I experienced a couple more cases of "Human Magnetism Syndrome" today while walking to work this morning and returning home this evening. I would never have thought that the human body could acquire such powerful magnetic properties, such that those affected, are liable to be deflected 90 degrees from their intended direction, on the pavement, into the middle of the road. I would suggest that passing another human being, walking in the opposite direction, on the pavement carries somewhat minimal risk to life, despite the virus. However, I would suggest that walking in the middle of the road because one is paranoid about catching the virus carries a somewhat grater risk to one's well being.
Personally I currently have 2 vulnerable elderly people living in my house and one has lung cancer. Currently I am expected to continue to go out to work every day. My way of dealing with the matter is to follow official advice and wear my respirator when going into shops but not to panic. My main concern is that if and when I do get the virus I don't pass it on to others' especially my older relatives.
