> [@joe](#): > > > And Breathe… > > Once at a safe distance, anyway …but just how far away?? I am reminded of something in a book I first encountered when I was about 13 (I think it was published in 1961) called _“Lady Luck”_ I recently got the Kindle version, and sure enough there it was: _“There are more than 10\*\*19 molecules in a cubic centimeter of gas under normal conditions; and Sir James Jeans pointed out that when anyone draws a breath it is highly probable that it contains some of the molecules of the dying breath of Julius Caesar.”_ Weaver, Warren. Lady Luck: The Theory of Probability (Dover Books on Mathematics) . Dover Publications. Kindle Edition. ---

> [@Carinthia](#): > > “I suspect that many figures will be ‘guestimated” Oh, out of the mouths of babes from Chesterfield. A tad more info ca be found on BBC Wales news on the BBC website. It appears that Betsi (not the owd girl herself, but the Health Board) DECIDED not to use a counting system specifically introdced across all Welsh Boards for this very purpose. Some small, senior I assume, group looked at it & said “naah, not for us”. During 5 years under special measures. Maybe after 5 years, special ain’t so special. How inept are these people ?
