None at all whenever I go but to be fair, I'm not usually out before about 4pm. I'd probably have more luck if I went early. I really want brownies. My wife made some last week (hummingbird recipe) and they were so good... But that was using the last 2 eggs :bawling:.

4pm is too late you need to go early, I have been around noon and the crate is nearly empty

Just a heads up people

If you get a text from the Dept of Health saying not to eat canned
Pork as it has Covid 19 in it. Please ignore it

Spoiler:

Its SPAM

Pity you risk your life every time you go shopping or venture into buildings with others .

( the virus particles can stay in the air for up to three HOURS - meaning the two metre rule helps but it’s by no means a guarantee you won’t pick up the virus )

You're talking about it's survivability in aerosolised form, which only occurs under very specific conditions. e.g. pressurised medical environments. It doesn't happen in shops.

This is why newspapers need to be careful when reporting on scientific papers. Don't assume that the journalist writing the article has any idea what he's reading.

Today I managed to find some eggs :amazed:

I might wander to the local co-op early tomorrow and try to find some. Having no luck on my supermarket sweeps.

I got them from the Indian shops near my house :laugh:

user104658 01-04-2020 08:21 PM

If worst comes to worst there are tonnes of farms nearby, I might just go and try to get some at source :joker:.

Please expand on your pressurised environments and the term ‘aerosolised form ‘ ..

The studies don’t seem to be as specific as you ..

Aerosolised form basically means it's been turned into micro-droplets and dispersed in a "very fine mist" form, that can happen in certain medical settings. It doesn't happen with a cough, sneeze, in breath... there's no real risk of aerosolised droplets being in a shop etc.

Also, essentially, both of your big fears can't be true at the same time. If Covid was hanging around in the air all over the place for hours, then the infection rates by this point would be massive - if they ARE massive, then the mortality %age risk is actually tiny. If the mortality risk is as high as you fear it is (5%+) then it's impossible for the virus to be truly airborne, as the death numbers would be higher.

Anyway, have had a google and the only really readable info is from the WHO itself. The rest is actual papers and extremely jargon-filled.

Airborne transmission is different from droplet transmission as it refers to the presence of microbes within droplet nuclei, which are generally considered to be particles <5μm in diameter, can remain in the air for long periods of time and be transmitted to others over distances greater than 1 m.


In the context of COVID-19, airborne transmission may be possible in specific circumstances and settings in which procedures or support treatments that generate aerosols are performed; i.e., endotracheal intubation, bronchoscopy, open suctioning, administration of nebulized treatment, manual ventilation before intubation, turning the patient to the prone position, disconnecting the patient from the ventilator, non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation, tracheostomy, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

That's a WHO scientific brief from the 29th of March (the article you posted is from the 11th). I do remember reading the info on aerosolization probably around the 15th-20th but can't find the specific things I read at the time.

I went to morrybobs at 6.30pm and they had tons of eggs it shuts at 8pm.

Liam- 01-04-2020 08:57 PM

We’re getting our eggs from the local fruit and veg shop, they have plenty :hee:

Denver 01-04-2020 09:00 PM
