Most people do not ask questions even on matters that concern them. Some have no idea what is going on. A few will probe and ask why, either to satisfy their curiosity or want to find out more in order to pursue their subject further.
In my case, I ask not only why but also why not. Very often, my thought process is similar to an atomic chain reaction.
On several occasions I can’t control my thoughts and ideas. They keep pouring out automatically and unconsciously. I have no epidemiology and medical training, but my knowledge in science and other disciplines, plus my logic mind enable me to postulate children possessing certain immunity and being super spreaders.
The presence of an infected person or persons in an enclosed area and confined space with poor insufficient air circulation, the virus population can only increase in the air or on objects touched by the infected. When I meet someone in the open, I try to social distance at a distance further than recommended whenever possible, and with a mask on. I try NOT to face each other, but stand next to the person, or perpendicular to the person. In addition, I shall also ask the person to stand in a more sheltered spot on windy day, and stand sideway so any aerosol is blown away, not in the face on either party.
I have seen shoppers going extra lengths to take precaution in wiping down the trolleys or shopping baskets at larger supermarkets, but when they go to smaller stores or “farms” selling fruit and vegetables, all the precautions are forgotten.
Anyone can be infected unknowingly, because there are asymptomatic carriers out there. It is important that even when dealing with people you know well, like family members, do not assume they are completely innocent; whho they have met or encountered may not be 100% virus free. We must not be over paranoid or we will die of fear or depression. However, observing basic hygiene rules and logic of air circulation and air flow can minimise getting infected.
