An autistic friend just sent me this, people on the spectrum often see things in a different way. Thought I'd share

Was wondering the same as you - found this below have not read the whole thing just the abstract but it looks like a distinct possibility that even a person's breathe can carry the virus and when you consider how far cigarette smoke travels so much for any 2 metre isolation zone.

Abstract
Droplets carried in exhaled breath may carry microorganisms capable of transmitting disease over both short and long distances. The size distribution of such droplets will influence the type of organisms that may be carried as well as strategies for controlling airborne infection. The aim of this study was to characterize the size distribution of droplets exhaled by healthy individuals. Exhaled droplets from human subjects performing four respiratory actions (mouth breathing, nose breathing, coughing, talking) were measured by both an optical particle counter (OPC) and an analytical transmission electron microscope (AEM). The OPC indicated a preponderance of particles less than 1 μ, although larger particles were also found. Measurements with the AEM confirmed the existence of larger sized droplets in the exhaled breath. In general, coughing produced the largest droplet concentrations and nose breathing the least, although considerable intersubject variability was observed.
Hello again everyone. Forgot to tell my True story.
Listening to radio in car last Tuesday, worrying about virus at my destination, Asda, when on came a radio ad.
"Why not enjoy freshly-brewed tea and delicious cakes at the newly refurbished "Friends Cafe" at the (local) General Hospital?"
Someone is crazy. This isn't funny.
Hi All
Well I found myself in a hospital and a pharmacy today a very long way from home. Friend woke up with badly oozing wound so after a few phone calls and packing a food bag we set off for the 4 hour round trip. As suspected slight infection and antibiotics prescribed along with stash of paracetemol and codeine. Then I was dropped in the middle of Hastings to go to Boots where I waited 20 mins for meds. They were policing the door and only allowing a few people in at a time and it was a big shop. Clutching my Dettox wipes I watched as the pharmacist blew his nose into a tissue binned it and made no effort to wash or sanitise his hands, carried on dispensing meds. Maybe I should have said something but he was a very unfriendly fella. While I was paying contactless he pushed the hand sanitiser on the counter but it was too late for me. Back home and all exhausted. Cooking turkey crown and sprouts for later. Need prayers, we are back there in a week.

I am lost for words - you would not expect a pharmacist to behave like that.I watched as the pharmacist blew his nose into a tissue binned it and made no effort to wash or sanitise his hands, carried on dispensing meds
Loads of hugs for you @PenguinMumHi All

Actually I wasn't lost for words - it was just that they weren't the sort of words you could post on this forum.I watched as the pharmacist blew his nose into a tissue binned it and made no effort to wash or sanitise his hands, carried on dispensing meds
Thanks and to @DJC3 @SaskiaKC and @gennepher. it was surreal and he was standing right next to the sink at the time. I really should have told him, bad on me, I am ashamed. I am not going to have fisty cuffs in the supermarket, not planning to go there, but health “ professional” doing that I need to up my game. I have needed distraction of videos of son’s 8 week old new kitten and tonight’s Turkey & Sprout dinner!Actually I wasn't lost for words - it was just that they weren't the sort of words you could post on this forum.
I think we need the distraction too... Got any cute pictures?I have needed distraction of videos of son’s 8 week old new kitten
Don't be ashamed of yourself @PenguinMumThanks and to @DJC3 @SaskiaKC and @gennepher. it was surreal and he was standing right next to the sink at the time.
