Mask 😷 UP !

[seriousguy]

Oh and those persplex glass shields every shop has gone mad on installing aint go to do jack shit either. If the virus builds up in the air, they are pointless.

IMO the best thing shops could do is have really good ventilation.

when we talk we all tend to spit some and invisible particles are released and we do get very close to each other at checkout, that the reason for those, They are useful more in places such in chemists etc, most chemists here are only letting one person in at a time

They do serve a purpose if someone coughs or sneezes. You're right about the viral load in the air but what we've been told so far is that it requires droplets to be transmitted, so the screen should stop the vast majority of that

I am reading about more and more examples where people are catching Covid 19 through the air. Just read about twenty old people in a choir in america that all met up. They did not shake their hands, they did not cough nor sneeze. They used the hand sanitizer. Yet they all ended up getting infected and two of them have died.

Read another similar case about a party in LA.

All the date points to the fact that this is spread in the air in contained compact areas. People dont like hearing that. I dont care.

Osterholm has repeatedly being saying this.

Well yes but presumably they were all actively and enthusiastically singing in close proximity to each other.

I for one do not engage in a song-off with the cashier.

Ventilation as a solution would require wind-tunnel velocities. If the virus is truly airborne, I think we may as well throw in the towel.

Its not airborne. Little droplets float in the air longer than bigger droplets that just fall to ground.

So if you are on a train packed full, loads of people will get infected.

Osterholm says as well that there will be a shortage of parts for devices in the future. Given that so many countries are going into lockdown.

So now is the time to buy that new mobile phone or whatever.

To be fair, 2 and half hours of 60 choir members in close proximity is always going to be a risk

It's made mw think all those valuable minerals used in a phone that is thrown away after a couple of years could be used in medical equipment and drugs, these are limited resources.

I've seen one on those screens after a child sneezed while in her mothers arms. Sorry I didn't take a pic to show what the shop assistant would have been on the receiving end of.
Smokers in particular are always coughing and wheezing all over staff, when this is all over I think a lot of those screens will be staying up or upgraded.
Masks aren't much protection against virus unless you have plenty of them, you have been trained to use them and you change them often.

I don't go out so don't need one.
I chase everyone from my door as want to see no one.
I chose not to listen to the news as they only tell the bad news. I hate this virus for what its doing to me, my girls and everyone else but like my psychiatrist told me and its true you can't kill a virus but they are not alive, they need us to live.
