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.

    • I understand that, but I can't really grasp how it works in practice, but never mind 😵‍💫
    • It's local independent shops supporting one another.
    • Adding my recommendation for Niko too. Found his number on here and he came out at short notice on a busy weeknight to help us with a kitchen sink issue that had flooded our kitchen that day. Really helpful, responsive and went out of his way to fit us in and help us out. Very reasonably priced too - would thoroughly recommend!
    • Looks like it! Though according to the OP, they are "golden, hand-crimped parcels  packed with flavour" 😀 I don't understand. Admittedly my brain is functioning at a very low level at the moment. Does that mean various local shops get together and agree to offer a discount to anyone who shows them a receipt from one of the other ones dated the same day? I can't see what's in it for either of them, unless people shop somewhere they wouldn't otherwise have done just to get the discount. Is it for vaguely  linked things, say cheese from a cheese shop, wine from another shop? Showing my age there.  And then suppose it's always the same shop which people go to second to get the discount? What's in it for the first shop? People go there in order to get the discount in the second shop?
