    Have they proven that those micro-doplets infected anyone?

    *Legs it*

    There was a good article posted here a while ago- showed a bus, an office and a restaurant, and where people were sitting and who got infected. I can’t seem to find it now but i recall the three tables in a row on the same air circulation “path” were mainly affected, and bus infected were everywhere (not within two metres). I presume this research supports the assumptions that it was travelling in the air / circulation systems in those cases.

    Truly depressing stuff

    Do you have a link that says the saliva tests are "just as accurate" as you put it?

    As with everything Covid there are lots of conflicting evidence.

    The vast majority of people on thread are quoting from articles they have read. None of us are experts. We are relying on reports in the media to a large extent on these matters.

    In the early segment which isn't about pubs I might add, they've completely skimmed over what the CMO said today regarding these cases being as a result of clusters and the tracing of said clusters.

    Asking the question maybe they're part of cases the tracing system found.

    He bloody answered that himself earlier.

    Think I saw that, was in China I seem to remember. You wouldn’t want to get your knickers in a twist about these things. Else you’ll never leave the front door. The media love that kind of sensational scenario recreation.

    So, in my state, the governor has decided to move away from blanket closures and phases of reopening. Instead any establishment that isn't enforcing masking and social distancing rules will be shut down and this will be policed and enforced. People not wearing masks will be fined. I think this is a much better approach and can still be successful at suppressing the virus. better than crippling entire industries and putting a load of people out of work.

    This virus is here to stay, we need to learn to function alongside it. Locking down at the first sign of an increase isn't the answer IMO. That was a one shot type thing and it didnt work.

    We've moved beyond reasonable doubt.
    Peer reviewed and approved.
    Put simply the super spreading events could not be logically explained
    by solely droplets.

    https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1283668758884581377.html

    No need to leg it. Just wear a mask in inclosed spaces with people where distance and ventilation can't be guaranteed.

    Ireland is so windy it's easy to mitigate against this in most houses.
    Open a window on opposite sides of the house and feel the air changes.
    Much harder to do in places with little no wind.

    I thinking out loud about schools etc. Might get chilly but reduces risk massively.

    RTE suckled off the Irish taxpayer for decades, they’re more like Pravda than any sort of commercially sound media organization. Businesses standing on their own two feet and making a profit from competent service are alien concepts in Montrose. Place should have been sold off and bulldozed decades ago.

    And, look at the detail behind these cases before you head for the bunker.

    This is probably the safest way to proceed. It’s very clear that you can follow the rules and return to some form of normality. It also doesn’t punish some businesses for the inaction of others that happen to be in the same industry. If this goes on for a long time, it’ll happen naturally as people will probably support the places they feel safer. But blanket “all pubs closed” or even the earlier “no hardware stores open” type rules are unsustainable.

    Which state are you in?

    I think we need some tough measures over here as well.

    The National broadcaster are not enforcing anything. They are reporting on a situation of critical national interest and importance. As is their remit. They are doing their job. To be applauded not criticized. Long may it continue.

    Here's the link. Very nice explanation and visualisation of how it has spread and the variables at play.

    Is this the piece with the diagram of the bus in China where the distance of infection was 5 metres rather than the usual 2 metres.
