Yes you did OGF! I dont know about Brucy sometimes myself?
So l thought lr try to back you up as your post was spot on about
the comparison between oz and uk!!!
They were ridiculous comparisons totally ignoring the fact that over half the Australian population lives in just 5 cites with over one third of the total population living in just two cities. Australia is one of the most urbanised nations on the planet so waffling on about deserts and vast open spaces makes no sense in the context of Covid19 whatsoever.
You havent answered the question of where uk can put the
144,000 at a conservative estimate arrivals at just heathrow every
24hrs Brucy? Maybe because there is no answer to it!
But as we concur that the solution to the problem is to freeze all
air travel as soon as an epidemic arises lsee no point in arguing
any further just for the sake of arguing??
Donkeman!
Edit the passenger numbers should be about 288000 arrivals!
I try to keep abreast of the ways that C-19 is transmitted but there is one thing I have not been able to determine.
We all know that droplets of C-19 are a major way that it is passed from one to another , but what about aerosol ? Like an invisible fog that hangs in the air ? Let’s say for example, an infected person walks through a grocery store, he/she breathes in and out leaving an aerosol hanging in the air. I come along 3 minutes later and I breathe in that “invisible fog” of C-19. How likely is it that I now have C-19 ?
They have said that it’s not transmitted via aerosol but via droplets. Although I am not convinced. I read a study a few weeks ago about how people sitting in close proximity over a meeting table for a period of two hours managed to transfer the virus just because of proximity and breathing. Not sure of the study but it was a scientific publication. It may have been based in South Korea or Singapore. Can’t remember precisely but it did make me alarmed about proximity and people breathing near me.
I think it must be one of the non peer reviewed studies that I found. Can’t seem to find it now and WHO have changed the design of their site.
I’m taking no chances. Any foods in plastics are soaked in diluted bleach for at least half an hour. With hand washing after touching anything even after it’s been left all week. Anything that comes through the door is handled with thick rubber gloves and left in the front room to decontaminate. Followed by handwashing despite the gloves. The front door handles etc are regularly sprayed.
They have said paper is fairly safe after 24 hours but I still won’t touch it with confidence. Cardboard is meant to be the safest only a few hours 24 at most. However, there is a lot of conflicting information out there. I’d be interested what surface retained for 17 days! It seems both metal and plastics are bad.
