Okay, the garden spray thing!! but in most local public swimming pools one is supposed to walk through a shower room, why not out there. Also if we are supposed to have a handle on this outbreak why have we had a returning nurse in a critical condition in the London free Hospital , She had her temp taken 7 times ??? why is this standard?
Surely the lass must have had a hint she was felling unwell?? Did her professional training dip because she wanted to get home for Christmas. I trust she will make a full recovery, but how many others have been put at risk. I do not pretend to know anything about how this illness is spread. I do know this though having travelled a lot all over the world by air and sea, someone on a plane with 300 people onboard has a cold/flu sneezes an awful lot of folk will catch something or other while on the that flight.
As a seafarer used to doing long voyages as in times between ports we as a ships crew were always vunerable when we docked. Usually from either a new crew member joining the ship or from shore side staff attending the vessel, if they had a cold or flu and sneezed it as a rule would go through the ships company in short order. Reason was we normally lived in a virus free enviroment. When a vessel arrives in port (oil/gas tankers) one of the first things that happens ids the Air Con is put on recirc. This is to protect the crew in case there is a gas leak / and or toxic type gasses from the cargo being loaded or discharged , but the fact it is on recirc also leads to the likely hood a virus if brought onboard will infect a few within the ships company who may not have a decent immune system, especially those who make have been on for months
