    You would hope so. I think it came down to the only way to test it in the community is for the virus to be prevalent enough in a community to make results stand up and I think SARS had all but disappeared before there was chance to do that. Although there seems to be enough governments fucking...

    I was reading about the “common cold”. The symptoms we describe as the common cold could actually mean you have one of dozens of viruses because they all have similar symptoms. Many of these viruses under the common cold tag are Coronavirus all be it mild versions of it. We’ve never discovered a...

    As always Don is getting excited. The limited (ie not mass production Dom seems to think it is) production I think I recall correctly is for further testing in the community rather than a roll out of mass vaccination. Even then the numbers of vaccines required worldwide is staggering and...

    They might get binned and not used at all if they’re found to be useless. Should know later this month all being well apparently. This is from the researchers not the government so there’s a good chance it might happen.

    Not sure of the costs to date although the government has pumped tens of millions in. The U.K. is part of a wider WHO consortium so the U.K. will only get a percentage of whatever is produced.

    They’re producing a million vaccines IIRC in September in case it does work. It’s called at risk production or something like that.

    Will do HH. Slightly disappointing news today that it’s all been delayed. He’s been rescued from a dog sanctuary in Spain and seems there was a delay in moving him to the U.K. so there isn’t time to get all his checks done for the weekend so it looks like we’re waiting another week. He’s in the...

    The irony being Greece can’t afford to not pick and choose seeing how they’ve got on top of it. Not bad for the “poor man” of Europe. Just another measure of how incompetent our government is.

    I’d also try to buy this car built by Steve Darnell from the TV series Welderup. Love a Rat Rod and this is my favourite one ever.

    WL’s are much similar. Built originally for the war effort so they’re like a more compact lightweight version of a knucklehead to make them more transportable and easier to ride on rough terrain. It’s also the bike that started the Hells Angles movement, veterans took their bikes as part of...

    Something British. Maybe a Mk10 jag, no actually a Rover P5B coupe, no wait a Wolesley 6/110, nope a Mk1 Triumph 2000, actually a XJ6 series 2 coupe.
