I know this sounds mad...

[Gilead]

Bloody balloons coming into the garden (it's windy here) and of course the dog has burst them. I've stopped him going out now, but I've convinced myself he's going to pass something on. Please calm me down!
I know where the'yve come from, I know they go out and see people all the time. I have a government letter and my mental health is not quite as solid a it was three weeks ago. Probably due to not being out or seeing anyone in that time.
Thanks!

If the people who blew up the balloons had CV there may have been CV particles on the balloons, but many of these will not have survived very long, if they were even there.

If (and it’s a big if) there were virus particles on the balloon they might have transferred to the dog’s mouth. But the dog can’t get CV, so most of those particles that may not have been there are going to be swallowed by the dog in his balloon-induced excitement and meet their doom.

There’s a very small chance that a few (probably imaginary) virus particles could get in your house from the dog’s whiskers and onto you, but they won’t survive long, and you’re almost certainly being extra scrupulous about hygiene, so they (assuming they were there, but probably weren’t) are all most likely down the drain by now.

I completely understand your concern OP, but try not to be too frightened.

Thank you so much, you have no idea how much I appreciate you bothering to post and reassure. 💐

Ah well, I can catastrophise like a pro, so I’m just saying the kind of thing I say to myself.

Thank you!
