thinking about it, a lot of the deaths are elderly in care homes, elderly at home maybe not going out much. bus drivers loads of hours again probably not in the fresh air much, same for nurses/ doctors working 60/80 hours a week no time for fresh air, taxi drivers the same, might be something in that.

Well, plenty of studies suggesting the chances of catching covid outdoors are very small compared with the chances of catching it indoors, so there's that. Estimates I've seen of percentage of infections that occur indoors have varied from 90% to 99.9%. Seems to be very little discussion of it though, in particular about how this could be used to everyone's advantage. I think there was one daily briefing I saw a week or two back where Whitty talked about this and he's obviously seen the same studies. I remember him saying that the chance of catching it outside is not zero which he is correct about (but it's not far off)

Agree,meat packing processors in Ireland are where the latest clusters are. To be honest i am not sure whether it is the factory or possibly foreign workers living in close quarters and bringing it in. That seems to be borne out with cases of Roma also in Ireland.
Believe dorms for migrant workers in the Far East are also hotspots. |

I remember early advice was to keep a window open and a constant circulation of fresh air was best and would lower risk of infection.

if we assume people arnt coughing,sneezing directly into peoples faces,isnt it fair to assume their picking it up of hard surfaces,does it matter if the surfaces are in or out of doors,you,d think most were either in doors or on door,s,stairs etc on the way inside
you,d think by now there,d be evidence/stats on where/how people are picking it up,it been airborne was against suggested by some scientists yersterday |

Vitamin D from the sun is the 'open air' that has the magic touch
 that's why the virus didn't go so crazy south of Madrid ,Barcelona and Milan types of work like nursing ,taxi driving probably has a greater effect for catching the virus though |

developed countries south of 40 latitude got pretty much left alone ...Sydney ,Auckland, Athens , Miami
even LA is pretty quiet considering the homeless population there |
