    We know it makes sense St B, but many don't. Restrictions being lifted in England and elsewhere, including here in the Netherlands will lead to spikes if not a second wave. Our friends and families are keeping up the distancing and avoiding crowds. We'll holiday here, probably borrow or rent a canal cruiser and pootle around the lesser known routes outside the school holiday peak times.

    One problem not mentioned much is that glasses steam up when masks are worn. Bumble talked about it during the test match..,couldn’t read his notes with a mask on. Been informed that the answer is to line the mask with the thinnest panty liner you can find

    Also wash your glasses in soapy water, try not to fully dry the lenses and it leaves a film on the glass,stopping the steaming up when wearing a mask.

    Coronavirus still increasing in Spain, with cases for age group 20-40 quadrupling.

    WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT IN THE VALENCIAN REGION IN THE LAST MINUTE. Face masks, will become mandatory in the Valencian Communite. The Generalitat decrees the mandatory use of the mask to stop outbreaks. Health announces new measures to deal with the pandemic and warns that cases in the age range of 20 to 40 years are quadrupling. The Generalitat orders the mandatory use of masks throughout the Valencian Community to stop outbreaks.
    The Minister of Health, Ana Barceló, has announced at noon today a series of measures to deal with the escalation of infections in the Community. That is why throughout today the Generalitat publish an order with a series of actions, warning of contagion in the family and in nightlife.

    Barceló has highlighted that contagions in the age range between 20 and 40 years are quadrupling, as a result of private parties and not maintaining security measures at nightlife. And due to the increase in cases, the compulsory use has been decided, which will come into force today when the order of the Ministry is published. Both on public roads and in outdoor spaces, except in swimming pools, beaches and natural areas. It has put 20 outbreaks in the Community. https://www.diarioinformacion.com/a...ta-obligatorio-mascarilla-frenar/2283636.html

    A Southampton based company has reported extremely promising results in a study testing the efficacy of an inhaled drug. Reduced the chance of a hospitalised patient needing ventilation by over 75% and reduced the incidence of ongoing problems. Can’t provide link as doing this on the phone and don’t know how. Picked up my revamped computer this morning...needed new hard drive....should be up and running in a month or so :)

    Perhaps they weren’t wearing masks. You don’t have to in an office.
    And in the words of Mark Steel, the reason you don’t have to wear a mask in an office is because everyone knows that the coronavirus would never get past the receptionist.
