There are just too many coincidences making CV such a clever virus. It is without doubt 'optimised' for high R0. WHO gave it (basic reproductive number) 2.0-2.5, SARS 1.7-1.9 and MERS <1. if you google 'polybasic cleavage sites', there are a lot of studies showing that they boost the virulence...

why do I believe CV is man made? SARS-COV-2 has 3 remarkable features: - 96% of the genome of SARS-COV-2 is identical to bat's RaTG13 - RBD of SARS-COV-2 is identical to pangolin SARS-COV-1's RBD - SARS-COV-2 has a polybasic cleavage site. It's a small block of 12 nucleotides that is located...

how much do they charge for the kit?

if you can remove the bottom bracket then you can fit the kit. That's the most difficult step. The rest is straightforward.

how about converting your Brompton to electric?

perhaps they did not expect subsequent mutations when CV hit humans.

in that paper dated since 2018, they have already developed antibody test for SARS-Cov. How would you market your antibody tests?

you can simply inject bats' serum into civets, wait for some civets to get ill, then inject the civet's serum into pangolins, wait for some pangolins to get ill then purify the pangolin's serum with e-coli - hey presto, you can now test in vitro if the purified virus reproduces in human cells...

it does not have to be made in a test tube. We know that CV is closely related to CV in Yunnan bats and they don't infect humans. We also know that to make the virus cross the species into humans, the virus has to go through intermediates, usually small mammals like rodents or pangolins. The...

I just don't believe our government estimate of 0.7 for R0. The BBC is spreading government propaganda of R0 all day on BBC News24. If that were true, the number of new confirmed cases would drop 30% for each cycle. We've been having 4.5k - 6k new confirmed cases every day for 3 weeks now...

for your weight, the woosh Santana3 is suitable and has quick release front wheel but it's sold out a few days ago. The next arrival of Santana3 is end of July. https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?santana3

Hi Dee, I usually recommend the Woosh Rambletta for motorhomes but you don't want a small wheeled bike so how about the Woosh Faro? 16kgs, quick release front wheel. Hydraulic brakes. 8-speed. 700 x 28 tyres. I ride one myself for over a year now, often without power...

the brake rotor needs to be bigger than the motor casing to give some space to the caliper. If your motor casing has 120mm in diameter, your 160mm rotor is OK. If your motor casing has 140mm in diameter, your 160mm rotor may be too small for some, OK for most. If your motor casing has 160mm in...

Trump needs some good news for his daily press call, Fauci gave it to him with the usual caveat. The problem is when a drug is 'repurposed' - it's just to see if it's worth investigating further and further means years. I always mistrust anything that has the word 'nucleoside' or 'nucleotide' in...

The supplied tyres are Maxxis Detonator 700 x 28C. They are good tyres. You can always find better such as Schwalbe Marathon Plus The fork and frame can take slightly larger 32C tyres. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/maxxis-detonator-folding-road-tyre/rp-prod175014...

it's difficult to ask those scientists advising the government not to do their employer's bidding. They are political appointments. They have been told to restrict their views to those compatible with the available supplies. Basically, if you don't have anything positive to say, shut your mouth.

for your weight, the Big Bear Plus. All bikes with torque sensor demand much bigger user input when climbing a hill. You need two things to climb a hill with a torque sensor: increase your cadence and increase your pedal pressure. For some people, it's too much, especially on a long hill. Bikes...

the real criminal is lazy Boris. He is too lazy to think for the country and rely on another guy just as useless as the rest of his cabinet. when the going gets tough, Boris looks for a place to hide. He shouldn't put himself forward for the top job in the first place.

the real issue for science is do we develop immunity against CV? if we do, how long for? but if we don't? what then?
