No, the worst thing is that this was avoidable and the rest of the world pleaded with the a UKGOV to abandon its criminally insane herd immunity plan, take its head out of the sand and take evasive action. This is nothing less than a comple

To me the biggest issue with all this is that it uses the center console screen for almost all data display - I much prefer using a phone mount and putting things just to the side of my steering wheel so I don't have to take my eyes of

I mean, 1.25M people died in 2013 globally from car accidents, and we didn't all start working from home then. I understand that a new virus is scary - but the level of fear, panic and anxiety is quite disproportionate. Keep your hands

On the fourth page he talks a bit about inability to sing a certain note. My first ever exposure to learning an instrument was a particularly cruel violin teacher - before he would let me pick up the violin he pressed a note on the piano an
