"It now seems that protective measures such as masking and distancing leading to lower exposure (getting a lower infectious dose) correlates with risk of death. So if you’re exposed to less virus the course of the infection is less severe. This has been long-suspected but the data is now supporting that. The decreases we’re seeing in morbidity and mortality are in part due to a very steep ...
I'm not sure that I have read anywhere that the vaccine is seen as a cure all. It has been made clear that having the vaccine will not necessarily stop people getting the virus. The vaccine will, however, stop people getting as ill as they might have done if they had not been vacccinated. And if vaccinated people can still get the virus then they can pass it on to others. But if more and ...
Application approved.
No-one is disagreeing that we have had months of restrictions and that people are now being allowed to travel. It is the very fact that they can, and are, travelling , that is causing disquiet. Lockdown again in how many weeks?

So seems like it is Secmaton Farm. Going back quite some years I seem to remember that a CPO (compulsory purchase order) had to be threatened in ...
"The project could be delayed as the land necessary has to be negotiated with landowners. But the cabinet heard that one of the five owners of the site have told the district council they no longer wish to sell for development." Which one of the owners would that be then? Article says it is the land known as Area 3.
I've just been reading a thread on Eyes of Dawlish concerning this Local Plan review. Quite understandably there are comments expressing concern about Grade 1 agricultural land being developed for housing and how this shouldn't be allowed to happen because this country should be more self sufficient with regard to food, and how it doesn't augur well for the future of the British farming ...
