Winter breath spreading covid....

[paul&mandy]

Been hedging today and the hundreds of people out walking, jogging and cycling is total madness.
While waiting for the masses to pass I can see how it spreads. People are expelling vapor like steam trains now its cold, anyone passing or following at any distance is going to catch it if someone has the virus. The nearest town they are saying 1 in 20 has it.
I also watched a group chatting and could see all 4 of there breaths mixing.
I bet that's why its out of control as opposed to the warmer months....
Im just surprised no one has picked up on this?

But isn't that happening anyway, it's just when it's warmer you don't notice ?
Just watched footy celebrations in the changing rooms on the news..........no social distancing what so ever. WTF is it going to take for folks to wise up ?

but surely your breath is drier in the summer with less vapor?

Could be.....not done any research TBH

I think i posted months back having watched a “vaper” exhaling and a cloud passing right across the road.
Any virus is near death once it dries. In this weather it won’t dry all day, in summer that can be seconds

It's been the one weakness, outdoors anything goes apparently.

So many people using the excuse of their daily exercise to spend large amounts of time out of the house. See lots of different family groups meet up and go for a mass walk, twenty in s group at times, all standing close together. And at every pinchpoint, bottleneck, gate, junction when they meet another group, social distancing is impossible.
It's difficult to take this lockdown seriously, all the economic and social damage without the full benefit a genuine lockdown would bring.

I personally would have no lockdown and all over 70s and vulnerable shield until vaccinated.
It's not fair to harm a 6 year olds life chances so a 95 year old gets a year or two more.

I think they should ban breathing for 6 weeks and see how that goes. I reckon that might knock it on the head for good.

Same amount of H2O, just less visible and with a shorter range(less persistency)

It would be rampant in the young and then would spread to the older generations if this route was followed.

Forget 6 year or 95 year olds,this is about keeping hospitals functioning.

It‘s pretty well to do anything to change the outcome now.

Sounds like a plan, we will start on road cyclists for a trail and see how it goes....

I'll vote for that.

Hence pneumonia in cattle sheds in winter.

Get cattle who can survive outside.

What if they stand round a ring feeder and you can see their breath around each other’s heads on a cold morning in the winter?

Got to ask where a lot of the people who are catching it are getting it from. Schools are mainly off now so where are people catching it?
I think 2m isn't enough even outside the way I've seen breath going a lot further. Maybe 2m was adequate in the summer but not now it's cold.

school holidays were 13 days around here,incubation period for covid is supposed to be up to 14 days.
then they went back for 2 days ........... now im no rocket scientist ,epidemiologist or even a doctor but....

Having said that the truth i suspect is that its creeping out from the Heavily populated areas

Shortly and as soon as its light enough (as long as there's not too much fog) i will be off to run a flock back home long an A road as up to now this week, its been way too busy...

People going to work.

Listening to “Lawro” on footy yesterday he made the most sensible comment stating football should stop given the gravity of what’s going on. Football isn’t essential the last time I looked. I know they play behind closed doors but it’s not in the spirit of things. A bit like Cheltenham races wanting to go ahead with limited or no spectators. This is nonsense when the entertainment and hospitality trade had been decimated these last 10 months.

Spoke on the phone last night to my daughter who is a primary teacher and she said classes are a lot fuller than 1st lockdown.
A lot more "key" workers under the definition and now only one parent needs to be a key worker instead of two to qualify.
