And they've admitted it. The handles on doors and supermarket trolleys don't cough or sneeze, nor do our hands. .

They won't. They'll once again fall for the "Churchilian" pompous, halting speech that he's just made, just as so many did with the silly ass Churchill himself. Think of a number, then double or treble it! :D .

As I've said a couple of times, vulnerability. Overall London's environment is very unfavourable for optimum health, and there's our very large BAME community. Only just over 40% of Londoners are white British born. Both factors mean a higher death rate from cases. .

Actually England's is heavily weighted down by the high rate in London with it's huge , high density population and very high BAME population which is especially vulnerable. I think England without London would be shown to perform well in comparison, since London's latest death total on the...

We'll know when the final results come in. Until then all our guesses are as good as each others. .

Very selective with just three examples, two of them very low populations. Sweden had done much better than many other EU countries, including us as you've shown. As others have said, it's a choice between death rates and economic death, while bearing in mind that the death rate is chiefly of...

There's talk of halving each class to give social distancing (!), as if that will be possible with kids. Basically every other day at school. It will have to be by 1st June to give a few weeks learning before the Summer holidays in late July. .

Well it makes a change from doing it with booze, fags and car crashes. .

Don't worry, we'll never do things as rationally as South Korea or Taiwan. We'll cock it up somehow, we always do. It's our special skill. .

I think this is a big exaggeration. The great majority of all manufactured pedelcs are legal as supplied. The LCD speed alterations have to be discovered and then applied by the customer, a different matter. With just over seventy cycling years and at one time being in the trade, I can...

Spitting into the wind, as I so regularly post in here, it is never ever going to happen for a myriad of reasons. Chief among those are the following: The present law is nearly a world standard outside of the USA and to a limited degree Canada where they are federated countries with State...

No, it's still only a Queen's speech announcment for this term. It needs an act of parliament for the change. But Covid has messed up Boris Johnsons's plans. He clearly envisaged a giveaway for popularity and had started that, meaning to then run to the country at three years to win the...

We really shouldn't panic about the 20,000 deaths, which is 10,000 per month. Look on the bright side, even if that stayed fixed, it would take 550 years before we ran out of people. :) .

In this case I didn't agree there was. The Downing Street office is no place for recovery, and there was no question that Johnson had been genuinely ill. His changed appearance showed that only too clearly. I've been the first to harshly criticise him in here and will no doubt be in future...

It's just been revealed on the news that although we were told Boris Johnson was still recuperating at Chequers, he was in fact working in preparation for his return to Downing Street on Monday. That included a three hour cabinet meeting with the leading ministers. So far from being resting and...

It's already accepted that if multi rotor drones are to routinely carry a person, they will have to have eight rotors. Only that will allow one, or if spaced, two rotor redundancy. .

But there's so much bed and staff capacity in the ordinary hospitals that they are now appealing for more patients! It's currently being shown that tens of thousands more will die of other things like cancer and heart disease due to the panic created over Covid 19, simply because they've...

I've disagreed since we haven't used anything like our resources, The London Nightingale has had tens coming into its 4000 capacity, the Birmingham one hasn't ever bothered to open and it's looking like we won't need the 7 planned ones. Information link .

Rubbish, a deliberately set catch question. An exam invigilator once told me there's no such thing as a catch question. My answer was that it was any question I didn't have an answer to, since if it caught me out, ergo, it was by definition a catch question. He agreed. .

Lockdown has been a complete waste of time, it's just to demonstrate the politicians are taking some action. It's supposely to ensure social isolation, but there is no such thing, it's just a handy theory. We are several thousands of miles from China, as much separation as is possible on this...
