I wonder if the infected nurse in this example would come under the 80/20 rule? I am sure I have read somewhere that 20% of people infected with Covid are responsible (the super spreaders) for infecting around 80% of other people with the virus. This 80/20 rule seems to pop up in all kinds of...

Moderna were getting a lot of favorable reports about their Covid vaccine on Bloomberg and CNBC yesterday although problems with side effects did create some cause for concern. The NEJM have a long article (free) here on the phase 1 trial...

I agree with all this and it would be nice if the Government would just level with us, but why would they start being honest about something now when they never have in the past? The technical/security issue is a smoke screen, there maybe a theoretical threat possibility to having them in our...

It may be small numbers in some Hospital trusts skewing the figures or other reasons but the huge differences in death rates need further investigation. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/13/nhs-data-reveals-huge-variation-in-covid-19-death-rates-across-england

So much for frictionless trade. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jul/13/the-tories-latest-brexit-plans-expose-frictionless-trade-as-a-fiction

Sweden is mentioned fairly often on this forum, so I think the following post made by someone today on a financial forum I visit may be of interest. "The UK vs. Sweden argument frustrates me in that we still have this narrative that “Sweden didn’t do a lockdown and is doing just as well”...

I think your right. I visit a large super market twice a week and they are always cleaning the trolley handles, but I have never seen them cleaning the baskets. I always use a trolley.

This is not good news. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/12/immunity-to-covid-19-could-be-lost-in-months-uk-study-suggests

My guess would be companies such as Deloitte which are involved in the tracing system are absolutely coining it at the moment. I don't know if its possible to find out how much they are being paid for their work but I would not be surprised to learn that the details are kept quite for...

I wonder if the penny is finally starting to drop with some of the Brexitiers, the problems that many people have been pointing out with the entire project and they have been ignoring are maybe starting to finally get through to them.

Would this be the offspring of the infamous 'fat Brexit Dad' that Barry mentions now and again? :)

I can't think of anyone more deserving of catching the virus with the possible exception of the Donald.

I can't see anything coming of this can anyone else? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jul/05/met-police-urged-to-investigate-dominic-cummings-trip-during-covid-19-lockdown

Well look on the bright side at least their not French;)

Has anyone heard anything about CV19 on Oil and Gas rigs? I would have thought they might be places where an outbreak could run wild.

I wonder if we can do an exchange with the USA, in a similar fashion to a spy exchange. They could give us Anne Sacoolas and we could give them Prince Andrew;)

I would like to think both sides will sort a decent deal in the end but I really have my doubts. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jul/02/brexit-talks-break-up-early-over-serious-disagreements-michel-barnier

I had not realized until today that it is possible to do pool testing for Covid in order to save time and money. This seems like it could be something that schools, colleges, universities, work places etc. could use say on a weekly basis. If any virus shows up then further tests are required...

SW, do you know if you can take your entire bike to him and leave it with him to sort out a motor problem, and then pick it up from him when it's fixed. If my motor was to pack in, rather than faff around taking it out and sending it off and then putting the repaired motor back in. I would...

I too would like to know the answer to this question. The OP has only made one post on this forum but this was only a couple of days ago lets hope they come back and provide some more details. My CX motor is now out of warranty, I've done about 5000 miles and had no trouble with it, but I...
