They could so easily have drawn the sting of this failure. By simply showing clearly, openly, and honestly, what was achieved each day and a brief summary of what changes are happening to improve things tomorrow. They could even have included setbacks - we are changing xxx so tomorrow's number...

Make of this what you will. Did Wuhan Institute order a special batch of bleach and UV lights? Fact check: Is the virus manmade? Trump said he can’t say why, but he’s confident that the coronavirus originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. But the office of the director of national...

He said a lot of the things that need to be said, I agree. And the comments I could see show that he really has hit the button. They all hate him for what he wrote. His hand-shaking crap was so obviously based on Princess Di and HIV - she did it and everyone loved her. But covid-19 is so...

What we really don't see is how many people have actually got covid-19. Nor can we. Was today a "say anything you like, just don't mention the war, oops, number of tests" day?

Ah but, if you have a 5G GigaCube they'll be able to locate it using their 5G phones...

Cars are not the answer. Surely none of us wish to go back to the days of cars parked up and down high streets all over the country. Smaller. Lighter. Slower. For people not needing wheelchairs, but unable to manage the walk from the car park to the shops. Or who find the walk to the Post...

I have an Audi. Not everyone drives like a loon.

I am not now and never have been a member of SAGE. Phew! Got that out of the way. But has everyone else been a member without me? Google executive took part in Sage meeting, tech firm confirms Attendance of Demis Hassabis raises further questions about secretive group advising UK government...

What I really want to see is non-bicycles with massively improved availability and access. Suitable for people who for various reasons either cannot ride "proper" bikes, or cannot safely do so. For example, people who would likely suffer excessive injury from a simply fall off, or who have poor...

OK until they burn your house down.

No criticism of Colonel Tom, at all. But why can people go flying when I am not allowed to go driving (beyond necessity)?

Remember when people talked about "rampling"? As in this from 2012: It was Barry Norman who first coined the verb "to rample" (def: "an ability to reduce a man to helplessness though a chilly sensuality"). Now, here's your chance to have your own words virtually rampled: Charlotte Rampling is...

Rather concerned at the proposed vaccine. Not what it is. But what it is called! The Jenner Institute and Oxford Vaccine Group have been working on a vaccine, called ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, and said earlier this month large-scale production capacity was being put in place to make millions of doses...

The dog ate my homework. I'll bring it in tomorrow. Or maybe the next day. And even if I don't bring it in, I might bring in the sheet with the title on it. Anyway, it really doesn't matter that 47,471 of the promised tests weren't done. Moses didn't make it to the promised land. Is it too much...

We went out yesterday and, because there was also some clothing to collect, went to M&S. Around14:00. Quiet. Very quiet. Only one person in the queue for the food section so almost straight in. Some staff wearing visors, but probably as many not. They have put in place a "must zig-zag up and...

Ah! Right - I looked too soon and the snippet from the paper didn't, to me, look that fantastic. Shorter stay but similar death rate.

I haven't read it but my immediate thought was: My goodness, medics who had treated someone who had voted Labour! Followed by remembering Brian Redhead's indignation that a politician presumed to know how he voted. In this country with a secret ballot.

I thought Gilead shares had dropped because Remdesivir had proved not useful! This being just one paper: In this study of adult patients admitted to hospital for severe COVID-19, remdesivir was not associated with statistically significant clinical benefits...

There is an opposition. Now. And this development is totally unacceptable. Perhaps if the government accepted lack of PPE as a universal cause, each case would not need to investigate the issue. Otherwise, it must be properly and fully considered in each and every case in which it is brought...

Today: Raab says there are always things to learn in a situation like this. But the government has acted on the basis of the best medical advice, he says. But just how does he know it is the best medical advice? Does he have a valid comparison?
