No point wasn’t missed.

All I’m saying is. % that are infected + % Going out in car + % then breaking down + % that call breakdown service + % that don’t distance themselves whilst car being worked on + % that infect recovery man.

Like I say, it’s thin.

I didn’t realise you were an expert in Epidemiology.

Nope just an expert in reality, and perspective

As hypotheses go, it’s thin.

I disagree. But let's say everyone takes the same view as you, where do we stand as the lockdown would be pointless.

Well you have people that think it's okay to drive somewhere for their exercise. So yeah I think we do need to argue certain points when there's so much stupidity about.

I wasn’t disagreeing that people shouldn’t go out, of course they shouldn’t, I am just sceptical of your direct correlation of going out in the car + breakdown recovery service = NHS overload.

People need to calm the funk down.

I live in semi-rural area, and since lockdown the road (a long country lane) that I live on has never, ever been busier. There are people walking, and cycling and driving all the time. Not people from out of town but people just from the local area out for their walk.

It's possible that for many people their local area is generally more busy, so they have to seek out slightly more remote places.

You only need to be 2m apart. Just excuses mainly. Other than that, stay in and do excercies.

So you believe people should stay in. But people aren't staying in and the more people that don't stay in, especially when they see other people doing it, the more will go out. The more that go out, the chance of spreading becomes greater. The chance that spreading becomes greater, the more chance people need hospital treatment. Also those that are involved in crashes. My argument is based on people not doing as they should. The more people that go out the greater the risk. You shouldn't be sceptical of it, it's how it spreads.

If you have a garden then there's no excuse to go out for a drive to do exercise. Same with an A&E Doctor saying do not do DIY, climb ladders, or allowing kids to play on trampolines etc etc. I would say common sense but then there's always some that 'think they' know better.

I'll be mowing the front & rear lawns today, that's probably way too much exercise for a bloke in my condition*

Don’t do DIY?

Do you know how many husbands that are in receipt of a jobs list as long their arm?

Myself included.

Modern car batteries can go flat in as little as two weeks. Stop start batteries are the worst affected
