Indeed Ian.
As I've posted elsewhere, the science is clear:
social distancing with IMMEDIATE effect is critical if we are not to overwhelm our emergency services. This is not for the healthy amongst us who will catch COVID-19 and shrug it off; it's for the many thousands of elderly, weak, and vulnerable who will die because we exceed respirator and critical care capacity in the short and medium terms. I wish I was exaggerating.
Long readShort readMake no mistake: this is seriously inconvenient. I'm stopping going to my climbing gym, which I really don't want to do. But collectively we ALL have to do this kind of thing.
Don't bury your head in the sand.
Oh, and wash your hands. Lots.
