I have been alerted by the mother of a junior member that BBC will be doing a live piece from a Lincolnshire Model Railway Clubroom on Look North at around 07.50, and again at around 08.50, tomorrow morning [Tuesday 16th January]. Because this has been brought about by the press reporting of...

It was a Gresley B17!

I don't swing by here very often so if you accept my answer I will leave an open floor ... I believe that was the LB&SCR Billinton K class 2-6-0 experimentally fitted in 1922?

And I've always disliked Amazon [et al.] for all sorts of reasons ... I am very pleased to say that I bought all of the presents that I will be giving this year from places within 1 mile of where I live :) Am 'off-grid' for a couple of days now so, again, have a good one!

And just by coincidence the BBC is reporting that France has cancelled its order for Merck & Co's Covid-19 antiviral drug following the publication of disappointing trial data. The name of the drug? ..... molnupiravir No mention by the BBC that NHS is going ahead with mass offerings of that...

CEVs [the Clinically Extremely Vulmnerable] - might be offered treatments, either in a medical setting [sotrovimab] or to take at home [molnupiravir]. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/treatments-for-coronavirus/ Extracts: I have yet to check the approval status of...

Surely it was predicted that cases of Omicron (rather than Delta) would double every 3 days? Delta will still be the majority of cases across the UK. To see what is happening with Omicron in the UK then look eg at Lambeth which seems to be at or close to our epicentre having had relatively low...

I intend to have a Happy Christmas and wish you all the same :) And so the gentle reminder to some: Have a good one!

Gauteng: Brief summary: The initial wave of Omicron in Gauteng peaked around 8th December (reported 9th), both for new cases and 7 day average. The anomalous/spurious/suspicious figure reported on 12th December was originally 16716 cases higher and was attributed to reporting issues with the...

Other 'media' outlets are quoting the Mail story. The BBC is also saying this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59714241 I do wonder if the story was leaked or 'given' to the Mail now to pre-empt possible further restrictions on the people of this country in the name of 'Omicron'. I am...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10324429/Brexit-minister-Lord-Frost-walks-Boris.html mmm ..... but was 'persuaded' to stay until January ....... Part quote:

This is getting more complicated. Yesterday's 'high' reported figures have been amended downwards to a figure more like the one that I was expecting. This is notwithstanding the explanations given in the links kindly provided by @yorkie and @Chris125 . The reported figures in the published...

Thanks both. Think that I'll look at both daily numbers and the 7 day average going forward. Am having a couple of days away from tomorrow and will not be looking at any Covid data, 'propaganda' or anything else that could depress. Anybody give me the SP on good pubs in Worcester? 1639421362...

:frown:

Have been trying to follow this closely. Do you have a source please? Totally agree.

As is usual in the UK, South Africa inc Gauteng reported case numbers are normally lower on Sundays/Mondays. But not today. Gauteng cases reported today [for yesterday]: Sunday [12th]: 16716 ..... the highest number reported in any one day for the whole pandemic. I have to say that I...

And cases reported today [for yesterday] in Gauteng: Saturday [11th]: 8529 https://www.covid19sa.org/ A further decline - again underlining far from an 'exponential increase' Omicron could have already peaked in Gauteng. We have been sold another pup ..... This needs highlighting in any...

And today's reported number is: Friday: 9250 https://www.covid19sa.org/ Yesterday I wrongly ascribed Mr to Whitty, today he is simply a bad prophet, a very bad prophet .....

Well if you run that log graph of Gauteng cases along a bit, rather than an 'exponential increase' it seems to have err.. stalled. Reporting of day before - reported day: Thursday 8281 Friday 11554 Saturday 11625 Sunday (weekend) was 7931 Monday (weekend) was 4501 Tuesday 8449 Wednesday 11703...
