Cool reception for one of the new Covid-19 vaccines?
THE new vaccines are almost ready (News, December 3), and that seems worth an enthusiastic round of applause.
However, the Pfizer product needs to be kept at minus 70 degrees, whether en route or at a distribution centre.
When the hour arrives for a nurse, NHS manager, health assistant or member of the public to be jabbed, how will they know that the mandatory low temperature has been maintained during its journey?
And what’s the outcome for recipients if their batch has warmed up, even temporarily? me, but it is also possible to refine this by tweaking the settings so that desirable cookies are retained. I don’t like Microsoft browsers and use third party ones (my preference is Firefox, but “other browsers are available”). I also use a free adblock program (there are a number available) with my browser.
Looking at e-mails in particular, again I don’t like Microsoft Outlook. My preferred (free) e-mail providers are Googlemail and GMX, both of which have good filters. If Mr Gill wants to have real time notifications of emails there are then a number of email clients around for free, such as Thunderbird, Emailclient and Mailspring (and others). All of these have filtering functions which are effective at weedingout foreign ladies and people who are most anxious to gift me a percentage of a large sum of money, if I would only send my banking details to them.
Nothing is 100% effective, but it is relatively easy to reduce greatly the number of intrusive advertisements on one hand and nuisance emails on the other.
I wonder, if we are ever fortunate enough to be promoted to Tier 2, if I could take my “substantial meal” (covered in cling film) and sell it to the local taverner.
He could then sell it back to me for the same price along with a pint of foaming brew.
These transactions could continue within the establishment until I have quaffed a surfeit of ale and wobbled home. I then heat up my “takeaway” in the microwave, thus avoiding queuing at the kebab shop. How safe is that!
WELL done Boris Johnson for wanting an EU trade deal but not wanting to cave in to the Brussels dictatorship.
The fact that the EU has criticised our blessed roll out of a coronavirus vaccine is a living testimony to what an interfering bunch Barnier and his mob really are.
Boris Johnson should do a trade deal on our terms or tell the EU where to go and take a running jump.
