I've also read that copper alloys, brass and bronze have a similar curve to that of pure copper.
not only is it spreading it is also making very subtle changes to its make up, there are probably 3 or 4 sub-types now.
Plenty of common sense thereI read about the whole lipid thing. Its why it seems so important to wash hands before eating food. Ie it can get on your skin and not penetrate it until it goes near your mouth.
I still think people must keep calm. It is going to spread through the population, it is going to slow down if we take the right measures and I think they are right to seek to totally isolate the 2 million most vulnerable as they are the highest risk of death. I think other people should still be allowed to take walks etc observing the social distancing.
I don't agree with total lockdown, I think we need to keep reinforcing the message about keeping the distance. Trains should stop, all shops should shut and people should go to food places with a list etc. But I still support people having an opportunity to get out once a day albeit for 45 mins - that will also help the respiratory system
i now know of 3 people with c19
a 45 yr old friend of my wife’s husband, confirmed by test but he’s at home and not too bad - fit healthy guy
a friends brother in london - 38, confirmed he’s at home but apparently not in a good way, smoker and obese
most worryingly is a boy at my children’s school - 9yrs old and currently in hospital ! not confirmed as c19 yet however
looking at the numbers we are following italy in a very scary way - there are going to be hundreds a day dying within the next 10 days
since posting this i have heard of a 4th friend

the biggest problem is the assumption there is common sense amongst the public! Clearly there isn't.
I find it amusing how the democratic loving public will need dictatorship style leadership to keep them safe.
I'm not one of those people who sneers at the "general public" as if I'm not part of them or that everyone except me is stupid. Everyone will and has made some mistakes over self distance, hand cleaning etc. incl you and me. People were actively encouraged to get fresh air this weekend and it wasn't really anticipated that everyone would act as they did. The people who drove to Snowdon didn't really know it would be so busy and we are all also guilty of following herds from time to time
Each new message will take a few days to sink in. Some people going mad at people walking up Snowdon were the same people doing fb pictures of themselves in the pub on friday. If people keep a cool head, we can preserve some of our liberty, keep a bit of our economy going and slow the transmission. But each new move will take a couple of days to filter through. A week ago people were not really aware of the symptoms, now they are much more aware and it will filter through. There is not going to be a magic "solution".
If I was over 70 or vulnerable I would probably totally self isolate. As I have children and I share them with their mum I can't but we will reduce movement times of them
You're far more tolerant than me, I'll give you that.
have you seen the last few pages of the 'behaviour of the public thread'? I hope it doesn't take many more days to 'kick in'.
Behaviour of the Public (well some)
You wouldn’t believe the camper vans around here today, I’m not ashamed to say that I went through the lot of them like a dose of salts, nobody was spared. We lay on a few forest walks through the estate (helps with felling licenses) which start at a central point, at this location (which...thefarmingforum.co.uk
Back in the factory......which is in a very strange situation, more of that later!
Mailbox is stuffed with research requests relating to "it", it seems (briefly) that not only is it spreading it is also making very subtle changes to its make up, there are probably 3 or 4 sub-types now.
We have 16 confirmed inpatients and, sadly, 2 deaths.
Must run....lots to do!
and potentially thousands per day not long after!i now know of 3 people with c19
