Nom de plume Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Southernman said: The Steam Packet had over 300 staff according to its 2018 accounts so we'd have to test them all to be sure of catching the positive one. What's interesting is how we will cope when the borders open. The under 50s will not have been vaccinated until late summer so the virus will continue to spread around that group in the UK and here. The hospital will have to accept the risk if we are to have visitors this year. Which is what we’re going to witness in the next few weeks as many parents in the 20 - 60 age groups are infected by their children. We’ll see how the unvaccinated adult population copes with the virus. Edited March 10, 2021 by Nom de plume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambon Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 1 minute ago, CowMan said: I agree if his health is that bad then he will “probably die” from just about anything from being hit by a bus to a bad dose of flu. One persons poor health is absolutely no reason for locking everyone else up. People who are vulnerable need to look after themselves and shield. This is true. However, everyone should be shielding themselves if they want a vaccination. If you have any respiratory illness or have tested positive for Covid 19 in the last 28 days, you cannot have your shot. (Apparently). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endless supply of pensioners and Mountain Roaders = Renewable Energy (subject to birth rate going back up.) No. Two reasons 1. Because it would need some electricity generation equipment. 2. In addition, a human body has a negative calorific value meaning more energy need to be put in than is resultant (because we are 80% water). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus any religious or cultural leanings that may deter them from being vaccinated as well. A charity-funded vaccination hub was covered in the article which is offering "no questions asked" jabs to illegal immigrants, it had had a take up of just 2000 since opening. Surely unvaccinated people are only a worry to themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest that <1.3M of them wandering around potentially perpetuating the spread in the UK will be a bigger worry to everybody (including PHE) until we can get the rest of the population vaccinated? And even after that it's likely to be an ongoing source of infection of a disease that we're trying to minimise at best. An unregistered cohort of potential vectors. Just what we need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To generate electricity from heat you need to heat water to create steam to drive a turbine. To do this you would have to burn even more gas or electricity as there is very little excess heat.
