RE: Own up....26 Mar 2020 16:59
I had a wry smile to myself as i read the notice on a Wetherspoons window prior to the enforced closure of all pubs, clubs etc. They initially intended to stay open but with adding layers of hygiene and sanitisation measures for the benefit of staff and patrons alike. Erm, one of such measures was that the front doors would be wedged open during working hours to ensure extra ventilation. This would've been potentially dangerous if not catastrophic as anyone infected by the Coronavirus just by inadvertently coughing or sneezing (without using tissue especially) at the front door in a breeze would've resulted in airborne vectors of contamination being dispersed into a rather large vacuous space full of unwitting diners/drinkers. Sense prevailed before damage was done thankfully. Somebody thought that up as a good idea to put into practice as well, DOH!. PS, in my previous incarnation as an employed person i worked in multiple quarantine, isolated environment, Cat 3 containment areas (dealing with nasties) using the full space suit shebang type PPE including independently powered ventilated helmet. Shower in, shower out. Room at negative pressure to prevent pathogens etc escaping outward. Multi filtered ventilation exhaust. Waste and sharps double bagged for routine incineration uplifted by specialist contractors. I think we'll get a vaccine developed quickly. Need, combined with collective will (of the powerful and rich) should see a rapid improvement in prospects for all. I'd like to say the same for SOU but although invested the jury is still out imo. But i hope for the best. Good health and GLA. :o).
