Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Coronavirus / Corona Virus

We continually see politicians and other notables who give TV interviews, press conferences, etc. without wearing masks and without keeping distance one from the other. Other than the fact that it does not give a good example to the people they are telling to wear masks (us) it is also placing themselves at risk. Boris Johnson has now given us a good example of what can happen to a leader who does not take appropriate precautions.

If you want to imagine just how far the virus can spread in a closed room think of the last time you entered a room where someone was smoking, If you were close enough to get the smoke in you nose you were close enough to get the virus, and that can be far more than 2 metres.

Even when people are wearing masks you often see that they are wearing them incorrectly. Despite being continually told that the mask must cover mouth and nose you often see people, who obviously find wearing a mask restricts their breathing, wearing the mask under their nose. That does not protect anyone, neither them nor me.
