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.

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

Yes you might as well
as many Farmers can not Import
Seasonal Workers.

Farmers can not get UK workers

We could ask those on Job Seekers Allowance to do it?

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

[Liam-]

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

[Denver]

I brought hens to make eggs

[smudgie]

Managed to get a Morrybobs click and collect for the 22nd.
Son and daughter in law will pick it up for us and pop it in the porch.
It’s a few miles away but the nearest one that does it.

One thing I am good at is shopping...but it’s getting more difficult to book slots now.
Most of them were booked last month.

[Denver]

went to do my weekly Asda shop just had to queue 40 mins to get in but they had everything i even managed to get a tub of hand sanitizer (even if only a small jar but i wont complain after weeks of struggle)

I even got Ł5 off as i used the self scanners and the system went down but the ladies were really nice and let me go front of customer service queue to get them scanned there.

[Nicky91]

we have enough toilet paper, hand sanitizer, shower gel, shampoo now

we got a nice filled up storage shed now

[Liam-]

Went to my local Tesco express this morning, only a small shop, had to queue for a few minutes to get in but they were pretty well stocked, they had 3 item limits on a lot of things, got all the essentials though, the cashiers having spit guards on the tils span my head a little bit

[Cherie]

Walked straight into M and S yesterday...no queue

Queued for 25 minutes at Sainsbury’s even though the queue was twice that of the previous week but took same amount of time to get in...prob because they stopped people shopping in couples ...everything back to normal...a wall of TP and kitchen roll, pasta and flour

While we were in the queue a couple arrived she was heavily pregnant, they told the security guy that they had something on order from Argos and asked if they had to queue, she let them in 10 minutes she came out with a small item...no sign of him so I expect he was inside shopping with a basket
