Not the sort of dismissal you want after a poor start. 4 down now, SA falling apart.

Yet your BMI puts you well into the obese range. If you were to die from covid you'd be written off as one of the expendable who had underlying conditions. A perfect example of why just accepting covid deaths as 'they're all sick or old' is wrong.

How tall are you? If you're 18 stone you'd have to be over 7'4" not to be at increased risk.

There was a documentary on TV years ago where they wired people up so they could monitor people in various situations to see the impact of the stress on the body. The readings they got off a chap at the football were by far the worst.

I asked this before but you must have missed it. Is there a point at which you would consider deaths to be too high? If you take our current death rate if that doesn't drop we're looking at covid being up there with heart disease as the nations biggest killer annually. Of course you have to...

If only someone had told us at the start you can only catch covid off strangers, would have made things a lot easier.

Great news from the first randomised study of booster jabs. 10K people in the study, half had the booster, half had a placebo. Among those that got the booster the rate of symptomatic infection dropped to from 2.2% to 0.1%. Edit: changed the link to a non-paywalled version of the Times article...

Is that the one opposite West Orchards? Always seems an odd location to me but I guess with the amount of student accommodation in town these days there's more than enough trade.

Something is better than nothing. Ideally you'd want a higher standard of masks but given how much difficulty people seem to have with very basic public health information you've got to be careful with how you put things across.

Think there was a post earlier this week with another countries data on that was split out into vaccinated and unvaccinated. Understand we might not have that information for the daily figures but a weekly update along the lines of what percentage of hospitalisations and deaths are unvaccinated...

I would laugh at them calling it Unboxed but it will probably turn out they've paid one of their mates millions to come up with that.

Like it, nice 2-tone version of the late 70s, early 80s kit.

Given currently events, both stock shortages and the climate issue, how is scaling back on our own self sufficiency and importing from the other side of the world a good idea?

Shall we have a sweepstake on when we get the 'nobody could have seen this coming' press conference?
