Hi Peter.
Please explain how walking alone in Miners Marsh, where there
is ample room for social distancing, can endanger anyone.
And by the way; at 85 I would not welcome getting Covid-19 nor do I
imagine that I am immune. And to top it off, sidewalks, unless they are
one way, commonly do not permit a spacing of 6'. And which is
preferable; walking on sidewalks to get exercise or walking alone or at
a minimum distance of 6' in a park ?
This all reminds me of the MSDS flaps. When I read the one for
Boiled Linseed oil I noticed that they had omitted the very real hazard
of spontaneous combustion. When the revised version came out the
directions were to immerse the material that has Boiled Linseed Oil in a
metal can filled with water, secure the lid and store it outside; no
kidding.
And further, it is very bad manners to wish ill on someone who is
simply on the side of common sense, rational caution and good health.
Keeping people cooped up is not conducive to good mental health or good
physical health.
