Just got back from a Tesco visit. A guy about 10 places in front of me in the entry queue was exhaling visible vapour, but no-one else was. I thought at first he was smoking/vaping, but no. Wonder if he had a fever? Whatever, I was careful to keep well away from him in the shop!

Never gave it much consideration before this caper but, with my daily furloughed wanderings, I have noticed the distance that dope fumes travel.
Must be fifty yards or more (emanating from the occasional boy racer mobile, noisily making its way past me).
Would the 'rona be able to float along on the cloud of potness, I wonder?

"With the pandemic bearing down, Boris Johnson on March 17 called on Britain’s captains of industry to start building ventilators to supplement the country’s stock of 8,000, lightheartedly dubbing the scheme “Operation Last Gasp”. But almost a week before the prime minister spoke, Germany had ordered 10,000 from an established manufacturer, adding to its existing 20,000 machines.
This week Germany had more than twice as many critical care beds vacant — around 15,000 to 20,000 — as England has in its system overall.
Even more stark is relative performance on testing. The UK and Germany entered the crisis in lock-step, working together on virus tests, some of the first developed in the world. But Germany’s labs ran at more than five-times the NHS rate, completing 918,460 tests versus Britain’s 163,194."
"But Berlin’s strategy has nevertheless held up an unforgiving mirror to Britain’s government. This is not just with regard to NHS capacity — tuned more for resource efficiency than resilience — but the quality and pace of decision making.
The charge: that Britain’s strategy twisted and turned, squandering precious time.
“It just wasn't consistent. They tested various strategies and rejected them,” said Martin Stuermer, a virologist at IMD Labor in Frankfurt. “They had this plan to allow life to go on but ensure that elderly people were protected. But then they abandoned that.
And they weren't prepared for mass testing. but the main problem was that the government just didn't chart a clear course in this crisis — unlike the German government.”

I see that the home testing kits are only about 50-60% accurate so won't be made available.
