Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Which bit should have been proof read? Seems ok to me?

Well there's a bit of a clue in the quoted post. Do you really think that it should be referencing the unvaccinated naive population or the unvaccinated native population.

I'm not aware that the naivety of the recipient should have any effect on the efficacy of the vaccine but if it does please explain it to me.

As far as I'm aware naive is a science term for not having had the vaccine/drug before

Vaccine-naive is, & if vaccine-naive population was in the release there would be no doubt; if it said unvaccinated population there would be no doubt; unvaccinated naive reads more as a double negative than a clear explanation.
 
Seemingly there are 14m unused computers/laptops in British homes.
There is also 1m kids in poverty without access to a computer/laptop for home schooling/homework.
Please donate any excess computer/laptops to your local school or foodbank.

A number of old computers will not run MS Teams which is at the core of many online Schools operations.

What is the process? I would want an obvious guarantee that my laptop would be wiped completely (absolutely....no doubt about it....preferably right in front of me) of information. I wouldn't want to just hand it over to the school and hoped they did things right.

That's the issue for us as we have a few but not sure how 100% to ensure it's wiped.

Lady Doon does ours.
I don't think it is too difficult a process.
Something to do with factory settings I think but don't trust anything I say about teccy stuff.

Youll need to do far more than that to insure personal data is removed. If you do it through a reputable collection point they do the necessary.
 
This could have gone in the irritation thread but it works here a bit better.
I am incredibly irritated that I'm starting to get stressed about what BigB is going to say tomorrow.
I held it together through the first 2 lockdowns - did quite well really but this one has been more of a struggle
For one reason and another I managed 7 working days between lockdowns 2 and 3, mainly the Mrs operation and Xmas so I've been off work, effectively since October.
The dodgy knee, that has mostly cleared up, has prevented me from doing much and to say these weeks have been like Groundhog day is a massive understatement
Half the time I've no idea what day of the week it is because I don't need to know..I need to hear something..for me.
If we get nothing from BigB I may succumb to having to go and buy a large amount of beer.
I will also motion the next AGM to remove him as an Honorary Member....
