schestowitzI don't recall it was ever suggested that postponing the exams was not sensible, it clearly was sensible inasmuch that it wasn't irrational. I understand that the frustration was that, whilst sensible, postponing the exams, at least in the UK, wasn't necessary, and at present that still seems to be the case.Mar 13 04:39
schestowitzMany candidates will have spent hundreds of hours revising for the exams, most of which will be wasted, if, as seems likely, the exams are not to be held within the next six months. Given the odds I'm sure that many candidates, myself included, would be content to accept a risk of personal harm that appears no greater than many day-to-day risks, for the potential gain of several hundred hours of free-time next year and a hefty pay-Mar 13 04:39

schestowitzI can only presume from the tone of your comment that you are not one of those candidates who have just potentially lost hundreds of hours of time and thousands of pounds in salary?Mar 13 04:39
schestowitzI wonder what your response would be if the EPO turned around to you and said that you couldn't practice for a year, for reason of preserving fairness with EPAs in other countries?Mar 13 04:39

schestowitzHi.Mar 13 04:40
schestowitzI'm sorry this happened to you. Really I am.Mar 13 04:40
schestowitzI'm not one of the candidates affected and no, I wouldn't like it if the EPO told me I couldn't practice for year out of fairness to EPAs in other countries. But if the EPO told me I couldn't practice for a year in order to save many lives, possibly including my own, then I think I might feel differently.Mar 13 04:40
schestowitzYou see, it's not about the risks you'd be taking. It's about the risks to others.Mar 13 04:40
schestowitzOne day, all this will be behind you and you will feel better, I promise.Mar 13 04:40
schestowitzI hope you and all your loved ones stay healthy.Mar 13 04:40

schestowitzThis really gets to the heart of why the EPO has made the right decision here. No candidate should have to "accept a risk" to participate in the exams, and of course they would feel pressurised to do so given all the reasons you laid out.Mar 13 04:41
schestowitzAlso you aren't just responsible for your own personal health in this instance. You may be correct that you will be fine (e.g. if you are in your 20s and in good health), but what if you pick up corona virus and pass it to someone elderly or infirm? There is a collective responsibility too when it comes to pandemics.Mar 13 04:41

schestowitz"...because copper & zinc are base metals. You can make titanium more ductile using ductile metals, though it might compromise titanium's toughness. However, tungsten is used because it's ductile at high temperatures, which is why lanthanated TIG welding rods made of W exist. 2/2"Mar 13 07:38
