Undermined whenever experts talk about tiny vapour droplets suspended in the air, probably blown out around the edges of the face covering.
I say undermined, I mean the fact that it's not 100% effective is used as an excuse to not even make an effort to partially reduce the risk.

I read a thingy on the Beeb about how it spreads indoors. Not saying those claims are entirely correct, but, it made me think a bit.
Like... we can test for it in aircons. And, whilst good airflow is helpful... if the dude with Cov19 sits next to the window, not so much.
Five ways to avoid catching the virus indoors (BBC News).
I've kept my patio doors open most of the day for the last couple of months. That's not gonna be comfortable over the colder months though.

Hopefully we can push the second wave back all the way to November/December
when the cold weather will allow the virus to live longer, no one will want fresh air circulating, and that combined with winter flu can totally overwhelm the NHS. Better start preparing to de-mothball those Nightingales.
