If you want to know what 10 years of accumulated grime minus 10 years of the cleaning effect of just using something, and rubbing away the grime, looks like, look at a 10 year old bus that hasn't been used since February. :)

I can smell the mould... are those mushrooms growing on the back seat?

An issue with socially distanced seating is people are being forced to sit in the same seat as everyone else... Just use the car.

--- Quote ---Assuming you're right that most people think masks are mostly to protect the wearer, how is that a bad thing?
--- End quote ---

Because then you get people feeling fully justified in saying they're prepared to risk catching whatever because they just don't like masks, can't breathe, makes them look girly, whatever.

I was nieve. I didn't think people could be that stupid. Even so, any fool should be able to see that if they catch it, they'll probably be fine, but the poor old sod they infect might not be so lucky. Unfortunately we need to have laws to protect people from their own stupidity: seatbelts being a prime example.

When I was child I took the bus to school. Before I got off, many of my peers would whack the bus seats, which would fill the bus with dust, smelling of vomit and stale cigarette smoke. I remember the driver complaining on one occasion and a child told him to clean the bloody bus, if he didn't like it.

The school bus used to have a thick layer of mould growing on the rubber window seals, which weren't replaced, when they perished. My brother and sister used to play corners which involved moving next to the window, when the bus went round a corner. One day a window fell out. Fortunately no one was hurt, especially as this was on the top deck.

This is British school buildings and equipment in a nutshell. They spend lots acquiring and building them, but think they need no budget for upkeep.

--- Quote ---should wear a visor, which provides more COVID-19 protection than a surgical mask
--- End quote ---

I noticed that many people wear these visors instead of masks, often at an angle such that it barely comes level with their chin, and wonder how on earth that's providing any protection for the wearer or whoever they are projectile-breathing at. Can you explain?

Yes, it's bollocks:

--- Quote ---A health department in Switzerland is now warning against wearing plastic face shields without a mask after a recent outbreak in which those wearing only shields were infected with coronavirus, while people wearing masks were fine.
