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.

    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
