Re: Coronavirus
Seems they are expanding the mass testing ..
Including ;
* Nottingham City
* Nottinghamshire
So it will be interesting to see if we get offered a test.

If they are basing things purely on the level of infections, the number of infections per 100,000 should go DOWN. A large proportion of the population will not have been tested and have been behaving themselves, so their test results are more likely to be negative.

Re: Coronavirus

My shoes, trousers, coat, hair, etc, they are all "contaminated" as well.
Worrying about one small patch of material on my face seems a little strange.

Yeah, as others have said, you are actively sucking or blowing virus on to the mask surface depending on whether you have COVID or close to someone else who does so the mask is going to get pretty nasty..
Or another way of thinking - what's dirtier, your floor or your hoover bag after hoovering it? Same amount of dirt but all in one place.

Re: Coronavirus
Are we being realistic here? When you're in a public area, you're nearly always 2m or more distant from someone else. If you're not, then you'd have to be directly facing an infected person who would then have to eject mist through the mask.
Improbable combinations, I would suggest. In other words, why haven't I got CV yet?

Re: Coronavirus
Just think how far cigarette smoke and the aromas from vaping actually travel. And that's just the detectable distance. The less obvious distance of travel is even further.

Same with a good fart (was gonna say trump but didn't want to start people off).
In fact anything you smell, from whatever distance, means minute particles have traveled . . .

Re: Coronavirus
Looking at the first graph on the government’s own website.
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths
That doesn’t seem to reflect the government’s and media headlines?
