I think the fragility of the Pfizer vaccine is down to the nature of nano-manufacturing. The liposome that enrobes the mRNA is mechanically produced, it can breakdown and release its load into the solution thus won't cross our cells membrane. The low temperature locks the nanoparticles in...

the problem with the Oxford vaccine is explained by the team themselves. I stress marked the reason for you. A guide to vaccinology: from basic principles to new developments | Nature Reviews Immunology QUOTE: Viral vectored vaccines are based on a recombinant virus (either replicating or...

the problem with this government is they do not have scientists inside the cabinet. Professor Brian Cox said something along the line: if a politician claims he is following the science, he does not understand the science. A circuit breaker lockdown based on 25% ICU bed occupation due to Covid...

lockdown as much as possible, not the opposite. go to work if your work environment is Covid secure, furlough all those who can't work. It would have been 30 times cheaper and far fewer casualties. The mistake is trying to delay the obvious. This government does that again and again while hoping...

I will put up our prices by about £15 on a bike in March to pay for the higher cost of sea containers. They have doubled in cost because China has to produce about 20% more to compensate for loss of production in Europe. A lot of containers are stuck in Felixstowe because of PPE.

Contagion is the key consideration. Assume that if you stay in a room with someone currently suffering Covid for 15 minutes or more, you catch it. Let's say each Covid death costs the nation on average £5 millions (=£400 billions/80,000 casualties), you can see eat out to help out at £10 a head...

better to wait for the dust to settle.

probably next Wednesday, 1,600 maybe.

and Ferrero rochers yum yum..

the jury is still out on this one. The Pfizer vaccine is made by enrobing the mRNA fragment inside a lipid shell. It's high tech and pure, ie it will be more or less 100% absorbed by our cells at the site of injection. Our Oxford vaccine takes the lower tech route, we use an adenovirus to...

if you import e-bikes from India, the duty rate for e-bikes is 6% on the goods + freight + insurance. There is no anti-dumping levy to worry about. Google HS code 8711601000 for more information. If you import the sub-assemblies (frames, motors, batteries etc), the duty rates varies but averages...

that's the wrong decision. The correct decision is to make sure that we have enough supplies. The government has always known months in advance what scheduled deliveries are like with the vaccines and it knows also that the UK will use these vaccines. If it has enough stock of vaccines, then it...

blaming BJ is right. He is a buffoon, Mr good news when the country faces an incredible crisis. He constantly delays the inevitable, pretending to follow the science while looking for some scientists to back him on his stupid attempts to prolong libertarian society in time of crisis: no airport...

your post did make me smile!

I would give this government the benefit of reasonable doubt. The deal is work in progress, maybe procedures will be streamlined in the future and double taxation avoided. Personally, I don't find the new procedures difficult to deal with. The main issue is the rule of origin for e-bikes and...

the FBI will probably interview him shortly. Schaffer did say later that wasn't Pelosi's computer on the picture. Maybe he has now realised what he's done. Pelosi's computer or not, he should have known better than bragging about it on twitter.

not necessary. For trade, customs union (like Turkey is inside EU customs union) is enough for goods to move cost effectively. Theresa May got that but her deal did not pass.

Have you watched the chaos Trump has created on Capitol Hill? Over the last 4 years, Trump has been totally one-sided. There ought to be an extra oath to the office of president of the USA to stop future presidents to behave this way. He's truly the worst US president ever and should be...

probably fake news... The PCs themselves will have screen-locked after a few minutes. I suppose all government PCs have bitlocker installed on their HDD.

a lot of assets can't be accurately valued until they are sold.
