I continue to question whether it did first appear there. Not that I currently have any evidence to the contrary. It might be "best guess", or "obvious", but I'll not be enormously surprised if we find out otherwise, in time.

Despite many questions about the sense of any form of health passport, they are being promoted. Wonderful how the technology discussed requires facial recognition - which is rather ineffective on people wearing masks. And just how many tests would be required to ensure that health passports...

Can we join the European group of the union of nations to work together? Maybe, allow people working together to travel freely and work in all the countries as needed? They'll obviously have to work to the same technical standards... Added: Having the European Medicines Agency in the UK...

I certainly wouldn't buy double-glazing from SAGE. Public's trust in science at risk, warns former No 10 adviser Ex-chief scientific adviser sets up rival panel of experts over Covid-19 ‘lack of transparency’ . . King cited the government policy on face masks, which he said appeared to be...

If the women and children bring back SARS-CoV-2 and infect the men, it probably doesn't make much sense. Also, it assumes that male children are not more vulnerable than female children. I have no idea - is there any evidence on this question?

They posted them out without instructions, without return labels, and without (for example) identifying whether care home staff who are not nurses are even allowed to administer them.

I know! It is the utterly trustworthy DM, but... PICTURED: US Army reservist at center of Chinese conspiracy theories that claim SHE brought virus to Wuhan during military games last year as patient zero - and now fears for her family's life...

Many online sellers do almost exactly that. They take your order, and put the package in the "to go" (or "to be picked up") pile and tick the "Sent" box. A tiny bit annoying at times but if done without malice and simply as a convenince, fair enough. I would be at all surprised if simply...

Arrogant idiot: Gove praised health secretary Matt Hancock’s “amazing success in increasing testing”, which he said means the public will have “greater confidence” in the government as they move into the next phase of lockdown. I will have just as much, or (more likely) just as little...

I predicted that test numbers would peak then fall... Gove speaks very fast but he just admitted the government produced 76,496 tests yesterday, you don't need to be Einstein to know this is below the 100,000 target

The 2019 Military World Games, officially known as the 7th CISM Military World Games and commonly known as Wuhan 2019, was held from October 18–27, 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei, China.[2][3] The 7th Military World Games was the first international military multi-sport event to be held in China and also...

No, of course I wouldn't want Tesco to be the government. But they would appear to have acted with much more urgency than Schweppes – you know who. How Tesco's 'doomsday exercise' helped it cope with the coronavirus Supermarket boss Dave Lewis details how remote working tools were in place...

Back to brexit... No-deal Brexit could wreck UK’s chance of leading Covid-19 global research Nobel scientists warn Britain will lose ‘superpower’ status if access barred to €100bn EU fund

Bad URL - ends with ... Found it. Johnson, 55, said it was “hard to believe” his health had deteriorated in just a few days, saying he “couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting better”. This is the PM who is supposedly in charge of everything - and therefore needed to understand covid-19. I...

So why might it be a good idea in future - but hasn't been so far? Grant Shapps said he was “actively looking at” quarantining people travelling to the UK from abroad to keep coronavirus infection rates under control. “I think it is important that as we are seeing the numbers decrease and the...

Where did that <vomit> reaction disappear just when I needed it? Given that mitochonrial DNA comes from the mother, the baby is significantly more mother than father. (Ignoring the XY differences.)

Whatever the Chinese did or didn't do, there was a lot of information about it coming out of China. And a fair proportion of it was potentially very helpful. Just recently the Chinese got slagged off for increasing their statistics. I ask you, just how good have our own numbers been? When the...

Past tense? :)

Am I not a hero for surviving? No, actually. There are probably relatively few who for whom getting covid-19 was very arguably due to failure to abide by advice. (Except where that advice was "wear PPE" or similar and impossible due to lack of PPE.) Boris Johnson’s doctors had plan to announce...

The Chinese government has produced this little video. In the animation posted online by China’s official Xinhua news agency, red curtains open to reveal a stage featuring Lego-like figures in the form of a terracotta warrior wearing a face mask and the Statue of Liberty.
