It's serious but hard to contract. Need close proximity.

This is simply how you nip wider serious outbreaks in the bud. We'd have done it for covid but that spreads far too easily for us to get to isolated patients.

No conspiracy needed. If they were covering it up then stories of parachute drops to remote islands wouldn't be on Auntie.

We'll see I guess, I get anxious and I'm sure I'm not alone when we hear of shit like this now after covid, it's a short sigh and a "not again" everytime.

Army parachutes onto Tristan da Cunha to help Briton with suspected hantavirus

The specialist team parachuted onto Tristan da Cunha, a remote British overseas territory, to treat them.

How important do you need to be to get this treatment

You just need to live on a very remote island.

Well Rome's shit:

Spoiler

Raging (and laughing (and crying)) at Rome's need for social control over it's incresingly ungovernable expanding empire and choice to historise christianity as the method, and it's eventual supplanting by said religion as a much wider (and actually more violent and insidious) system of government.

Yes, it looks like it has a green screen behind it.

Heat pump install started today. Someone at the factory dropped the cylinder so they're bringing another one to replace it. The heat pump itself is in the box, the back yard is full of shit right now while it's being done.

Life with a heat pump is interesting. No more boiler noise when I run the tap, no noise on heating. Just a bit of a whirr from some little motor that's going to end up boxed into a cupboard anyway. But the main difference is that the central heating boiler would just come on, fire up all the rads, and then turn off. Whereas the heat pump just comes on gently, warms up the rads, monitors the temperature, thinks about where things will be a bit later, and modulates its output accordingly. The result is that whereas before, the house would be cold-warm-hot-warm-cold-warm-hot, it's now just....warm. I have it set to 19 degrees right now, in winter I'll probably add a degree to that. You can change all kinds of settings in the app but I'm keeping it on the cheap ones for now.

Heat delivered so far is 109.3kWh, using 28.3kWh, so that's a COP of 3.86 so far.

I'm still waiting for a replacement cylinder (the top is damaged). I can probably improve efficiency because there are a couple of radiators still on 10mm pipe, but the installer said that with the buffer tank (just visible at the top of that video, the dark cylinder), that isn't necessary.

You should copy this into the solar thread too @Tom - be good to have renewable energy experience there?
