I can't tell you the specifics. I know from holidays that they have improved a lot. The newer ones have much better insulation and double glazing. Sure, they are geared towards a UK climate.

I use 8 pieces of A4 folded in half and stapled. You need a long-necked stapler, (or cotton and thread I suppose) and you're done. It always lies flat. A4 is super cheap. You can print covers or different types of page if you're i

We understand that covid is causing scarring on the lungs heart and kidneys and other organs, in some cases. This would reduce function of those organs, and that reduction may not impact people until they are older. That's why it'

And according to [1] 125,117 patients were admitted to hospital based on 290,133 positive tests. So about 43% of UK people who test positive are being hospitalized. So that's really bad. 1: https://coronavirus-staging.data.
