This guy has been named one of the top 50 scientist in the West

No doubt Piers Morgan and John2, who are not in the top 50, will put this guy right.

What's your agenda here IBS? Do you really expect posters to watch a 2h long video? Why don't you give us a synopsis of his thinking so we can decide whether we want to sit through it?

Hand wash or hand sanitiser
Don’t wear gloves.

[crashbang]

And the surfaces that everyone will inevitably touch [grab rails for example]
how do you deal with that?
& don't say gloves

Daughter and me when shopping use a sanitizing spray. on supermarket trolleys etc. quick spray ,wipe with tissue.
Its not rocket science,
If you can't work it out or don't feel safe don't go out.
masks available at reasonable prices .

[crashbang]

We don't shop together , before another loon takes offence.

We were talking about passengers on the London underground
But I guess with your attention span you couldn't comprehend could you?
& you refer to others as loons

Ok, so are you saying that if I am a bar owner, hairdresser etc, then I can reopen and get back to business in the UK? Can you think of a small problem that might prevent me opening at the moment?

It will take time to set up a safe environment where the public will be invited onto premises.
What I am suggesting is that these businesses start preparing now so that they can hit the ground running in say July.
Stop whining and start a winning mentality is the motto

LOL, you're such a sucker for an "appeal to authority".

Who has named this guy one of the top 50 scientists?

Did you ask yourself that question, or did you just blindly decide he must be credible? It's laughable how gullible you are.

Watch how easy it is: Ronnie Moore is one of the top 50 scientists in the world (not just the West, when indulging in meaningless expressions, why limit it?).

There, I said it. Now you can share a video of Ronnie Moore and say that he has been named one of the top 50 scientists in the world!

I guess I wasn't clear on what my concern was, as like others you seem to think I am talking about the creation of safe working environments. I don't have any concerns about safe working environments, I trust most employers, like us, will do the right thing and open when safe to do so.

The issue I flagged up was people safely travelling to work when they have no other alternative but tube or buses, which have we have seen have been full in peak times. So clearly, many employers have (hopefully) created safe places for their staff to work, but it isn't rocket science to see that when all of these workers are travelling together (all wearing masks and using hand gel no doubt) then without organising the transport infrastructure (numbers of people accessing at any one time, management of crowds), then the virus that is still passing amongst us will likely respread in cities at least. At that as implications for further implications on wider people's health and the economy when a 2nd wave and lockdown occurs.

Sorry but I don't think a virus recognises a "winning metality". It will only respond to well structured, well organised human behaviour that stops it spreading from one host to the next.

So, just to be clear, it isn't about employers and safe working environments!! It's about travel in cities. Hope that this is clearer **hangs head and weeps**

Blimey, I didn't know Ronnie was one of the top 50 scientists in the world.

Respect for Ronald! Follow follow.

A general rule seems to be that to maintain safe social distancing public transport can only carry 20% of it's normal capacity. I'd say on the tube it's probably more like 10% at best at peak times. The only way you can get the numbers down to that level is to ask non-essential riders (e.g. office workers who can work from home) to stay away. Unfortunately though services can't survive on 10% of income. I hear TFL are only a couple of days away from needing extensive financial support.
