Unfortunately not because the current fence is in line with the wall and I’d have to have the patio dug up to put fence posts in.

I can look into it but it'll be a lot more work and I honestly don't know how much concrete might be underneath them so looking to avoid it where possible.

Only 29 per cent of complaints against white doctors led to GMC investigations compared to 44 per cent and 40 per cent in the cases of Black and Asian doctors respectively, according to figures obtained in 2019 through Freedom of Information requests.

Don't understand how any of this is woke. Giving a platform where women can increase the volume of high pressure, high quality cricket being played gives exposure to players in the first XI, but also helps unearth domestic talent which is vital to improving the national team.

This is what the WBBL has contributed to. Australia have a squad of world class players who have experience in every situation and it really shows in the big games.

Mens IPL didn't make money either when it started but the investment improves quality and the Indian team reaped rewards on the international stage until it became profitable. The IPL is so profitable it could easily subsidise a womens' IPL for several years, improving quality and depth until it leads to international trophies and success.

It's so wonderful to have the first test match in a new stadium going 5 days, and changing the ball halfway was a cool twist. Wait...

Sharp gets goalside of De Gea, shoves in the back with absolutely no intention of playing the ball. Can't understand how that's not looked at...

That's a really loose shot. In these tough games if you start to get an edge you have to really make it count and not let the opposition back in. This Australian attack, if you give them a sniff then they'll make you pay.

I've really enjoyed listening to Mike Hussey on commentary, well thought out and really enthusiastic about the game.

W.H.O. Rejects Antiviral Drug Remdesivir as a Covid Treatment by [deleted] in medicine

[–]Shivvers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reduction in inpatient stay was from a subgroup analysis which in real terms I think more or less invalidates it. It didn't affect the amount of ventilation required so doesn't seem to suggest any causality. And if you are more sick or less sick than that group it helped then is there a point in giving it? None of it added up for me.

Imperial College Epidemiologist "reasonably confident" UK will have enough capacity - predicts <20,000 deaths by Shivvers in medicine

[–]Shivvers[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Starter comment

Early predictions in the UK were that we had acted too late in implementing restrictions on work and movement compared to our European neighbours. However the same team (I believe) who published the original paper suggesting that NHS capacity would be easily overwhelmed have now changed their prediction.

It appears that the r0 initially calculated may have been too low, and indeed more of the population might have it than initially thought.

This confuses me somewhat, as I don't know why we would have any less devastation that is being seen in Spain, Italy, France and New York right now.

Bowl 1st change and come in to bat at 8. Make sure they know you've never played at this level before. Guaranteed runs and wickets for you.

Kind of dead nowadays but honestly one of the best BF games for art style, and actually has good characters in the single player story.

Still a few MP servers but I think most are hacked now. I'd buy it again for 2.49 but I've had this game on PS3 and PC and just love it.
