Lost Generation

I was in a wood earlier today in the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire borders and it was full of these mushrooms but I am not sure exactly what they are. Some grow a bit larger than these, and there were lots of them, some in large fairy rings under the trees. Cheers.

Someone dropped by with this BSA break barrel .22 airgun which has a Tasco 3-9x 40 |Silver Antler scope. I am out of touch with airguns so can anyone identify the model and tell me what its worth in gwo? Cheers. N

Look up condensate trace heater on EBay etc, I fitted one myself after my boiler condensate pipe froze up last time it got really cold

Start at the bottom and work up

Here's some food for MaxSnowflake and the rest of the trolls: How Oxford scientists developed a Covid-19 vaccine in record time Experts involved in the inoculation race explain how the jab was developed 14 JAN 2021 Tonia Thomas, vaccine knowledge project manager at the University of Oxford and Rachel Colin-Jones, visiting academic at Oxford University’s Centre for Clinical Vaccinology and Tropical Medicine, on how the first vaccine developed in the UK was produced. The pandemic is only a year old, but we already have multiple vaccines available to fight Covid-19 – incl

There's a good recent study from UCL which estimates the case fatality rate for Covid-19 in developed countries at 1.15% which if the disease were left unchecked would amount to at least 690,000 deaths in a population of 60 million although with the UK's ageing population probably rather more than that, plus however many hundreds of thousands of people crippled with long-Covid. Is that what you want?

None of the vaccines are licenced for use in children yet and there are no plans to vaccinate kids. I know that vaccine companies are planning trials in children but as far as I am aware none are up and running yet and they will take quite a few months to complete & analyse. Some children have got very ill and died from Covid but the best reason for vaccinating children would be to help achieve herd immunity by eliminating a large pool of infection which can be transmitted to others who are potentially more vulnerable. We vaccinate children and adults against a lot of diseases for exact

If you want a review of the evidence around mask wearing see: https://youtu.be/IEvZhX3hQAw Masks worn correctly reduce the mask wearer's risk of infection by about 54% and also help to protect others if the mask wearer is infected. Critically, if you do still get infected despite wearing a mask, the mask should reduce the dose of the virus you get. There is a dose-response effect with the virus, the larger dose of virus you are exposed to, the more likley it is that you will become seriously ill, so wearing a mask could mean the difference between mild illness and severe illness.

1,325 new Covid deaths today. No-one is being forced into anything, no-one will be compelled to take the vaccine against their will. If you prefer to take the risk of a miserable death, slowly drowning in your own lung secretions or the risk of being left with wrecked lungs and brain rather than take a completely safe vaccination then that is up to you, although I do have some objections to the the impact your decision may have on NHS resources and the fact that you may spread the infection to others. Use the link to the calculator I have posted and work out your own risks. Most people

It looks from early evidence that the current vaccines protect against the South African variant. No-one is talking about compulsory vaccination and I can't that ever being acceptable in this country

Risk from Covid is individual, if you follow the link I gave earlier: https://www.qcovid.org/Home/AcademicLicence?licencedUrl=%2FPatientInformation%2FPatientInformation you will be able to calculate your own personal risk. I am setting out the science as I know it. Remember also that this is a new infection with unknown sequalae, I have fieinds with long Covid who are pretty much incapacitated by it and we have no idea whether they will recover or not. The reason for the mass vaccination programme is to protect those most at risk, and to sop teh NHS collapsing under the weight of sickness. Y
