My commuting route is just as busy as the roads 🤣

But the road is not lined with Corona Virus and being picked up by tyres and flicked onto you.

Had a mail from polaris promoting a pandemic sale.
Not sure which self regarding marketing whizz (mails come from hannah) is in charge these days but seem to remember them doing another dodgy promo a while ago - i posted it here.
Tempted to ask them if their often nifty designs will allow their bike luggage and bags to convert to body bags for elderly relatives.

My guess is the chances of catching Coronavirus are the same as catching any other type of flu
Coronavirus isn't flu

As for chances of catching it, look at the R0 number.
Seasonal flu: 1.3
Covid-19: estimated between 1.4 and 4.0

More numbers over at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

In the report it says the police also nabbed a motorist for being out and about for no valid reason.
so it does.
I must admit the bicycle thing strikes me as somewhat over the top.
I suppose it avoids the police having to figure out if you are interacting with anyone from another comune.

Apparently, the chinese are close to produce a vaccin for it. It should be ready in April but then how long before it is available to the rest of the world?
