Hand washing has become really important: Everyone should be able to enjoy the sunshine, and we understand that people want to enjoy public spaces, but it is important we don’t undo the hard work of the British public in reducing the transmission of this virus. It is a matter for local...

Just point them at the SS Richard Montgomery. Day trips of crowded boats...

As someone more concerned with having too low a cholesterol level than too high, I have to agree with him that statins for everyone is an iatrogenic epidemic. Yes, even with very low cholesterol, they wanted to prescribe me statins. It has dropped even further and is now well below bottom of range.

The other day I suggested that no GPS-like system is 100% secure and reliable. The most sensible thing for multiple satnav systems is for them to back each other up. Whichever goes wrong, the others can be used instead. If some organisation decided to attack GPS, Galileo, or the others, there...

Who owns the other 80%? And, so far as I can see, OneWeb are primarily low earth orbit people going for high capacity comms rather than GPS-like merchants. UK poised to invest £500m in satellite rival to EU's Galileo system PM and chancellor back purchase of 20% stake in troubled US operator...

Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro said on Thursday that he might have contracted the novel coronavirus previously and he may do another test for the disease, having already tested negative for the virus multiple times weeks earlier.

Ferric good news.

Reads like a mediaeval weapon. :)

I did mean that the vehicles would be properly sanitised between passengers! :) It is difficult to understand why a new network of testing locations is required.

Does he ever do otherwise? He too probably has brain issues from covid-19. If I wanted to be charitable, I'd allow the possibility of providing some sort of sanitised taxi service. But am quite sure it won't happen. It would probably be easier to devise a mobile testing service than any way of...

Fantastic for those in England who don't have cars. Hancock introduces 'walk-through' test centres following fierce criticism People without cars can book appointments at six new Covid-19 testing sites in England Sometime, they might let us know how those without cars can safely make their...

It has been suggested many times that Johnson should not be PM - now for some evidence that suggests why that might actually be true. The effects of illness on people holding important roles, and I extend this to many diseases and many jobs, is difficult. Holders will probably try to deny any...

Thank goodness for some who can still manage to raise a smile: Think you have to visit Twitter to run the video.

Half of the 1m+ is just what we have always known and understood. It is two metres in, more or less, open air. Put something in-between, like a window or a wall or a plastic sheet, and it never was 2 metres. So saying that it can be one metre if there is something else in the way is treating us...

I fail to see any good or acceptable reason to give Johnson a chance when there are so many others who could easily make a more compelling case to be PM.

It should be astonishing that Johnson has failed to even tell the Welsh Government why it is OK to reduce distancing requirements. Of course, it isn't. It is simply yet more incompetence and hiding of information. WG: Welsh Government still has not seen evidence to support reducing two-metre...

Anyone got an Oxford English Dictionary handy? To explain to Johnson what "responsibility" actually means. Ends up as just another lie. Johnson says of course he accepts responsibility for everything that happened. But the discharge of patients into care homes was done on the basis of...

But there are areas where drinking in the street is illegal - or at the least, police can confiscate or pour away any alcoholic drinks found.

Ten years ago, we weren't relying on GPS to the same extent. Things like lane navigation, location of utilities (underground services being an obvious example), etc., really do need high accuracy. Either by improvements to the satellite system or augmentation by other approaches. Yes, someone...
