We were caught out on the heavy rain as well this morning.Never mind UV, daylight was at a premium when I was walking the Chase in the pouring rain this morning.
Going back out again in a few minutes and things don't seem much better.
They were lucky hubby was further back ,as I'd marched off ahead with him walking slower than me. He's given a couple of groups both barrels this week on our nightly walks over there when they've failed to get over even the slightest little bit, even when requested to nicely.I meet people like that all the time on the Chase (although they are very much in a minority of users overall). Like you say, they are mainly in the over 60 category of user.
I no longer have any tolerance for people like that now and give them both barrels. I fail to see any reason why I should keep quiet about others thoughtlesness or total disregard for others in the current circumstances. They then get very offended by my attitude, which results in them getting another two barrels. I don't suppose it achieves much but at least I get some satisfaction that I didn't meekly roll over and accept it.
Rude.Chinese takeaway for t. Only 2 allowed in the shop at any time. 2 people had ordered then decided to wait inside while there was a queue of 3 outside!
True, and some of it is more deadly than covid.
I can't believe I miss May!
ultraviolet radiation is present even on cloudy overcast days and being outdoors any virus load is very quickly diluted out of existence as ventilation is excellent.
My research shows only UVC destroys organic matter, its how I keep my fish pond green. There is a small amount of this in sunlight, but the rest of sunlight helps most organisms flourish.Natural UV kills 90% of covid within 6 to 15 minutes dependant on intensity so benches gates etc should be fairly safe to touch. Outdoor ventilation will remove airbornes well before that time anyway though in a matter of seconds. Outdoor risk is very low compared to indoors with windows and doors closed. In cool dark locations devoid of natural light covid has been demonstrated to survive outside the body for upto 28 days.
Reading the first one, it kills it in dried samples on stainless steel media in the equivalent of the height of the summer solstice in southern Portugal.

When we had blocked drains Severn Trent decided to flush the pipes and basically pump effluent into my back garden. ‘Don’t worry the UV will kill any germs’ they said. Err no, get someone round to clean up with disinfectant!Are you related to Donald Trump?
What is your logic in assuming "natural" UV kills Corona virus and if it does why is the virus so prevalent in countries that have high levels of UV?
My understanding was that it is only UVC that kills off genetic material but it is filtered out by the ozone layer.
I think I shall continue to stay apart from people and chastise those that don't until we get a proven way to beat the virus.
The Zoe app has this graph which is a bit worrying looking at the steep increase in just two or three days!!

Where do you access that graph as I can only seem to find the local map of case rates?
