If that were truly permanent, and no communication ever, it would be good news. :D

More likely an old pressed glass fishing float at crystal ball prices. Supplied by one of our mates without any tendering, given the form of this so-called government.

Having lived a long way from the coast for too much of my life, being close is beyond luxury. It feels like a life saver. That is not a reference to any impact on Covid-19, rather the psychological impact of being able to go to the sea whenever we want and everything that means. And the...

Given the number who suffer "Long Covid" (or whatever it is called today), let's hope that survival isn't regarded as complete success.

Hmm - theory or reality?

Don't misread it as anything like as positive as you suggest. They have long published some quite good health pieces. Sometimes, even very good. And the next day you see Goop or other rubbish being pushed even harder and ever more ludicrously. The aim seems to be to publish pieces which cover...

Although we are getting a lot of wind right now, it does tend to be windier over winter. Which might be a positive! And, what is the effect of rain? Does it wash it out of the air? Does it even effectively disinfect the air? The food factories aspect should be helping in our understanding...

As if on cue - as part of our current Covid-19 infectiousness discussion: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/immune-cells-common-cold-may-recognize-sars-cov-2 I know this has been mooted before, so not wholly new.

It was my first thought too - but something reminded me of the screening products such as I linked to. :)

Are you sure that carbon fibre would be better? https://www.instructables.com/id/Carbon-tape-Faraday-phone-pocket/ I've got a time unlimited deal SIM - just have to use it every so often. Several GB.

'Tain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It) I cannot divorce the algorithm from its implementation. A bit like using Pythagorus' theorem on a non-right-angled triangle. It would be nonsense. But declaiming how right was Pythagorus doesn't make the choice to use it inappropriately any...

Appears children are far more important wrt Covid-19 than hitherto assumed: https://www.newsweek.com/children-coronavirus-spread-symptoms-1525878

We are seeing a very wide variation in behaviour. People have been pretty good. But as holidaymakers have arrived, more people seem simply to be forgetting or ignoring distancing. Like diving in front to reach something from a supermarket shelf. Or going past rather than round the other way. I...

Rather an assumption that a bike thief can read.

Not entirely convinced by your argument. In areas which have had very low rates, like Ceredigion, it was the distancing and so on which prevented transmission. So their vulnerable people would be just as vulnerable as before. Do you think that an outbreak there will have the same death rate as...

I'd want to see what Apple announce before making any choices about such things. https://www.macrumors.com/guide/airtags/ Likely more expensive, possibly much more expensive, but might put pressure on other products/vendors.

The recently changed statistics for Covid-19 deaths seems to show a much lower number than the ONS. If you have Covid-19, and are tested, but survive more than 28 days, I assume you will not be in the first figure. Even if you were in an ICU being treated for the entire time. After all, once...

Not everyone thinks Williamson is a safe pair of hands! Just why anyone thinks the PM would ensure confidence, I just don't understand. Most especially as, because he has not sacked Williamson, he has effectively expressed faith in him. Which already puts Johnson and the trade unions and MPs...

In my view, it should be a Get Out of Gaol Free card. We use British English!

Don't worry - very soon there will be loads more optimism. I'm quite certain.
