    Covid-19

    A call to honesty in pandemic modeling - Wesley Pegden - Medium MEDIUM.COM Maria Chikina and Wesley Pegden Some more data modelling stuff... About second wave a possibilities when lockdowns are lifted. But surely imo a second wave may be preventable if it can be made locally extinct, which is is now being reported as the case in China. They are saying its only imported cases atm in China that can be controlled by contact tracing/testing etc so they may not require a continued internal lockdown for much longer. (And it was only a % of China that was in full lockdown not the whole country like the UK) That being the case can see global travel being restricted for at least a year as countries won't want to re -introduce it, from parts of the world were they still have outbreaks. Still early to say how well it will be dealt with in 3rd world places etc...

  3. Stiga having 3 batteries systems all at the same time seems abit confusing. 24v homeowner 48v mid ranage then 80v pro Is a 4ah 48v same as say a 8ah 24v? 4 x 48 = 198 8 x 24 = 198 11x18 = 198 Having theorectically the same capacity say as a 11ah 18v battery makes it sound alot less expensive?

  5. Looks like hornbeam Hornbeam actually pretty fast growing the ones iv'e planted grow a few ft a yr anyway. Looks like newly planted trees and a new build house which sometimes have poor amount of topsoil which trees don't like. Will benefit from watering in summer if it is a dry one especially, for few yrs until there roots established and maybe extra mulch...

    Lock Down?

    Yeah noticed the exact same thing when I went out for a cycle ride, more joggers a walkers cyclists than iv'e ever seen around before out and about, this virus must of made everyone exercise fanatics over night. Also less cars was nice. Reckon alot of them are the second homers as the locals aren't generally into exercise apart from a rare few regular ones I see around.
