    one possibility is the number of people who have antibodies in Croydon is about same as national average (90%), = vaccinated + having had Covid. Less of the former and more of the latter.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we still don't know how long covid will still be with us. On top of the deaths, there may be an equal number of people seriously injured by covid. There has not been a more serious disease in my lifetime.

    it's not brexit, there is no point for asking nor giving an extension. The taliban are not stopping foreigners and Afghans leaving the country now, why should they change after the end of the month?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think most of the money (135 billion dollars a year) was wasted on private army contractors like the 16,000 US personnel employed to maintain the Afghan army's helicopters. After Trump did the deal with the Taliban, he pulled the plug on the contractors, leaving the now useless helicopters...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You do have a cool head in general but not on covid. Do you realise that we are in worse situation than at the same time last year, despite vaccinations? Then, there were 100 people admitted to hospital and 12 deaths in a day, now, it's 800 admissions and 100 deaths! The virus kills about the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The situation this summer is different from last year because of vaccination. However, new variants can still cause a lot of uncertainty whether the NHS can cope this winter. The key consideration is the number of deaths vs number of new hospital admissions. At the moment, about 100 die out of...

    I don't think that our doctors are that stupid, not being able to differentiate between flu and covid. Flu kills indirectly by aggravating co-infections which are themselves often caused by streps. Covid kills mostly by causing directly severe chest infections. You only have to look at the...

    so how do you explain that 12% of NHS beds are currently used to treat covid then? That is a lot more than treating flu.

    I dispute the view that bombing is OK and regime change was always doomed to failure. You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs like you can't stop international terrorism without some attempt to regime change. Carpet bombing from 30,000ft above and using drone assassinations, shock...

    there is a big difference. Vietnamese do not mix religious beliefs with politics.

    Find me a successful Islamic Republic. I would agree but suspect that may be no longer true. People believed that the earth was the centre of the universe for thousands of years and the system worked well.

    the risk of burning the controller is higher with cargo bikes, that's why I wouldn't want to sell BBSes for cargos.

    The main problem is the 24" wheels of the Yuba Kombi midtail. I don't have any hub kit in that size.

    for climbing power, the BBS01 is better but for reliability, the Heinzmann is nearly indestructible. The BBS01 may overheat if you work it too hard.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am not too bothered about the absolute number of covid deaths. Flecc pointed out at the beginning of the crisis, covid deaths will simply shift the life expectancy down a little bit. No real consequence if you disregard the bereavement aspect. I am more worried about the degradation of our...
