Merry Christmas! :)

Well behaved bots are sometimes welcome.

They can control who enters and leaves. Everyone passes through the usual security and customs anyhow. Planes are currently a rare sight! Our small runway was the busiest in Europe in the 1980s in terms of planes landing and taking off constantly, but not in terms of passenger numbers. So...

The Pfizer-BioNTech does need to be stored at –94°F (–70°C) and also needs a second dose at 21 days. I can't see it being used everywhere, the logistics of it would be huge.

Quarantine and so on is all that some countries have or can afford and it does seem to have worked throughout much of central Africa. Meanwhile it is blowing-up in wealthy areas.

I'd agree, but which would you choose have COVID-19 or the vaccine?

I wonder what the 20 to 100 million people who died of Spanish flu would think of people refusing the vaccine? It killed my grandmother's brother, a perfectly healthy sailor aged 19. Took him 3 months to die.

It's got worse here with about 1000 known cases out of the 100,000 or so people who live here. But they have started to vaccinate already starting with care home residents.

Brilliant writer!

I think Trump is now beginning to see he has no chance of winning. The new gets through even the thickest of skulls eventually.

Yup, so easy to see just how easily fascism can get started again. Even when their leader looks like a big orange inflatable toy and can barely manage to string a sentence together. Trump is claiming there's a conspiracy to oust him! Too right! It's what's most of us call an election.

And Trump is losing and of course declaring he has won like a true fascist despot!

AFAIK, he has never even made lots of money. He has had (or most likely laundered) large sums of his father's dodgy money. He has racked-up 100s of millions in personal debt. His true financial net worth is going to be less than yours and mine! He is worthless in every possible sense of the word.

Well Hitler was also sick and propped up with drugs before his demise!

Given his behaviour, wandering around and knowingly infecting others, he certainly deserves whatever bad luck comes his way. Anyone else would be prosecuted and jailed if they did what he does.

He's going to die sooner or later. The sooner the better. Hopefully they can make him pay all of his taxes and loans first, all those billions of dollars he owes.

That smoke is affecting the colour of the sky in Britain as well!

These Apple laptops aren't being bought by gamers, that's more of a side thing. A lot of creative workers do use Apple kit and Adobe software. Now much of Adobe's software can be run as a cloud service meaning the client device only needs a fast internet connection and processing power is less...

I hear those Asian hornets have turned up in Washington. We have a bit of a problem with them here as well.

I've been working the whole time, but they've relaxed the lockdown here now. We can go out for 4 hours a day for any reason. They've just completed a field hospital with 180 beds but it is currently unused.
