Why the surprise, perhaps you didn't read my post through? As I said, there was no illness, so no crash testing. Link to read again .

This story was dead long ago. They visited the grandparents at the time of his wife's birthday, that's all. Then visited Barnard Castle on his wife's birthday. Just a son, husband and father caring about his family before other considerations, hoping it was ok. No-one had any infection...

???? I'm not recommending you carry the hammer with you! :D .

It sounds cruel, but I would carefully dent the chainstay slightly with the ball end of a ballpene hammer to suit. Put thick tape over the paint to try to preserve it. Many manufactured bicycles have chainstay denting/grooves in manufacture as standard. A tube with other than circular profile...

I'm moving in London inner and outer, adjacent Surrey and Kent, friends in all of them and activities in two. And as I've already posted previously, those empty Central London places the media like to show are totally irrelevant. That's where visitors and tourists go, Londoners don't. I...

I'm not, I fully agree there is no justice in any of this. I'm just being realistic. .

That's what we've been doing in London, having ineffective or zero lockdown, fact as I've illustrated, yet you say it's made no difference, our "r" is the same!!!! ,

As I've added to my reply to Woosh, if taking a big, almost double size hit in the first instance (as London definitely did) makes no difference, why bother with lockdown at all? The rest of the country might just as well not have bothered and also taken the double size hit initially for an...

The 0.6 isn't from the Cambridge model of 0.4 which was clearly an exaggeration. London will not be similar, it is perverse to insist that taking a near double size hit makes no difference. It does, it drastically reduces the readily available most vulnerable for infection and death short...

I agree with you on the point 9 nationally but I believe it's about 0.6 in London due to the early large hit we took, recently reducing those available to be readily infected. That's how all our extra deaths count, leaving us below the rest of the country in Re terms, only for the time being of...

No, I've a lifelong record of voting right and left according to need and circumstances. Generally though: Labour for London mayor. Changeable for GLC. Tory for borough council. Changeable for parliament though Labour for a few years now. .

Because your whole approach was, and still is dismissive of everything I've been saying about the fact of London's lower "r". All the evidence is that it's lower than the rest of the country now for easily understandable reasons, but you seem to stoop to anything to try to say it isn't...

I don't doubt it for cities, but I don't live all over the UK so I only post what I know to be factually true for my city and immediate surroundings. If others posting are to be believed, people certainly don't behave like Londoners in smaller size locations where they appear to be paragons of...

Distortion again by shooting the messenger. I don't need to re-read it, that was a quote from an article that I reported with a link supplied, not my statement or support. I've never supported it, I have supported that our "r" is recently lower since that is widely supported. .

Again irrelevant national figures in a London discussion! You just don't learn. "Probably"! Yet again an assumption, you just don't learn. You see nothing of the sort, my argument showing my belief in formulae. My argument is precisely that the current Re is proportional to the susceptible...

NO, NO, NO. I will never let you get away with your repeated translations of national rates into London's. The 2000 is a national figure which does not necessarily reflect the London daily infection number. There are too many differences between London and the rest of the country to...

I was listening to the measures with amusement, since it's what we've being doing all the time in London. Meeting in gardens in pairs! Given all the flats with communal gardens in London we neighbours unavoidably meet in numbers! The same goes for all those whose garden is the park across the...

I don't know why you keep bringing this up, I've made no claim for herd immunity and I've posted that I don't think it a realistic strategy. But with each increase in the number infected and dying, the infection and death number rates reduce since opportunities reduce. You've even accepted...

It was a legal issue, made a solely political matter from the outset, simply a handy opportunity to try to get rid of a hated political figure. The almost entirely mythical health issues were simply the icing on the attackers cake, to much later reinforce their arguments. They've lost...
