The credulous fool on this web site is not me Meanwhile, the death by all causes rate for Africa this year as compared to any other year is? I am almost certain that data is simply not available. Africa is many different countries, many if not most of which have massively underfunded health service...

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.22.20248327v1.full-text Report from 700 post mortem Covid tests show that (at least in one hospital in one African country) Covid is being vastly under reported, with 20% of deceased being PCR covid positive. The age profile is much younger than in the...

Report in the Guardian today that wood and coal burning stoves and open fires account for 40% of PM2.5 air pollution in the UK, from the 8% of homes that use them. Although my stove is a high efficiency one with an airflow that preheats the incoming air, and I use seasoned wood, and we are in a rura...

My wife will be getting it next week. She is immunocompromised

Trump acquitted 57 to 43. Another 10 Republican votes would have convicted him of sedition. In this case the jury were both victims and collaborators in the crime, and the courtroom was the crime scene. Some of the jury actively negotiated with the defence lawyers.

Watched the first 3 episodes. All good stuff linking just about everything that happens in the world to how the human mind works and how the unscrupulous (which is just about everybody) use that knowledge to bamboozle people, get them following cults and conspiracy theories, and always for their own...

I owned my 2015 leaf for over 4 years and did about 25000 miles in that time. The key to maintaining long battery life is not to charge it to 100% (or leave it below 20%) for any length of time. I usually charged it to 80% (which its a setting on the car interface). Plan ahead if think you will need...

There is so much that that bbc post did not talk about. The occupants of care homes are the oldest and frailest demographic. They may not develop as as strong an immune response even after being vaccinated. Having been kept under lockdown most tightly , they may now be belatedly coming into contact ...

How many people died of covid in the same hospital on the day he died?

Best case is that the current vaccines will give enough protection to reduce deaths by 99%, and annual booster vaccines will be needed for the old and vulnerable, just like influenza. Worst case we are nearly back at square one, with another surge as we come out of lockdown, and another 100,000 dead...

Phase 2 test of AstraZenica vaccine shows it to be much less effective against the South African variant in preventing mild disease in healthy younger test subjects. The trial was not designed to test the efficacy of the virus in preventing serious disease in older people. This means, if we rely on ...

Actually they have delivered 21 (or 41, the article is ambiguous) buses with 150 by years end planned https://www.electrive.com/2021/02/02/daimler-delivers-solid-state-battery-buses/ I knew I should have included this link.
