  • Commented on Covid on Mars
    I was replying to your assumption that anything would need to be done in the first place, although air filtration plus UV would be a given. I do not believe novel pathogens could go undetected for more than a few...
  • Commented on Covid on Mars
    So in the next 50 years nobody, not even the military, will have regular air sniffers looking for novel pathogens in real time? That DNA sequencing cannot be done in seconds?...
  • Commented on So you say you want a revolution
    Well, Boris has come up smelling of roses. Goes a long way to taking the pressure off him with the covid fiasco. Anyway, you can all return to your arguments over "What is a real woman" and other such crap,...
  • Commented on So you say you want a revolution
    Given that Sterling trading at 1.55 to the $ didn't hurt the City, and that all major players have offices in all major cities, I don't think you need shed any tears for the casino...
  • Commented on So you say you want a revolution
    How a blog post can date rapidly. We now have that "impossible" Brexit deal with the EU where their "red lines" got erased by the needs of the German car industry. So no significant change, and no mass Brexit starvation...
  • Commented on Cough Cough
    Here's another estimate of infection lethality - 0.37% if you don't want to trust the CDC https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-team-covid-infection-fatality.html ""For the first time, our data enables us to estimate how many people have been infected after the superspreading event. Approximately 15 percent...

    The CDC estimates the lethality of Covid-19 at 0.26% https://www.technocracy.news/cdc-confirms-extremely-low-covid-19-death-rate Starvation warning https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-52373888...

    And on a related theme, a petition to allow in people from HK https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300091...
  • Commented on Cough Cough
    Given that the UN estimates lockdown will cause 1.6 billion people to lose their livelihoods, and 250 million face starvation there are going to be a lot of angry people about, and a lot of governments looking to distract their...
  • Commented on Cough Cough
    Bottom line: Boris and Cummings are going nowehere for at least 4.5 years. We will "crash out" of the EU and nobody will notice given the economic damage the lockdown has caused, and all the magic money conjured out of...
  • Commented on Update to Public Appearances in a time of pandemic
    In other words, my lifestyle has not changed a bit except I don't spend 2 hours a day on the tube. Still got to get that life though......
  • Commented on Update to Public Appearances in a time of pandemic
    I am currently enjoying the sight of panicking sheep welcoming the Stasi into their lives to protect them from people sunbathing in their own gardens, or buying "non essential items" while at the supermarket. The fuckwits do not seem to...
  • Commented on Update to Public Appearances in a time of pandemic
    "As of 19 March 2020, COVID-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious diseases (HCID) in the UK." https://www.gov.uk/guidance/high-consequence-infectious-diseases-hcid...
  • Commented on COVID-19
    Funded survival places? What for? This is trivial. I just hope I don't get the flu while I'm on holiday. That would really be a PITA....
  • Commented on COVID-19
    Since Italy ranks as No.4 nation in terms of life expectancy the system appears to be working....
  • Commented on COVID-19
    Maybe even good enough for Mr Satoshi, when s/he/it decides to cash in and go Big....
  • Commented on COVID-19
    Just imagine what you would need. A distributed database with lots of redundancy, spread across hundreds (or thousands) of isolated computers. Which is accessible from any Net connection for client convenience. Maybe with regular backups to a super-hardened server buried...
  • Commented on COVID-19
    Elon Musk: Offworld banking. After all, its just encrypted numbers...
  • Commented on COVID-19
    You email the evidence to thousands of people. MPs, members of the Senate and HoR, journalists, newspapers, 4chan, RT, China Daily etc Time it to drop in the space of a few minutes after you enter the embassy of a...
  • Commented on COVID-19
    Enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqM6fT33B2I I'm off now, unless something exciting happens. Having a real job is a PITA...
  • Commented on COVID-19
    None of it was as easy, useful or convenient as modafinil and the racetam family. Have not worked up the courage to try Dihexa yet. Meanwhile, I intend to try some senolytics....
  • Commented on COVID-19
    Vitamin D deficiency is associated with just about every nasty chronic disease/syndome you can name. Causation or correlation? Doesn't matter. I take 5000 units a day in olive oil gelcaps. One thing I noticed years ago is that it eliminated...
  • Commented on COVID-19
    "(Can you say Crony Capitalism Boys 'n Girls?) " Has to go some way to beat our HS2 railsystem, coming in at around $130billion for 300 miles of track. That's more than the cost of the average house in the...
  • Commented on COVID-19
    I don't usually follow up on such conspiracy nuttery - there is far more interesting conspiracy stuff out there. But actually having such FEMA camps would make sense to house people during natural disasters or act as isolation hospitals for...
  • Commented on COVID-19
    BTW, in the USA what happened to all those "FEMA Concentration Camps" the wingnuts were going on about a while back? Did they exist? Are they going to be useful? Will the wingnuts express gratitude?...
  • Commented on COVID-19
    Are you referring to the Jesus Army? Bit sad about them folding, but for a commune/cult they had a good run (50 years). Still, hardly unexpected if you specialize in giving sanctuary to the mentally ill and generally fucked up....
  • Commented on COVID-19
    What lies? I suggest you provide some proof or retract....
  • Commented on COVID-19
    "I see, Dirk is a suburban asshole who doen't understand cities," Well, let's see... After graduation I spent 13 years living in London, and for the past 13 years I have spend nearly all my time except weekends living in...
  • Commented on COVID-19
    "I.e. let people die to protect GDP." There is a very strong argument for that, especially if you are one of those people who believes "austerity" has caused a lot of deaths. Also, getting it over quickly rather than dragging...
  • Commented on COVID-19
    I periodically turn up to see whether the terminal pessimism has dissipated. Everything from Charles 2016 prediction of Brexit dead bodies in the street (don't you just hate being virally right for the wrong reason?) to the ever popular "we...
