Ed-Zulu Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 Conversely, is it that hard to just wear a buff and not give the Karen’s something to Karen about? We can’t moan at people for moaning at us because we are not doing what we should?The Karen quip brings a smile to the face (which you won't be able to see right now cause of my mask). Edit:...and the internet and your location...
SuperDS Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 After going for a walk with the dogs today on the green belts near Groot Constatntia and seeing the staggering amount of people hugging and puffing on bikes and jogging without masks I think I'm going to take a new angle. I'm joining the non mask wearers and I'm going to actively cough as i pass no wearers and see what reaction I get. Honestly there are so many people who are running, jogging and riding bloody hard with masks on I fail to see the issue of actually having on one especially if you're cruising along on an Ebike on flat land! Not wearing one is just saying you really don't give a sh*t about anyone else around you. Did you really think that in good ol' RSA anybody is giving a sh*t about anyone else around them anyway?
Yo-Yo Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 Did you really think that in good ol' RSA anybody is giving a sh*t about anyone else around them anyway? I was holding on to some sense of 'togetherness' and consideration in these times but I guess not. Sadly walking and drinking your coffee with your 4 mates trumps the need to follow protocols. The funny thing about that area is if you're on a bike you can't ride at all fast because it's so busy. You're better off hitting the tarmac, less people by far.
Pieter-za Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 This has not been peer reviewed, but nevertheless it might give an idea of the risk associated to be outside? https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.04.20053058v1 From the PDF The first salient feature of the 318 identified outbreaks that involved three or more cases is that they all occurred in indoor environments. Although this finding was expected, its significance has not been well recognised by the community and by policy makers. Indoors is where our lives and work are in modern civilisation.The transmission of respiratory infections such as SARS-CoV-2 from the infected to the susceptible is an indoor phenomenon..Our study does not rule out outdoor transmission of the virus . However, among our 7 324 identified cases in China with sufficient descriptions , only one outdoor outbreak involving two cases occurred in a village in Shangqiu, Henan. A 27-year-old man had a conversation outdoors with an individual who had returned from Wuhan on 25 January and had the onset of symptoms on 1 February.2020.04.04.20053058.full.pdf

ChrisF Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 Hey guys, not sure this is the right thread to post this in but do any of you know what level bike shops will open again or if anyone is already operating in the Somerset west/ Stellenbosch area? Really enjoying getting out in the mornings but it would be more fun with a working back brake.... I watched some YT videos to try fix it myself but I don't have the tools I'd need and there are a few other things my poor Giant Revel needs looked at as well.

Mostly it is only emergency repairs for essential services at this stage .... Hope you get sorted
T-Bob Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 and less dog sh i t. Not for nothing they are called the mink and manure set. I was down that way as well this morning and one of my hounds took his usual dump and as I was getting a bag out these two ladies with a couple of ridgebacks came around the corner and said 'don't worry just leave it, no one is looking'. Had to chirp back that 'wasn't the point, what about the kids running about, the cyclists and everyone else there. It's about good manners, just like wearing a mask'... They weren't wearing a mask.
Patchelicious Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 Standard TT rules work for me. The people at SA's or Iron Man you would be arrested.
