Nothing to worry about. "At no stage did he show any symptoms". Clearly that is a form of immunity, he had the infection with no ill effects. That's no different from any of us, we all carry huge quantities of potentially harmful bacteria, viruses etc throughout our lives, knowing that some...

Your first sentence is not true. A very high proportion of our pedelecs, imported as legal with CE markings and settings compliant with the law, have alterable LCD settings and can be made non compliant with the law. That does not make them illegal. Indeed, some have been approved in the...

Understood, but I tend to keep The Express and The Mail off my radar, I don't think they represent the majority of us and certainly not the best of us. .

No. Though Ireland still has something of an obsession with the UK, entirely understandably, the UK getting any pleasure from Irish misfortune is something from long ago in the past. The nearest to that more recently was during the N.I. troubles and only concerned N.I., but even that is...

The pollution and noise argument is ultimately a self defeating one though with our e-car future, silent with no exhaust fumes like my one. One London Council already has a e-area of residential streets where only electrical vehicles are allowed during the day, probably helping the sudden...

The link to that website works perfectly for me. Try copying the link and pasting it into a browser. .

We did similar in London decades ago. Wanting the capable Ken Livingstone as GLC leader but knowing our right wing Labour fringe wouldn't vote for him out of bigotry, Labour stood a moderate stooge, Andrew McIntosh for the post and he was selected and in 1981 elected. Livingstone with a lot...

That was certainly true for London. The 17% quoted in this post with antibodies from infection were way above the otherwise observable Covid-19 symptoms without antibody testing. .

I think all the evidence is relevant, for example, the New York Mayors statement. Remember this from way back in May three months ago which supports what he says: 21 May 2020 Almost one in five people in London - 17 per cent - have already had the coronavirus, according to surveillance...

Not it's not irrelevant when it's the precursor to a very much lower following rate of infection and deaths than so many other areas that didn't have early big hits. As you say, lessons can be learned from that, such as the timing and placement of lockdowns to minimise the economic ill...

Try reading, I said HAD. That meant after the peak here as I posted, complete with the date of 15th May. THAT'S OVER THREE MONTHS AGO! It doesn't any longer but it's still remarkably good in the circumstances and far better than all the hotspots in much smaller urban centres such as the...

Just to clarify on the legal issues raised, the makers claim you bike assists to 25 kph, but you say it's only 22 kph in fact. Legally one can ride an e-bike at 27 kph with no fear of prosecution since there's 10% tolerance, confirmed by the DfT. Ergo, if you could increase that bikes speed...

Anything to avoid the facts eh? As you admit London took a very early major hit, rapidly taking us to over double the infection rate of the rest of the country. In consequence 82% of all the Covid-19 deaths to date in London occurred before 8th May. By the 15th May London had the lowest...

Which supports the line I've been taking, that exposure isn't necessarily a bad thing over time, reducing the later effect. I'm sure London has benefitted in the end from the early very big hit it took. .

I don't know why you think you are telling me that, I told all of you the same at the outset months ago, but obviously your memory is failing you. Anyway, little that many Londoners could do in their living and working circumstances could have made much difference, huge overcrowded cities...

I've been watching the Crime and Punishment series based around your Southampton Central Police Station and it doen't look so marvellous. You may have social distancing but you sure aren't doing so well on crime. I'll stay in my manor with low infection rate and low crime. .

But not in London, we stil lhave our bonus from the early big hit we suffered. The only place we've had a rise is Hillingdon borough, hardly surprising since that's where Heathrow's staff come from and they've continued to fly in people from all over. .

I think it could be a big mistake. These people are fanatics and the success of what they do is as much in the punishment they receive, including death. With this sentence the judge has just told Hashem Abedi that he and his brother did a brilliant terrorism job, very seriously hurting...

Don't worry, just look at the mismatch of your two paragraphs above: Florida and its sunshine, meat plants without sunlight and at 4 to 6 degreees, but both with outbreaks. There really isn't any connection. I'm content to just wait and see, surprises arise in two directions, and the schools...

Over 80% of Londoners do not use the Tube each day. Over 70% of Londoners do not use any public transport each day, so their relevance to this subject is very limited. And the infection pattern bears no relationship either. In the earlier stages of the Pandemic my own borough of Croydon...
