This article which quotes a study suggests ventilation is a good way of reducing the chance of infection. If you?ve got children at school I?d suggest asking the headteacher about opening (and keeping open) windows, even if it?s chilly.

I?ve not seen any windows open at a couple of schools I?ve passed today. I know fewer pupils are there as it?s the holidays but it?s still valid to want to reduce the chance of catching or passing on Covid (and flu, etc.).

What an excellent link Nigello - explains the spread of coronavirus so well in confined space. Shame we were not bombarded with this through public information channels back in July when we were starting to congregate again. Well the good news is that we shouldn't be so worried in outdoor contact. (The attachment and graphics shows the spread of aerosols in doors, its been compared to an un-ventilated room filling up with cigarette smoke).


Scottish government and a teaching union have put out advice about ventilation in schools. Ah just found the national advice https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/actions-for-schools-during-the-coronavirus-outbreak/guidance-for-full-opening-schools This includes a whole section on ventilation and a reference to further health and safety advice - the maintaining a comfortable working temperature will no doubt be covered (I can see kids sitting wearing snow suits with howling gales around them...)


The tube and train network are making a big thing about clean air, not sure about the buses, I'd be tempted to open all the windows, most of us have sat in a bus on a wet days with the windows all steamed up.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
