I do wonder how some people ever leave home they seem so lacking in common sense and very risk averse, life is a risk from the day you are born and meant for living, lets all get on with the living part.

Some of us stay home because we have common sense and are totally risk averse. There are risks in life from the day you are born but if you don't want to fall off a mountain you don't have to climb one!

Quite so Bob, I would say that is total common sense. Yes there are risks in everyday life, but some risks are necessary and others are totally unnecessary. Why take unnecessary risks? Life is indeed for living and I have no problem with that. It's dying I have a problem with.

I don't rely on any rules or policies as is noted a lot of folk don't adhere to them. I use my own judgement and common sense. If a shop or restaurant or other establishment looks too busy I don't go in. I keep my distance as far as I can from others, wash my hands, wear a mask where I should and sanitise. I've been double jabbed. I reckon I do what I can and understand that there will always be risks. But I don't want to be locked up. It is a fine balancing act.

Why worry about whether sites have Covid restrictions in place? We are on holiday and sometimes have a meal out. When the barman pours the drink he is holding the beer glass at the top. He then lifts it with his bare hands to place on the tray.   The waiter brings the glasses on a tray and then use their hands to lift the glass off the tray to put onto the table. Same happens with food etc.

The evidence is that the virus is spread by aerosols (very fine droplets) in the air, in enclosed less well ventilated indoor spaces. I don’t think surfaces are now considered a significant transmission (who still washes their carrier bags in a bleach solution?) - but good hand hygiene has reduced other problems like food poisoning.
We have to learn to live with Covid, like flu and measles. Until everyone is double vaccinated, I may continue to double mask indoors for my own peace of mind.
But what really saddens me is that some people are now too frightened to hug. We humans need touch. That first hug with a good friend last week was so heartwarming, we couldn’t stop laughing. And that felt good.

One thing that has really stuck in my craw re masks is the non compliance in supermarkets.

Over here in France there are quite simply no exceptions, you don’t see anyone in any establishment without a mask on.

I’m glad to hear though that the mask thing, will at some point in the near future, be left up to the individual.
