    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There's quite a few people turning up with a double dose of covid now thus ruling out immunity, you either have it or you don't in each case it doesn't make you immune as such. That said flecc is right we're all carrying something that might effect someone else but not us.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It was always said that when America sneezes we all catch a cold, well it seems now when somebody coughs we could all catch something nasty. What happens in one country can effect the whole world because of the way people migrate and move around, covid has highlighted this perfectly.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's certainly a luxury living right on the coast, I'm always reminding myself of that. The only trouble is house prices, we have penthouse apartments in the area costing 4 million a pop !

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    What we do now know for sure is that covid arrived on UK soil around mid Dec 2019 brought in by returning British nationals, almost certainly not Chinese. It reached a peak in four months and has taken around the same amount of time to reach it's lowest level, what can be made of that I don't...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well yes, I can in fact read several languages flecc but thanks for the offer of help. What happened three month's ago is totally irrelevant to what goes on now and if I may say so a unnecessary added diversion. But back on topic .. What really interests me greatly is why the infection rate...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Mmmm .. Not sure where you are getting your statistical information from flecc but it isn't the ONS that's for sure. Their statistics show London most definitely does not have the lowest infection rate in the UK even taking into consideration it's population density, airport etc. Fact avoidance...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Infection figures for London 05 August 2020 - 11 August 2020 = 152, that's hardly anything to shout about is it now ? London didn't benefit in the slightest from being hit hard from the get-go, no one in their right mind would have wanted that to happen but as you rightly say given the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Luckily I don't live anywhere near Southampton flecc so I wouldn't have any idea what goes on there, I use fake ip address & Geo-Location information because where I am is my own business and not for others to know. That does cause me problems admittedly as does having two home addresses but...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Have to say I'm more than happy to be living right where I am on the Hampshire coast. Everyone practices social distancing because you are expected to, almost everyone wears masks in stores including children amazingly and it all works really well. Best of all infection rate .2 % one of the...

    I've got one of those mini phones, their ring is so loud it's deafening ! Very neat devices but beware they seem to discharge very quickly though.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The reality is no one knows for sure how this virus behaves long term and maybe never will. I was in Portsmouth yesterday doing some shopping, it's remarkable how people are behaving many weeks on from all the measures that are/were imposed. Walk down an isle in a Supermarket and someone coming...

    Britain's First 'Dutch-Style' Roundabout Closed 10 Days After Opening When Car Ploughed Into Beacon

    All this is old hat. Fifty odd years ago when I lived in the City of Portsmouth at my parents place the local Council decided to turn a number of roads in the centre of town into Cyclist priority routes. This involved marking a strip of the roadway straight through the middle where cyclists...
