In which case as I've proposed before, a very high proportion of the population are immune and a further high proportion only suffer very slight effects from infection. It all fits. With aerosol transmission in a very crowded place like London we did get a double size hit straight away as all...

Agreed, but my posts are on the basis that chance was lost long ago and panic was still the wrong answer. All we've done is waste vast sums of money yet still achieved record deaths. .

China is rather bigger than us though, we attempted to build SEVEN Nightingales, but I don't think most of them were ever completed or used. .

I'm not convinced, I think by shutting down all routine hospital treatment, cancelling almost all operations, shifting all care patients to care homes and large scaling the Nightingales in both size and numbers, we went well over the top. A bit more either/or and a bit less panic would have...

Just heard on the radio that London's ExCel 4000 bed Nightingale emergency hospital only treated a total of 50 Covid-19 patients before being closed. .

Odd, and I've no idea what it's for, but I can just see the edge of it in the photo below from their web site, so it is supposed to be there:

It's a very wise question. Yes, any warranty return has to be to the dealer you bought it from, so that is immediately a problem. However, waiting for it to appear in London could also be too. The lockdown has created a boom in cycling and in turn a big shortage of bikes of all kinds, even...

Her birth surname was Singh, so she probably changed it by deed poll. It is dreamed up since it's spelt with double b and an e ending as Debbonaire, not as Barry has shown it in it's original spelling. .

It's the national "We", sometimes called the Royal We. Really? Well I hope you don't cause as much aggro as the last one 2000 odd years ago, one was more than enough. .

It not only exists, we use it all the time. NICE, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence exists to determine what drugs and medical equipment we can afford and often decides the cost is too high against the cost of patients dying, so the NHS don't get it and people die instead...

Fit bar ends either outboard or inboard as I recommended and illustrated and you could turn it over. That is simply not true, patching done properly will withstand any pressure. The problem is that so few cyclists, however experienced, have a clue how to use patches, something we were always...

Of course it's not over, but that's the point I'm making, all that cost AND 65,000 dead. Sweden managed the deaths without the costs and I'm betting they'll be overall better off in the end. There'll be no book fiddling, it's other people's money which will have to be paid back. We'll all...

After the press were critical about the lack of use, they did just this, shipping in a small number of recuperating patients from hospitals and inviting the press to watch it happen! Pathetic. .

They cost a small fortune and were virtually unused, so that is factually a waste. Worse still, we will have to spend a lot again to return their buildings to their correct original purpose. They were a panic measure in mid epidemic, started far too late to deliver their purpose, just like...

Not just MPs, the US numbering is virtually universally accepted now and I think it should be in our globalised internet linked world. Different languages make no sense in today's world. .

Exactly the same argument I've been making in defence of what London did. At the moment we have benefitted from taking the early big hit, so now is not the time to say we got it wrong. Only time will determine that and my opinion is that will show we got it right, albeit by accident rather...

Not just the tube being different. The densely packed living circumstance we have for many are very different from there. And Portsmouth didn't have Heathrow and London City airports pouring in thousands of people from corona hotspots. Nor a Eurostar terminal doing likewise. Nor 9000 buses...

It can't be ten thousand million pounds, that's 10 billion pounds. Have you been chatting with Diane Abbott? .

I've never had any success with it and hate the sticky mess it makes when it doesn't work, making patching impossible on the road. Many in here find the same, but many others find it always works. So it seems to be case of try it out to find which you are. I ended up several years ago with...
