"Theres more Megxit than Brexit in the news this weekend €“ which is surely rather a good sign. When the papers can get back to the vital business of royal spats, it means that Brexit and Covid news is starting to settle down. Heres hoping it wont be all that long until the people of the UK are free to visit the park with their friends for a good old gossip about whatever non-news Meghan and Harry decide to tell Oprah. Across the EU, by contrast, vaccinations continue at a snails pace. Frances Emmanuel Macron continues his Trumpian vendetta against the mounting scientific evidence that Britains decision to prioritise first doses was the right call, while Germany €“ once lauded for its swift and effective establishment of a track and trace system €“ has been struggling with a painfully inefficient roll-out. While European national governments are not covering themselves in glory, it is clear that many of the problems are rooted in the European Commissions insistence on centralised procurement, a fact which is all too obvious EU citizens. The German journalist Peter Tiedes recent article in The Times offers a particularly grim assessment of the EU catastrophe, which is well worth a read for any subscribers who missed it: €śVon der Leyen started a dispute with the vaccine supplier Astrazeneca, which was supposed to look daredevilish but was just dumb. She has disgraced Europe€¦ Worse still, [she] has either knowingly lied to 447 million Europeans or didnt know what she was talking about. Both are intolerable. The EUs contract with Astrazeneca reveals that the commission negotiated badly and did not secure any binding rights. It did not do what it is supposed to do: take care of our Europe. And our 27 governments either did not intervene or intervened too late.€ť Another article worth reading this week is Ambrose Evans-Pritchards, demolition of the myth that the British economy suffered a larger contraction than the Eurozone last year, published in The Telegraph this week. In fact, the UK outperformed the Eurozone in terms of nominal GDP. Furthermore, the UKs highly effective vaccination rollout means we are able to look forward to a sharp period of economic recovery in the near future. Full vaccination is a far more distant prospect in the EU." I think Boris may have noticed those two things, after all... -- €śSome people like to travel by train because it combines the slowness of a car with the cramped public exposure of €¨an airplane.€ť Dennis Miller |

I think if you are an "at risk" person you will know that barrier is very high On the basis of what I had read in the press, High BP, High BMI, stage 1 cancer, having chest infection, I considered myself to be high risk (category 6) but when I got the jab and read the list, I don't actually come close to meting the threshold on any of these things and I must have just got selected on the basis of age.

And any software that doesn't sanity check inputs like height in a medical setting should be returning for a full refund as not fit for purpose. I bet this is some Yank ****e that is hardcoded with imperial into the guts and some clunky "code whizz" layer to deal with the Metric bits. Like this? https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy...mi-calculator/ ================================================== ================ Your result suggests you are obese BMI 28095.7 Healthy weight range for your height: 0st 0lb - 0st 0lb Aim to lose 12lbs Recommended daily calorie intake: 1176 - 1512 kcal To lose 1-2lbs a week stick to the lower end of the range. ================================================== ================ That sounds doable. -- Max Demian |

Any why would you use cm rather than metres as the entry? Because you are a Yank app whizz kid who think they understand metric ? I've never understood why so many use cm. Metres and mm do well enough here, without complicating matters. One reason may be that centimetres are the standard for clothing across Europe. Another reason might be that the NHS uses meters and centimetres for height. A third may be that most people don't GAF about the practice in some communities of deprecating prefixes for powers of 10 not divisible by 3 - most people whom IME /don't/ deprecate their use outside of their professional settings. And patently the EU institutions don't GAF as EU directives and regulations use centimetres, centilitres, decimetres etc -- Robin reply-to address is (intended to be) valid |
