Not one bit, i will need to pay you in cash though. Also how quickly can you jump out the window and run round the block? That's your only task if the pigs come in
I can still move fast but nowadays I need a day's rest in between escape missions.
 
There’s a video of a golf ball dropped into a load of densely spread mouse traps which shows perfectly how the virus spreads, and has very little to do with overall population and a lot to do with concentration of people... it seems pretty basic stuff but some people still don’t get it.

It also shows how social distancing is a very effective method. There’s no reason to think this virus will thrive once the curve has settled and people actually pay attention to the frickin rules, use gloves, use masks and use common sense.

Golf ****ers... why am I not surprised?

I get your points Tel and on the whole I agree, but I am apprehensive around gloves and masks. Gloves as an example, what do they actually protect you from or someone else - if you have gloves on and touch your face, which is a perfectly normal reaction, you still spread the virus to yourself and still pass it from surface to surface. Also a mask in the main is to prevent you, from coughing your germs onto other people, but again because you are wearing a mask, your hands will either move the mask to make yourself more comfortable or for putting on and taking off - again hence your hands are near your face, even with gloves on. So I can see the use of masks purely from the point of a carrier, coughing everywhere, but the gloves, unless you work in hospital or social care, I'm not seeing the point, that's down to basic hygiene of washing your hands or using gel.
 
I saw a report that implied that the generation who had the BCG vaccination at school had a stronger antibody resistance to flu type viruses
I have never had the flu virus nor has my wife and we both had the BCG vaccination during the 50s and 60s
There is no proof bu the majority of deaths appear to be in the generation before the vaccinations and the generation after they were stopped
For the younger ones on here the BCG was a vaccination you had around 11 yrs old to prevent tuberculosis
I had the BCG an have had flu once in my life. In bed for two weeks solid <laugh>

People who are coughing shouldn’t be out and about anyway, the gloves are an additional measure of protection, whether they work or not is debatable but I’m absolutely convinced that any level of filter over the airways works so decent quality masks definitely reduce the spread of this virus.

Yeah, I'm in agreement with masks, especially as there is a minority that do not social distance. But outside of care and hospitals, gloves I feel are a false protector.

if we all wore one then those that have it would contain it to some extent with their masks thus preventing it from spreading

you don’t really touch your face much just get the strings around your ears.

same with gloves...I wear them when I go out and take them off when I close my front door once I’m back in. It may be on the gloves but it’s defo not on my hands. I sanitise my gloves when I come in...then wash my hands.

it might not be 100% virus proof but I’m convinced it’s better than nothing and that’s how I’m approaching this.

Do what we can...what will be will be.
