says EU Exclusive: proposed rewriting of data protection rules said to put vital cooperation in doubt https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/sep/25/dominic-cummings-data-law-shake-up-a-danger-to-trade-says-eu

I have been expecting some move by PC - they have been too quiet recently: Plaid Cymru sets out possible roadmap for Welsh independence Report calls for ‘exploratory referendum’ to look at options, followed by an in-out vote...

Except that even in areas with a much longer history than Covid-19, dogs (usually) outperform technology. And this snippet even points out human olfaction: http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/40314/1/WRAP_Arasaradnam_Letter_to_the_Editor_Feb_2011_revised.pdf

And the dog that is called ET. :)

Yet again, we are NOT world-beating - even if we eventually get there. 'Close to 100% accuracy': Helsinki airport uses sniffer dogs to detect Covid Researchers running Helsinki pilot scheme say dogs can identify virus in seconds...

And aircraft have been affected - or the reporting of aircraft positions have been affected. But it seems next to impossible to have a GPS system that cannot be spoofed or jammed.

They were electable enough for me to vote for them. (Largely because PC didn't stand a hope of getting in and I'd hate to have voted for them and by so doing let the tory in.)

I know there are techniques - but I want it to be natural, you look up company on a search engine and go to their site - even if that is a window onto facebook.

Have they not spent a fortune buying a fleet of low orbit satellites to implement a UK GPS? Ministers 'seek alternatives' for UK sat-nav https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-54283493

Whilst I really would like to see the end of facebook, I am realistic enough to know it ain’t going to happen in the next few months! But, I really would like to see some real progress in the fundamental approach so many companies have towards their web presence. For example, companies should...

Good news - in a minor sense. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/sep/24/cambridge-analytica-directorship-ban-alexander-nix How about a gaol sentence as well? This is just a minor inconvenience and slight embarrassment (if he is capable of that feeling).

This stinks in so many ways. They could have discussed and explained the need to be on at least IOS 13.5 months ago. By so doing, no-one would now be surprised. Disappointed and rather annoyed, maybe. But aware. And with sufficient warning to plan on what to do. I'd be especially annoyed if I...

Yes - I too went there and read. But other than acting as a way of drawing in another medicine, I was struggling to see what the effects of higher or lower linoleic acid, alone, might be.

I couldn't decide whether greater or lesser linoleic acid consumption would be advantageous! But it is soluble in ethanol so perhaps we should just go down the boozer? Or is that "shouldn't"?
