I was just meaning that it is so incredibly feasible. Unless something else is using up C-17 capacity?

If it is such a good idea, why didn't they do it weeks (or years) ago? Could an accountancy company call in a C-17, if required?

No idea whatsoever about physical packing, but a C-17 can carry around 77 tonnes and the PPE was reported to be 89 tonnes. So, in terms of weight, they could get most of it onto one flight.

I do think that two (or more) different diseases seems more likely. Just a bit of a surprise to have them with such similar symptoms - well, apart from death rate.

What? This Gavin Williamson: Gavin Williamson sacked as defence secretary for Huawei leak – as it happened Prime minister asks minister to leave after inquiry concludes ‘no other credible version of events to explain this leak has been identified’

That is what I had thought. But is there another factor? Could speculate all night, but it would be good to be certain.

I am seeing more and more people claiming that in pretty much any time from October to March, they had a spectacularly awful dose of something. When they compare the symptom list, they are convinced there is at least a reasonable chance it was covid-19. Often, I would simply ignore this. But I...

I too have been wondering. Did the ST know about the Observer piece? Or vice versa? Perhaps because the Sunday Telegraph reported: Prime Minister Boris Johnson has begun issuing orders to ministers as he recovers from coronavirus, the Sunday Telegraph reports. The paper says Mr Johnson has...

Another plank of Project Fear! Oh NO!!!!! Johnson might come back....:mad:

Whereas the Observer (and other) articles are entirely right in their damning allegations.

Ho hum. Revealed: The UK’s “Three Stage” Exit Strategy To Ease The Coronavirus Lockdown A "best case scenario" would see some non-essential retail shops and industries reopen in early to mid-May, further social distancing measures relaxed over the summer, but the elderly...

Observer has pretty good review of what happened when: How did Britain get its response to coronavirus so wrong? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/18/how-did-britain-get-its-response-to-coronavirus-so-wrong One sentence: The Observer has been told that at least two senior government...

If you needed 6 B12 injections, that sounds like loading doses. After which you should continue to receive regular injections. Usual (inadequate) frequency is three months. Many need them more often.

A bit more autarky might have meant we analysed our requirements for pandemics and ensured that we were able to manufacture our own. Not on a protectionist basis, but simply to guarantee supply. The USA has long held strategic reserves - of petroleum, helium, uranium (though authority for that...

Headlines in The Times are not exactly goods news for our absent PM: Coronavirus: 38 days when Britain sleepwalked into disaster Boris Johnson skipped five Cobra meetings on the virus, calls to order protective gear were ignored and scientists’ warnings fell on deaf ears. Failings in February...

Amazing the lengths people will go to in order to be tested. Did they release the right ones? Unlike the prisoners. (Mind, given that the wrongly-released prisoners returned when asked, perhaps they were OK to be released?)

You can only drain something that is present. Just how can you drain away faith in Hancock? Also, as I understand, Raab does not have fire and fire powers... So what then? (I'm far from convinced Johnson is remotely fit enough to come back and take control. Hmm, something familiar about that...

Followed up: The government has accepted that some personal protective equipment (PPE) is in short supply and promised that a large consignment, including 400,000 gowns – , is due to arrive in the UK from Turkey on Sunday. On Saturday, unions and professional bodies said that NHS staff may...

Totally agree that "up to" should be banned. (Mind, "upto" is even more ban-worthy.)
