Let's keep everyone in suspense and wait! LOL!

Perfectly, and unequivocally correct¡!!!!!

I know they're much more difficult from there on, and folks may have to burden themselves by following the link, and reading about disinfection, but that is the whole purpose of the process, to wise everyone up, where necessary.

If only the old wisened guy who gave our class at college a one hour lecture, in which he explained aerosol droplets being produced and spreading, and almost terrified us by what he said, only to go on to deal with so many aspects of infection control, such as the need for cleaning, especially on horizontal surfaces, the benefits of "dilution" of the infectious agent, etc etc. .

"I didn't want to say that", but maybe you're right, and I always thought people in the USA or Australia, or wherever, all had stout hearts!(if that doesn't stir everyone into action nothing will. ).

My dad used to say, "An hour before midnight is worth two after" …....but regardless of that I hope to see you bright eyed and bushy tailed in class tomorrow! .

Thank you for this, Graham, it was a lot of fun!

You've inspired me to mirror a topic like this in the near future!

Everyone well up on their disinfection knowledge then, but "too shy to share". .

I agree, and what a shame, for the more people who get involved, the more enjoyable it makes a place such as this.

"Maybe I pitched it wrongly"!

Should've gone for the hard sell, such as " Save your family from the bug!"

Or perhaps a fun angle, "Do you know the one about the virus......you might not get it!". .

Super ideas! I'm thinking you could have also applied a sliver of psychology to it, something in the order of, hey everybody, there's no way you'll get even so much as a single question right, absolutely, positively, not a chance!

Nonetheless, Graham, I think you did great!

ROFLMAO! Thanks for the laugh, Graham! You make for a great member on this forum!

I've thought of a weakness in my plan to threaten everyone failing to respond to the quiz with a detention! .

ROFL! When my kids were little I kept a wooden spanking spoon on a hook outside the bathroom door, and though I never once used it on anyone's bottom, it made for a convincing tool of mine when it came to getting my kids attention.

I might employ the "naughty step" routine on everyone, but how to monitor compliance has me banjaxed. .

Let's work together on a plan for that!

I'm going to delegate that task if you don't mind?

You're hereby appointed "head girl" in the Seniors Forum academy! .

It's only a hunch, but you wouldn't happen to be passing the buck now, would you?
