The covid vaccine and microchip fears
^^^ whenever you give anyone any power, they will always - always - abuse it.
Whenever there's more tech, there's always be the possibility that those in authority will abuse it.

The covid vaccine and microchip fears
by BourneIdentity inwhy is there a group so fearful of being tracked?
if you carry around a cell phone, your every movement is being tracked, even if you disable it.
court proceedings have shown google and apple can hand all the data over of all your movement.

We in the UK are dealing with COVID all wrong
by LoveUniHateExams inyeah, so boris johnson has plunged the whole of the uk back into a second lockdown.
kids are still going to school (thank goodness!
) but this second lockdown is ruining the economy and killing small businesses.. the first lockdown was forgivable because, at the time, nobody knew what we were dealing with.. but now, we know more and more about covid-19.. it is lethal to elderly people (the average age of deaths with covid in the uk is 82 years - the average age of deaths without covid in the uk is 81 years).. it is also lethal to obese people and people with diabetes.. i'd imagine hiv+ people are another vulnerable group.. but to everyone else, catching covid is fairly similar to catching the flu.

Schools being open makes no sense - WTF?!
Schools must be open. Education is very, very important. This should really go without saying.
Kids may not exhibit symptoms and they may still spread the virus, but then it should be up to the vulnerable groups to protect themselves.
Instead of common sense and rational procedure, what we've got is the nanny state interfering, not letting adults make rational decisions, closing down shops and putting our economy in stasis.
It's doing billions of pounds of damage.

The Amazing Solar System
by LoveUniHateExams ini gotta say, i don't know much about the solar system.
i never was particularly interested in it.. but i've recently read professor brian cox's book (which accompanies a bbc series) and it's completely fascinating.. i'm quite interested in pictures of mars.
martian landscapes seem familiar and different at the same time ….

Here's the surface of Venus.
^^^ Temperatures here are apparently hotter than Mercury. Venus's thick cloud cover keeps the suns heat in.
Venus was once thought to be possibly like modern Earth. Then the probe landed on the surface, lol.

It's Wonders of the Universe.
There is a BBC TV series of the same name (which I've not seen).
Prof. Cox is obviously knowledgeable and passionate, but he also explains things very well to absolute beginners such as me.
The book was very interesting - it goes into Mars, Venus, Saturn's rings, Saturn's moons Enceladus and Titan, Jupiter and Jovian moons Io and Europa.
It is fascinating, I couldn't put it down, lol.

Fact is we are only in a second lockdown in the UK - anyone know how many billions of pounds the two lockdowns have cost us so far?
How many small businesses have collapsed because of the two lockdowns?
Long term, we can't treat COVID and other diseases without a strong, thriving economy.

This is Uranus.
^^^ It is tilted on its axis approx. 95 degrees. This means that it's kinda 'laying down' rather than 'standing up'. Its North Pole is on the right in this photo. Its thin rings are also visible.
It also has at least 27 moons.
Pretty amazing ...

If anyone has got any interesting facts of photos of the Solar System, please post them!

Allow hospitals to be overrun? - you keep saying this as if it would be a certainty if we did anything else other than a second national lockdown.
As I've said, several times, only the vulnerable groups should social distance, isolate, wear masks.
Everyone else should live their lives as normal.
Pubs, clubs, shops, etc., should all be open.

I think that in order to preserve the confidence in our elections it is time for Trump to now out gracefully - and drop the postal voting.
Elections must be clean.

What would you do differently ? - well, Stan, it's pretty obvious.
NO NATIONAL LOCKDOWNS!
The virus is lethal to the elderly, the obese and the diabetic.
So only those vulnerable groups should isolate, observe social distancing, and wear masks.
Everyone else should be allowed to live their lives. Shops and work places should be open.
What we're doing at the moment is utter insanity. Lockdown after lockdown is ruining our economy. High Streets across Britain are abandoned. Small businesses are going under. Tax payers' cash is being pissed away on the furlough scheme (paying people NOT to work).
Boris is supposed to be a Tory Prime Minister. And he's f**king our economy!
He needs to stop listening to the tart he's shacked up with, and start listening to Tory MPs.
