It's not just that, it's the extremely high risk from aerosols that requires very specialised PPE that isn't widely available. The very few Urgent dental centres that were set up to deal with emergencies struggled. Why can a dentist open but a hairdresser can't? Now you have got me very worried. I ...

Someone posters seem to be in a right old melt down on here. Watch your blood pressure guys. Why should the guy resign? He is merely an advisor. He's not an MP, he's not a govt minister, he's not a science/medical advisor from whom the govt derive their guidance and develop the 5 point plan (~ unlik...

In the back of my mind I recall reading that you should make sure you do not have the ignition switched on when attaching a live charger. People stated that such an action caused havoc with the electronics of Toyota vehicles. Not sure how true this is though. I have always prefered to charge a car b...

Reading through many of the above posts I am wondering how many of the posters have managed to survive thus far in life. Seriously, many seemingly lack the common sense and competence to make decisions for themselves. May be it's because they were exposed to a spoon fed education system. They must g...

As Jel suggested above. You can get 160 mm pvc underground drainage pipe and slice it into rings of appropriate width. Bit yucky brown colour mind, but builders merchants should have the 160 mm size. If you don't want the 3 m length they have some short broken / cracked rejects that you could try.

Hi Hipper. Looks like you are not improvising but wanting to make something that looks both professional and functional. If it was me I would look at 3D priniting as this gives you much more control over dimensions and you can even print in the notch and hole feature. Use ABS or even PP as the plast...

Guessing here but seems like you are improvising and intend to make visors? Easiest way to form 160mm dia structure may be using 10 mm copper tube - bend over a 80mm rad former. If you need it to be a plastic then you may also consider something like a plastic curtain track and thermoforming ( use h...

Not a fan of these data curves since data can easily be manipulated to prove a point. As they say: Lies, damned lies, and statistics. I have seen several log graphs that seem to have arbitrary start points. For instance if take days since 100 mortalities then this can affect the upward trajectory. I...

With the rules in place should it really be able to get across to Burnley and Pendle and spread or will we be lucky and miss it?

One of the changes I’m praying for is less British goods being made in the far East purely on cost. It’s this that has spread this virus so rapidly.

Hi mdd2. Yes I should have used the correct scientific terminology: RNA, but I thought using this may be OTT on here.

So, according to the latest update by Hancoxk today the bottleneck in testing is the PHE. The PHE's response to fighting the virus has been wholly lacking. They do not seem to have tried to coordinate a national response to fight the virus. Instead, they seem to have kept efforts in-house and have b...

Thanks for the link Combatclaret. Some very interesting reading when you go through some of the references. https://meduza.io/en/feature/2020/03/21/the-ventilator-problem Just doing some simple sums.

Yes probably - especially as that peak is currently predicted to be on the 12th April. You can’t reverse 10 years of cutbacks in 2 or 3 weeks. Remember Germanys starting position was 30,000 ventilators before the crisis - ours was 6,000. Germany having 30,000 ventilators - do you have the source? F...

Signed up as a volunteer in my local village last week.

Agreed we don’t have enough police.
It will be hard to Police, from watching GMB, there is still lots of confusion as to a key worker.

Sports direct have ordered people to work, Ashley has declared them key workers.

The test for the virus is not 100% accurate as no test is.

That explains all the craters in the moon.

Interesting - why does the moon not rotate about its axis as it circles Earth.

Also the moon may be a thin disc and - may not have craters on the "dark" side because there is no light to see if they are any.
