Dominic Raab said this morning that there are 9 patients in hospitals with Omicron. Today is the day that Omicron will take over Delta, I would have expected an Omicron wave as big as Delta but apparently not yet. I am generally for erring on the side of caution and covid preventative measures...

or governments' fear mongering.

we don't know how many have had covid without reporting though. Death rates this year is a quarter of last year same time. I think hospital admissions is a better yardstick. The way to deal with covid in the future is going to be taking one antiviral tablet after you have a positive test. I am...

from initial reports two years ago, the kill rate from covid19 was put at 2.3%. 97% will brush it off. However, I dispute that humans went back as far ago as that.

I am worried about the long term effect of constantly keeping the immune system overactive, ready to fight covid.

What do you mean? you don't trust Dr Google then?

none of those vaccines works properly. They are all based on some small fragment of the virus, so when the virus mutates as it has done, their primary neutralisation capability is useless, they all rely on the broad T-cell boost of the immune system to work. If I have to choose, I would just...

I am a bit fed up with covid to be honest. We've got 3 jabs, the rest is in our genes.

I am sure some people at the Daily Express would like the WHO to have that power!

that is possible but I reckon they try to cover themselves in case Omicron turns out to be milder than Delta and the combined infection is mild. Sage's reputation would then be in the bin. We'll know in a couple of weeks. Just look at the number of tests versus number of positive tests. In the...

never!? I am surprised. Maybe not entirely. The graph was interesting though.

the virus can hang in the air and stay potent for days or weeks even, or it just stay dormant. BTW, the 1918 Spanish flu was reconstructed by Dr Terrence Tumpey in 2005 at the CDC. It's kept under lock and key so nobody can use it. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16210530/

there was actually no story about her taking part in any party at No 10 last Christmas.

she said on the clip that she did not stay and went home though. Her job is to gloss over anything that may be seen as proof of Johnson's laziness or incompetence or illegal and she is clearly not very good at it. Some people may say Johnson threw her under a bus, I reckon Johnson is right to...

for a rough estimate, carbon footprint of a turbine is the weight of the (pylon + nacelle) * 1.85 For example, the popular GE 1.5MW model, the whole thing weighs 164 tonnes, so its carbon footprint is about 304 tonnes of CO2.

Stratton's appointment as Johnson's spokeperson was a mistake. She was carted off to another role pretty quickly afterward to COP26. My guess immediately after her one and only screen test in the Press Room. The thing is Johnson wanted someone else to take the blame and he's got it. I wonder...

they were practicing lying on TV for their master. Stratton was obviously unsuitable for the job, she could not keep a straight face. She should have practiced a lot of that in front of a mirror before getting on that podium. Contrast that with Whitty's performance last night.

You may be a bit too harsh here. Stratton's background was a journalist at the BBC*, Guardian and ITV. She had visibly troubles finding the right (weasel) words to call a 'fictional' party that went against covid rules at the time until Johnson's other aides offered their help. As I said, her...

I reckon the soft tories may make a come back. Last time runner up Jeremy Hunt is still available.

who do you think would replace BJ?
