Lots of deleting going in by someone who never deletes anything.

"The chief medical officer for England, Chris Whitty, said the new variant discovered in the south-east could be up to 70% more transmissible and could increase the R value by 0.4 or more. "
Now, let me offer an olive branch to Mr 123. I agree that 'up to 70%' is not 70% and could be anything from 0% to 70% and is the kind of sloppy analysis that I abhor. Given the source though, and the rather more concrete 'by 0.4 or more' I don't think I can agree that it is simply 'bolox', a declaration based on more precarious evid...no, you don't get near the definition of evidence in either sufficiency of appropriateness...it is simply (and I use the term advisedly) to support my friend 123's fatuous argument.
Does that 'answer your question'?
So, I've started so I'll finish, to continue my rhetorical exploration of mind stretching questions, do I believe that a book could be written about things that my rather rash friend 123 does not understand...well of course I do, as indeed could one be written about my 'chum' ECB, or indeed me. The practical reality of space-time still gets me, as does fourth order partial differentiation, despite an engineering degree. And don't get me started on the popularity of Kim Kardashian or her enormous moon blocking arse.
God, this lockdown is boring, I'm going to go and do a jigsaw of a large panda.
I'll say night night Mr 123, or as you might put it,

I know a few people that went to see one of his Christmas concerts in Manchester when he made a comeback in the early 90’s they reckon it was outstanding. :shock:

I've never met Clase, but he seems an intellectual colossus compared to your scattergun received 'wisdom' On this one though, I was simply stating the options and that I couldn't make up my mind. Reading is such a tough skill, isn't it, much harder than simply deleting things and pretending you never said them. You are making his case very clear though so thank you for that. I'm now reconciled in my opinion, thank you. No I haven't been drinking. Have you? You usually have. Go back to studying old Dim, but do try and get the dissembling and balls aching repetition of minutiae right, rather than being such a lightweight copy of your master.

Perhaps this is what you want...
