Still foolhardy enough to work?

Follow the advice of Govt... if/when they determine that taxis ought to be displaced that will happen. Familiarise yourself with what HSE know about the virus and how it is spread and you won't be long concluding that a supermarket is a far more dangerous place to be than a car.

Disagree,most supermarkets have markings on the floor and screens at checkouts etc,also if a person coughs in your vicinity you can turn around and walk quickly away from them.

... and what about the produce you're handing, the same produce that is handled item by item by the checkout operator wearing virus infested gloves. Like I said, think about how the virus is spread rather than getting hung up on social distancing. The likelihood of someone being infected and coughing on you and their cough hitting you in one or both of your eyes, in your mouth or up your nose is rather remote compared to the likelihood of it being spread through your produce:

How coronavirus is spread

Coronavirus is spread in sneeze or cough droplets.

You could get the virus if you:

come into close contact with someone who has the virus and is coughing or sneezing

touch surfaces that someone who has the virus has coughed or sneezed on

As it's a new illness, we do not know how easily the virus spreads from person to person. Spread is most likely from those who have symptoms.

The virus may only survive a few hours if someone who has it coughs or sneezes on a surface. Simple household disinfectants can kill the virus on surfaces. Clean the surface first and then use a disinfectant.

Do a job from Tallaght to Dunlaoire with an infected person in your enclosed space and you have it...simple as that.....

A Lady infected with Covid19 traveled from Italy to Northern Ireland through Dublin.
All those sitting beside her tested negative
All those sitting in front and behind her tested negative
all of those ajacent to her tested negative
the cabin crew who attended her tested negative
the taxi driver who took her to connolly station tested negative

There were 2 occasions during last week were I felt vulnerable to the virus
One where a young girl in Tesco followed her dad around with pursed lips trumpeting out a tune for a few minutes spraying everyone and everything around her, another in  Robbie's Deli in Kilmacud when a bearded man coughed into the air close to my vicinity.

I brought a couple from the Airport to Roscommon yesterday and I'm happy that even if one of us were infected we didn't pass that on to each other because of the precautions taken.

You see, it's not as simple as that MMW... unless you know something HSE doesn't:

Protect yourself and others from coronavirus

Coronavirus is spread in sneeze or cough droplets. To infect you, it has to get from an infected person's nose or mouth into your eyes, nose or mouth.

It’s important to wash your hands properly and often.

They'll be shutting down all public amenities soon enough......the cops will need the army to assist....see today's Indo and Times......I'm on the road so can't link up...........we're going on a training camp with Bear Grylls and the Healy-Raes.

The virus is most infectious when ther are no symptoms rat .....because people dont know and dont isolate and are mingling .....at least that was the situation a few weeks ago before all the social distancing was requested ....I put up a link bout it last week

I hope you won't be more smug when ye get back.

Precautions In a taxi ? Where you wearing an aspirator , goggles , Hakeem suit etc

HSE disagree to some extent, Octy. In any event the infected person needs to get their cough/sneeze into your eyes, into your mouth or up your nose either way. That's most likely to happen indirectly i'e by you touching something they sneeze or cough on and subsequently pick your nose or teeth or wipe your eyes.

No, it's not at it's most infectious when there are no symptoms, the problem here is that the carrier and you are likely to believe no virus is present and will happily exchange bodily fluids without precautions'
You should always behave as though you have the virus and do not want to pass it on, if everybody did this we'd all be safer.
Too many, and I feel many on here believe they should protect themselves from others and that their spit, faeces and cum is ambrosia

No I'm not disagreeing with the hse ...infact I totally agree....
I am positive it's mostly spread by touching objects then touching your eyes but the fact of the matter is ....if you are on a confined space within 1 or 2 meters of a person for more than 15 minutes then you are at risk ....that is also hse guidelines....I think ther are a cople on here who are bending the rules so they can justify makin a few bob when they have to realise at some level that they are putting themselves at risk .....wats that phrase that lipp uses ....." cognitive dissonance " I believe
