    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the practical solution is a coalition of national leading parties: SNP + Labour. I can't see anyone would complain that they are under-represented.

    not accidentally but logically. I believe in political cycles. Starmer is the right choice for Labour.

    How to add a throttle to a Carrera Vengeance E Spec

    Have you tried with a smaller value for cadence_threshold? for example int cadence_threshold = 500; PS: I think you also need to add a 1kOhm load resistor between A2 and GND to stabilise the readout. The controller PAS pin usually has a load resistor on it.

    we have also benefited from the lockdown and recent spell of dry and warmer weather so the numbers moved quickly in the right direction. We'll see how the numbers move when the wind and rain return.

    post your current code, I'll modify it for you with the current setup (cadence_in on pin A2).

    Macron comes out with silly comments now and then but he's not the EU. Most of the EU deploys the AZ vaccine like we do here.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Firstly, they do not set the 12 week strategy in stone, they can reverse their advice if the numbers move the wrong way. they are helped by the lockdown and improving temperature at the moment. If you look at the rate of weekly reduction in cases, it's -28% while the rate of deaths is -34%...

    you are correct in principle but it seems to me that BJ sees that vaccine is an immense opportunity to win back some electors' approval, he's milking it as much as possible by spreading it more widely rather than concentrating it on the basis of health care need alone.

    can you find any quote where the EU rubbished the AZ vaccine? their dispute is about delays in delivery. They want more AZ, not less.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the EU did not rubbish the AZ vaccine. France and Germany were using the AZ vaccine on younger people, that's not the same as not using it. Now France has increased the age limit to 75. I expect Germany will follow. No big deal really.

    1. why do you think the report stops at week 6 (42 days)? 2. read also the first two columns, number of people and number of incidences: 7 for your selected group of 80+. This study is of 1,1millions Scots and the chosen conclusion is based on 7 people in hospitals. The size of the sample is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the Scottish study was about hospitalisations for which they have the complete records. I wish posters would read the data at the end of the document before conclusion: Table 2. COVID-19 hospitalisation and days post-vaccination for both BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1nCoV-19 and by vaccine type Table...

    .. and they add a qualifier to the headline: "after 3 or 4 weeks." People can interpret that as "anytime after 3 or 4 weeks", very different from the reality, "at week 3 or week 4" after the jab. How many do you reckon will look up the published papers and see for themselves that after the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the 94% is not typical and a bit misleading. The vaccine effect (VE) for both Pfizer and AZ increases in the first 3 weeks after the jab, peaks on week 4, then wanes from week 5. Quoting the peak VE invites people to believe that they are better protected than they really are. The study...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    when they said that, they gave lots of caveats to cover themselves. Just look at the daily figures - 20 millions vaccinated with one jab, practically all those at risk group, and yet, 1112 people hospitalised last Saturday, about same as 12 months ago. Don't you think that if the vaccine effect...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that may be true for one week, week 4 after the injection. Even then, the basis for that high estimate is so flimsy (based only just 2 incidences for the AZ). For the rest of the 12 weeks program, the vaccine effect is much lower, in the 60% from week 7 and fading until you get a booster. This...

    Scottish single jab study: Vaccine dose 1 (28-34 days) : The Pfizer's 85% score was based on 18 incidences. The AZ's 94% score was based on just 2 incidences.
