A really interesting video about the virus, and why it's so effective. [embedded content] I went shopping yesterday and felt my medical mask was a bit flimsy so I put my bike mask over the top as well.

I had gloves on, but everything I touched in the store could potentially have had the virus on. Crikey! So, just the one simple mask when I go shopping next time.
