Five ways to avoid catching Covid indoors

This is no problem for a quick visit but may be a risk over a period of hours.One customer was "pre-symptomatic" - in other words, he was infected but did not realise because he had yet to develop symptoms.

You're relying on a ventilation system in which stale air is extracted from the rooms and piped to an air handling unit, often on the roof.There, fresh air can be pulled in from outside and mixed with the old inside air, before being sent back into the building."Having 100% outside air or close to 100% is a good thing," says Prof Cath Noakes of the University of Leeds and chair of the environmental panel of the government's SAGE advisers, speaking in a personal capacity.

The drawback to running 100% fresh air is the cost - the incoming air has to be heated in winter and cooled in summer, all of which requires energy.A modern ventilation system will have filters but these are not fool-proof. In South Korea, a call centre on the 11th floor of an office building saw one person infect more than 90 others.

I have been so strict with rules managing to avoid the virus from the beginning. Got my vaccine and went out for the first time in 2years. Week later im nursing myself from Covid. Never been so ill in all my life but its Day 5 now and im starting to feel better.

No1 turn of the MSM

What's wrong with catching Covid?

I asked the Duty Manager in Wetherspoons about the ‘fresh air ratio’ in the pub and if they had checked the filter in the air con for covid. He told me to fuck off. Oh well 🙄

I notice the daily infection rates jumped by 10,000 in a day. Approx 27,000 to 37,000 it’s obviously still all over the place. Opened up too soon.

bloody nonsense - whats happened to the 'climate emergency?' whats going on in Afghan - no one cares about this anymore ....the agenda has moved on

Never leave your home, wear paper bags over your heads. Have everything delivered & let it sit in the sun for days. Don't let anyone in the house other than those who live there. Watch CNN 24/7 to keep the fear of nonlethal viruses strong.

Only 18 months late...

1. Don't worry about it and get on with your life. 2. Don't listen to the MSM. 3. Anyone under 85 is safe. 4. Don't let the scare you. 5. It's all over.

Hide behind your sofa 😂

Be a Tory mp apparently

Covid is now like flu get a vaccine and get on with our lives ffs

Remain behind the sofa alone sh&^ing yourself for eternity.

I think I would rather catch it and either build up immunity to it or move on to the next world than live in fear of it.

The Tory overlords don't want the major one listed: avoid being in a room with a lot of people or a long time in a room with untested people.

Simple. Only go indoors with people in your bubble. If you have to to indoors for essentials, wear a mask and keep your distance.

Lock the doors?

Wear a mask, simple

Oh just stop with your crap

Go and hide under the stairs with the lights off and your mask on……

must have missed the part about wearing a fucking mask

Contact your local Karen?

Shut Up !!!

1) Don't go indoors.

when to puxton oark 400+ rammed in soft play no masks or social distance so i really think people are over the scare mongering now

Is number 6 something about living in a BBC world of perfect, happy, smiley, mixed race, gender nonspecific relationships?

Financial news - BBC increases its share holding in Covid !
