• Yeah - this. Everyone our way seems to be obeying the rules. Anyone at the park is keeping a reasonable distance and not being a dick about it - it seems low risk to me (obviously not an expert). It's certainly lower risk than Sainsbury's.

    The govt has managed to stop (I imagine) 95% of gatherings and travelling. My personal interactions have gone down from hundreds per day on the tube, to half a dozen or less. Is that last 5% worth the loss of goodwill?

    In other news, I got an anonymous note through my door this afternoon referencing the virus and asking that, in this time of national peril, we refrain from using our barbecues due to, I assume, local asthma suffers.

    Thought that was a bit over the top.

  • I'm assume the local asthma sufferers are doing quite well due to the general reduction in diesel and petrol fumes. Although the ones that are triggered by hay fever not so much.

  • Although the ones that are triggered by hay fever not so much.

    In all seriousness though, even as someone with a hay fever I think having lower general pollution is good as your membranes are just slightly less stressed to begin with.

    Obviously that doesn't help when everything is in full bloom and you start to see layers of pollen on cars etc.

  • Yeah - I thought it was a bit overreaching... "We're all in it together at this difficult time...". It read like they were more triggered with the chance of successful control freakery tbh. I didn't notice yesterday was particularly smoggy compared to any weekend last year but obviously I'm not sensitive to it.

    Maybe I'm wrong and it's a reasonable request.
