FenwayFrank 2,459 Posted March 20, 2020 I’ve seen Tom and Anna, or at least I think it was them as they had masks and gloves on. Teemu came into the shop yesterday but I missed him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobLoz3 492 Posted March 20, 2020 Apparently Teemu was shopping in a supermarket this morning. A lady on the FB fans page who worked in said shop was delighted to meet him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teemu came into the shop yesterday but I missed him. I get the gloves but masks really is taking it too far imo. Why you ask? Well, it isn't airborne for a start and those masks can end up pretty damn unhygienic anyhow! As we all know, with the constant "wash your hands" messages, viruses and suchlike are spread by contact. I've always known this, as it's the same as a common cold. Makes me wonder how gross people really are if they have to be told continually to wash their hands! Everyone should be able to go out and go to the supermarket or suchlike, but clearly NOT if they are displaying symptoms (yes, I realise that there aren't any in the initial stages). Panic buying really doesn't help anyone (and it is more the people doing that who frighten me, rather than the virus!)

NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) in the US reported detecting viable virus in aerosols for up to three hours. "Both the Covid-19 and the SARS viruses had an aerosol half-life of 1.1 hours, meaning half the particles drop out of the air after that amount of time, and half of what remains drop out after another 1.1 hours. After a day, roughly nine half-lives, 0.002 (0.2 of 1%) of the original particles remain. As a result, the scientists said, “aerosol … transmission of [the new coronavirus] is plausible, since the virus can remain viable and infectious in aerosols for hours." https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/16/coronavirus-can-become-aerosol-doesnt-mean-doomed/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
