Corona Virus

In a sense yes, @Tallpaul. It has to do with aerosolization and particle size.

Those are terrific graphics, @Helmut Visor, especially the 2nd one. Thanks for posting!

 

Thank you.

 

You're welcome, Tallpaul.

 

Good to read some of the science behind it all.

 

Friend of mine from Brighton said he was going to visit his mother in Nottingham. I said 'Why don't you come via us?'. Haven't heard from him since.

 

Erin Bromage has a blog that I have found very helpful. He explains the science in clear, concise, and practical ways. I've posted this link previously but here it is again for easy access.

Yep seen that earlier today. A very worrying development.

 

We've got mink farms with infected animals...

 

Old news.

Got to keep us scared, though.

 

It'll be entertaining to see all the ways people make their pets wear masks.

 

We gassed the mink farms.

 

Is the fur still good?

 

Yep.

 

The source or the animals?

It's the first UK cat, but not the first story in the UK media.

Nice.

 

“Scared” Is one way to put it. I would reframe it as “informed”. People’s emotional response to the same information varies.

 

About the same here, I think.
