Perhaps if you stick your head in a bucket full to the brim with water, and then do something (weight I I guess?) with the water that flows over the edge of the bucket?
No, it won't work. A bucket of feathers isn't equal to a bucket of earth. Equal volume does not mean equal weight.DEXA scan will tell you how much your head weighs (well how much mass you have above your chin)
Hmm.
What the feck are you smoking ?!
yeah, truly heartbreaking.You could work out the volume of your head by immersing yourself in water, first to your chin, then completely. Then you could have a guess at the density of your head based on data from corpses. Tricky one though. Why do you ask? Worried your head has put on a few pounds?
Possibly my favourite comedy sketch of all time.
Oh, no. I know my head is massive, it seems to have its own gravitational pull seeing as birds have flown into it on two separate occasions. Just something I've been curious about for years.
No idea to be honest. Haven't heard about any paediatric cases of Covid-19 in my area.
Good news for the pork markets.

I reckon you could also work it out by lying on a see-saw, straddling the mid-point, trying to reach an equilibrium. Work out the point at which your body has an equal weight either side of the fulcrum then... do a load of maths...
Paeds ITU is very specialised and miles over my head. So take this with a pinch of salt.
Ooh that's clever.
Any distance in a suggestion that because all Hospitals have clear lines of sight nationally, and a narrow focus; that that which would ordinarily pass by, is now being looked at through a different lens?
I think it's a load of bollocks they don't get life assurance as it is, I work for a manufacturing firm and if I die in service my family would get double that.
I have no idea if the numbers are above national averages for conditions that cause similar illnesses. It’s also possible that these are a unique clinical picture, unlike anything seen before. In that scenario, you’d take a cluster as small as half a dozen cases extremely seriously. I’m sure people way smarter than me are keeping an eye on things and we’ll find out soon if we’ve anything to worry about.
Yeah quite a few places are on a downward trend now, great to see. It'll be interesting to see what effect lifting the restrictions has on things
Thats an optional benefit on most cases though. Anyone can pay for life assurance whether privately or through salary sacrifice if offered through work.
only if it was your firms fault I'd imagine?
No mate, it's basically life insurance for as long as I am employed by them, if I die of anything whilst still employed by them my next of kin gets a payout. They pay the insurance, so there's no cost to us.
Yeah mine is the same. I think they might even pay triple in some cases (i.e. if you are travelling for work).
Am I dumb to think that NHS staff should already get this before covid-19 ?
I depends on the level of employee, I suppose, but NHS employees should absolutely have life insurance provided by their employer as you would expect from any large organization that values those who work for them.
All the money raised by NHS donations should be given to these people. I think it would work out much more but I wouldn't know how they could work it out. The NHS should not be getting funded by the public donations because this cnut of a government have underfunded it for years.
Yup I get 6x core salary and then pay for an additional £200k cover.
God that seems to be real as well. What a brown nose.
My family get three years salary if I die. Getting 60k means feck all. I'm actually surprised to find out that they don't get that because I'm public sector too. But that's through a local pension scheme I pay into so maybe that's why?
But Cameron and Boris are grateful for the NHS so that makes up for it.
Weight the bucket, fill it with water and weigh it again. Stick your head in the bucket causing the watervto over flow. Weigh the bucket and remaining water. Deduct the new bucket weight from the full bucket weight and you have the weight of water your head disolaced. The human body is on average very slightly less dense than water (unless you are very skinny) so the weightvof water minus 5% is a good approximation of you head weight.
I am in the private sector so I am not sure how it works for you, it could be something to do with the pension scheme I think the more I put into my pension the more x annual salary my family gets.
