Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

i actually turn off once they get to questions. I think it will come to the point when no press can actually ask questions.

How the two experts manage to contain themselves in the face of such stupidity is beyond me. It's as if the reporters just like the sound of their own voice. At least Preston wasn't there gargling away for 5 mins.
 
Forgive the question as I didn’t catch the briefing today. However, most of the questions I’ve heard recently weren’t about when the lockdown would end, but what it would look like when the end began (dreadfully structured sentence, but I hope you know what I mean).

I’d be interested to know if there’s a plan in place when the lockdown begins to be lifted. Will it be certain shops and restaurants, but not pubs and gyms etc? Will it be a sudden lift followed by everyone partying like it’s 1999?

I was thinking much the same, but if everyone has been in isolation for 4 weeks they should be virus free :confused:

In a multi occupancy, multi generational household (of which we have many, especially in the big cities) it can easily take over 4 weeks to work its way through. And that's without any interaction with the outside world (which there obviously is). The current policy might reduce spread, but if it carried on till next year I don't suppose the virus would go away unless it ran out of people to infect.

Your Laura Kunsberg and I claim my 50p. If you had seen it you'd know what I mean.

No plans yet however Ski Touring has opened up in Austria and one glacier resort opened up in Norway. :love:

I'd be surprised if we deviated far from the various approaches being rolled out on the continent at the moment.

Does that mean huts are open, or just for day tours?

I presume the huts but they are getting some flak from France and Italy who think it could take import emergency resources away from where it's needed. Picked it up on the Ski Chat Forum.

Why? Am I in charge now?

To be honest, you’ve managed obnoxious and facetious in one 4 word answer. That must be a forum record ?

Wow! Talk about prejudging based on a previous experience. Maybe I'm just a bit too gullible but I took it at face value.

You took “Jeepers” at face value? Really?

Ok. If Brian says that his question was 100% sincere then I’ll apologise. I know he’s not a liar.

Despite causing outrage on another thread, I have to say that I wouldn't be in a rush to go touring. Huts are a breeding ground for all sorts of unpleasantness, especially if you get stuck for a few days. But my main worry would be getting half way up an ascent and being slowed down in an exposed spot by a possible onset of breathing difficulties/oxygen deficiency.
Not that I'll be encountering either of these scenarios this season.

So, me and the wife after at least 4 weeks of isolation and social distancing with absolutely no symptoms, we could still be contagious ?
