Speaking personally Im probably taking the same risks as you are at the moment, rA, other than maybe doing more frequent shopping than you, as you are, I believe possessed of a car and hence can stock up with more per visit.

My question (and I suspect yours too) is, is Mac's one persistently coughing woman in a shop more or less of a risk than 16 children in a room?. Evidence suggests that children are minimal to low risk, which seems to be this and a few other countries' stance on the matter. Which I guess is where you are coming at it from - you dont believe anything the government says, so you wont accept their risk assessment.
