I might not be too wrong, there was a bloke from the NHS on the TV last night in a ward full of half dead covid patients pleading that people just stay at home as much as possible, on the same day probably that the angling trust were pleading with the Government to allow us to go out fishing. It was the same in the last lockdown.
I wouldn't be too sure about that, 1 in 50 now have the virus apparently, you could pass a lot of people coughing and sneezing the virus on a car journey, a lot more than you might pass walking around a supermarket. And your car is sucking their air in directly. If I was you I would thermostatically seal your car, buy some oxygen cylinders and put oxygen masks on next time you go out.
I would rather take my chance doing between 30mph and 70mph in my car than sat on a bus with other people, At least modern cars have a pollen type filtration system on the air intakes .
I agree, by the time it has got to that stage most people are isolated. My sister has it and has a persistent cough but that developed a bit later after she first got ill. But then she caught it off people who weren't sneezing or coughing or at least visiting their house so I suppose she could have caught it of a surface. But I still think it was just breathing in the same air. I don't know the science behind it all but if they have it I have a chance of catching off them wherever they are in my book, in the street a bus or even driving along. by them even if it is in the pre coughing stage and sometimes people sneeze anyway and they could have it in an early stage and it could just as well be going fishing. This is just my belief, I work it out for myself regardless of government rules, they are only there to stop the spread and slow it down, even with all the rules many will still catch it and even those that obey to the ninth degree will catch it, they don't protect me as an individual so, I have to work that out for myself. I see the virus not the rules if you understand what I mean. I just think people get blinded by them, I am safe as long as I do this or if I can get round that it is Ok I am still obeying the rules so I am safe or no one can say I am doing anything wrong and these are what concerns them without seeing the virus itself. I think of protecting myself first and how I might best do that and I can do that better by looking at the virus; the rules play a part yes but they were not put there to protect "me". I cant rely on the government or the angling trust blindly following their "advice", I have to think for myself as well; just the way I am.
Mark, it's been hard on my wife Marilyn as she is at risk so not been out much for 9 months, take care mucker.
