Good article. Goes to show Cummings not the only one thinking about herd immunity. I dont get the idea of a weaker mutant evolving as it needs live carriers to spread. I mean I get the premise of greater reproductive potential, but past pandemics seem to have supported new harmful mutants esp Spanish Flu. The Chinese were recently in the news with their secret virus lab in Wuhan. Seems the scientists in US have been playing with fire too. If these experimental mutants ever do get out of the lab.... https://amp.theguardian.com/science/2014/jun/11/crazy-dangerous-creation-deadly-airborne-flu-virus

if a country existed that had banned tourism, emigration, immigration, business travel, they could still have freight deliveries and just leave it for 3 days to fester before onward haulage in case there is virus aboard. No £300 billion bailout package needed. Chinese tourists probably sneezing and coughing all over London back in January, February, March. Italy had the rag trade - where the rich Italians in Lombardy get the peasants out in China to make the cheap fashion items, so the Italians constantly flying to Wuhan overseeing the factories.

yes in the interest of public health pleasure/business travellers and economic migrants should all be persecuted equally. If no one leaves nor does the virus. Don't let the UK citizens abroad return either - gotta be some collateral damage if we are to stamp out Covid-19 completely

wow that is some degree to do - I thought I could manage it, but only got as far as a physics diploma with OU, it was more than I could grasp. Always wanted to know what is the fundamental physical difference between a positive and nagative charge - how does this cause the electrostatic interaction. Exactly why do unlike charges attract. I never had the focus to study enough to find out if there is an answer. Probably needs a mind like an industrial laser.

Labour would surely have spent us into an even worse state UK Covid-19 business bailouts have already cost more than £100bn Office for Budget Responsibility database will track cost of Rishi

Machine starting but attachments and shaft not turning. On reassembling clutch after torquing screws to 12nm the shoes dont seem to pry apart easily, but when screws undone a bit shoes can pr prized open. I have replaced washers on back between shoes and plate 4180 stihl powerhead

Way to go triple O. What about the thing with brains in a vat? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_in_a_vat

He wasn't asking for general career advice though. Maybe you have saved him from making a big mistake. Helped make him better off financially.

it was something very similar, I remember it clearly. The young guy was asking about becoming a climber and you jumped in with saying he should become an engineer, plumber etc, or he will always be poor, or words to that effect. Everyone should become a financial trader, or computer scientist. No point grafting for a regular wage

“I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen,” Mr Trump told a journalist who asked him to clarify, repeatedly saying he had been sarcastic. He was clever enough to parlay his family money into a much bigger fortune, however, he should have known sometimes people can't detect sarcasm.

two books would do to start - Tree Climbers Companion - Jeff Jepson Trees - their use management cultivation and biology - Bob Watson. Normally you could buy a basic climbing kit after reading the Jeff Jepson book, and or watching something like the entire Climbing Arborist video collection on Youtube, then go into some woods, preferably with a mate, and have a go at setting a line over a fork and hauling yourself up into a tree. However even practising low and slow could still cause an accident. Not a good time to be getting air lifted to A&E. This practising alone in the woods was great fun for me though, in fact I think tree climbing can be a great recreational persuit, as well as exciting work.

these look ok from 3 years ago, selling for about 500 used on ebay, maybe worth a punt from a seller with good feedback a new version is around 1500. Only suggested this model as it has a tablet style interface too. Or go back to basics and get a Rasberry Pi

I was being a grammar Nazi, being petty as papers is plural, I thought you should have used are https://www.grammarly.com/blog/is-vs-are/ Your point about confirmation bias is valid, there is probably a raft of research on how often researchers search for material to back up their own work, particularly if they are up for funding

re above comment - even people with 'some' experience can get the Darwin award, don't underestimate the dangers of conny bashing https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/tree-surgeons-haunting-text-message-11618912 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5124261/Father-two-tree-surgeon-36-fell-death.html

actually that may be wrong, sorry! It just didn' sound right -are enough papers, is enough papers

can confirm it's are for plural

an interesting thing nowadays is preprint servers -scientific research, not all of it, but certain areas, people are publishing stuff before it has been reviewed. The preprints are bound to contain many errors, but the scale of what is being done and instantly transmitted globally is amazing - the server below currently has over 2000 articles on Covid-19. So anyone working on something similar can take a trawl through the server and see what other people are coming up with. Many of the new developments in the news the journalists are looking through these servers for a scoop https://connect.medrxiv.org/relate/content/181?page=1

This is the spur, I'm going to buy the Schultz effect and look at SRT seriously while I have a bit more time. these guys climbing tutorials also worth checking fortunately they haven't yet started using saws

Clearly the government help is working for businesses with PAYE staff. It was in the news the other day gov had just 'employed' over a million people through the furlough scheme, so their employers didnt have to lay them off. However, crowdfunding does offer a chance of hitting the jackpot, I wish i could write a page so 50 million people give me a penny each. Tell them Im developing a cheap battery tool for car owners to change their own cam belts

Ah well we're getting into subjective judgements now. Each person can only give a penny to so many crowdfunders before they are queing at the food bank themselves.
