What this article assumes is that people in control and in research 1-2 years ago "knew everything about covid" or knew what we know now. They didn't. What we should assume is that 99% of people in general are morons and not

No. I must be doing something differently. To be fair, Edge is not forced upon me, as I am using Firefox, but the only thing I do not like is that Windows 10 is updating itself whenever it wants. Ah, and I installed Windows 10, that does no

More likely, that the user base of VISA credit cards in UK is not big enough to pay for using it. After Brexit both Master cards and VISA cards have increased costs, so this can't be the reason.

Most of UK customers are VISA debit card users. To be fair, I was completely convinced, that Master cards are the credit cards and VISA are debit cards... who knew. Anyway - it appears that it is not my problem and I don't care. ......

Oxygen is produced by plankton. Trees did not appear on this planet before oxygen, so you are breathing air not because of trees. Human species also are multicellular species...
