Are you still booking track days?
Discussion
It’s not just participating in the trackday though is it? My routine tends to include a visit to the petrol station on the way and services on the way back for a Burger King. Plus having used all that fuel the next visit to the petrol station won’t be far away. Compared to staying at home you’re probably doing several more transactions.

A few days ago, I was considering Oulton next week. Following the progress of CV19 I think it’s unnesscessary risk.
Online order food shops from now on aswell?And yes, I’m avoiding the supermarket where I can.

You do what you have to do. My wife is a doctor so I’m likely to get it anyway, but if me not driving round in circles for a day limits the exposure for others, I’m happy to make the sacrifice.
And yes, I’m avoiding the supermarket where I can.
We're all likely to get it. This whole thing is to slow us getting it, not stop us. You should know this.And yes, I’m avoiding the supermarket where I can.
To tell you the truth, I'd rather get it now. Then in 2 weeks I'll be immune and not contagious and then I can go see my gran.

You can still carry it even though you don't have it.
I read on here the other day you can catch it more than once too.

Both of these statements are untrue. Please don't spread misinformation sourced from idiot media. You can still carry it even though you don't have it.

You can only carry it if you are infected. You can be infected without symptoms, but your immune system will still be dealing with it and you will only be infectious for a limited period. There is no reliable evidence of reinfection in people who are not immunocompromised (there has been a total of one reported instance, and that is in doubt), and initial indications are that the normal immune response is a strong one (stronger than, e.g., the common cold) and that people who have had an nCv19 infection will not be reinfected.
It's why the government is (finally) looking to obtain serology tests (which are tests for the antibodies to the virus that will be present in people who have recovered). If the initial findings about immune response are validated, this will mean that people who have been infected can resume normal activity. There will have to be careful controls to stop people who have not been infected pretending that they have been, because people are selfish idiots, but if we can do a decent job of this kind of screening its our best chance to avoid the complete destruction of our economy.

THere's confusion & misinformation all around - if you have reliable sources you can link to, it would certainly add credibility to your attestation..
I'm sure I heard Chris Whitty say just a few days ago that there wasn't;t enough evidence to say either way whether repeat infection would be an issue..... unlikely, but unknown I think was the phrase.

I suppose he means you could literally carry it on your hands and maybe clothing if you come in contact with the virus and have yet to wash it off or it die.You can only carry it if you are infected.

Here you go - lots of unlikely type statements, but nothing particularly definitive at this stage

Will also give us a better sense of the full scale of it, especially with the concerns many people are asymptomatic, and the need for further lockdowns if more people have been infected than originally thoughtZoobeef said:

If your point was that you could act as a passive transmission vector by having the virus on your person, well, yes, but given that it's mainly transmitted by aerosol it would hard for that to work, and some basic hygiene would deal with most of it. What you can't do is have living virus in you with sufficient viral load for your exhalations to be infectious once you've recovered and still have a working immune response.
The point (which I think someone else made in this thread or one of the other 473 nCv19 threads on here) is about viral load. You *could* catch the virus by touching an infected surface and then your face, but you'd get a small dose and your immune system would likely fight it very effectively. In fact this is the crudest possible form of vaccination, albeit with significant risks. But if you give someone in the most contagious stage of their own infection mouth to mouth resuscitation you'll get a massive viral load and your immune system may not be able to keep up. This is why groups of people are bad - if several of them are infectious, you get a high viral load from the multiple sources. The weaker your immune system, the smaller the viral load needs to be to have this effect, which is one of the (several) reasons that older people are much more likely to be hospitalised and to die.
