The garden party possibility

If these rumours turn out to be true, I don’t think it’s entirely fair on those who don’t have gardens (we are one of them). We live in an area where not many people have decent sized gardens.
It’ll be the same (or worse) for those who live in flats in cities etc. I know outdoor transmission is much less. And what happens if you need the toilet etc?

I asked my family the same about needing the loo and my mum has said she’d be quite happy to come in a nappy Grin
I guess you could all meet at a park if there was no garden?

My parents live 4 hours away 😢 but I guess my in laws could meet us at a park.

A potty round the back of the shed? 😬

Isnt it funny how we all assume this amazing weather is going to last forever when we're talking about garden parties etc.

Personally, if people wash their hands on entry to the house, and after they have used the loo, and then come back out, I don't see the problem. The risk of transmission from momentarily touching a surface has been shown to be small.
