My thoughts are to try to avoid as much crowds as possible to minimise the need for a mask/gloves. I will use and dispose of masks as needed. Having used the 3M masks with nose bridge seals it is not difficult to get a decent seal. Practice makes perfect. I have some nitrile gloves that are thicker than the thin blue ones. Bought to use for garage or other jobs. They are hugely more durable. Unless badly dirty I wash my hands with them on so gloves get cleaned. Less stress on my hands due to extra washing. As lockdown eases I won’t be hurrying out to people dense areas ( too many dense people!). Any trips will avoid the hotspots like Gower or Pembrokeshire beaches but be inland to some quieter places. Luckily we have a lot to choose from here in West Wales. The Cummings effect is already causing rule stretching/ignoring so risk is higher than it could be.

We are not wearing any protection but avoiding any unnecessary contact and utilising steriwipes entry and exit points, here is the Dorset idea of distancing or the Cummings effect in action yesterday Stupidity personifiedWhen I drove past our local beach of Blackpool Sands they appeared to be acting quite sensibly at the time. Stay safe out there boys and girls.

What’s the point of having anti-bacterial sprays/ wipes - Covid is a VIRUS so anti bacterial stuff has no effect on it!!!!!!
Exactly. The two best ways to nuke the virus is to use a wipe impregnated with methylated spirit, or bleach. Both destroy the lipid membrane and disrupt the RNA. Anti bacterial wipes kill bacteria. But so do bleach and meths. This is my home made spray, one bottle of B@Q Meths, about £2.00 and the spray head from a deicer bottle. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/05/31/Anti-Bacterial-Spray.jpg) Both are not good on skin, they dry skin and can cause "chapped" hands. The Meths spray is rather a fire hazard, atomised meths burns like atomised petrol.....so common sense is needed. Spray it on to an anti-bact wipe, and use that. The smell is a bit off putting too.

Thank you. Now I need to go and change everything in the car.

I find having a shower in Brake and Clutch cleaner quite effective. I once knew a bloke addicted to brake fluid... he said he could stop anytime

Leave the car in the sun for a day, windows shut. The temperature reached will also kill any virus particles.

From next Wednesday we will only be obliged to wear masks when entering closed spaces, shops, supermarkets, etc.
At least that will put an end to the current farce where 50% of the people are either not wearing masks or wearing them under their noses or chins,.

I stopped publishing the official figures from Italy as I have little faith in them and it was all getting a bit boring. None the less there has been a significant drop in the numbers over the last month.

Kickstarter is showing a new toy to help wearing a mask with glasses - I have not tried it but the person is ex-Apple so it will at least look pretty. https://www.kickstarter.com/project...projectcollection-19-staff-picks-popular
