No unfortunately tractor driving, watching grass grow and drinking whisky, are my somewhat simple hobbies! The essential worker job, interrupts that nirvana!

From the Smithsonian.

Over the past few months, an increasing number of scientists, clinicians, and engineers have called for greater recognition that aerosols, in addition to larger droplets can transmit the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. While the difference is literally miniscule, acknowledging this route of transmission would result in significant changes in how the public can bring an end to the global pandemic. In the near term, it would inform social distancing and mask wearing recommendations from local governments, and in the long term, engineers and architects will need to rethink ventilation and air filtration in the design of everything from schools to cruise ships

I reckon you should give up watching the Grass Growing, it'll ruin you health. Tractor Driving & Scotch ok in moderation.

But you don't always find out from your officials.
"You don't always find out from the experts. It's something you sort of find out by contact with other people."

Sometimes not even then.
What a wise old bloke.

Yep, developed from a mix of cigarettes, whiskey, late nights in dark corners and rat cunning. At least if he is right a mystery will have been solved and we can get on with tracing affected parties and closing this down. If he is wrong, it may have contact tracers chasing shadows.
