How can you get low exposure? Once you get the virus It attacks. It s not some dust particle....

Till there s no vaccine the Only solution Is be healthy and get zero exposure
why wouldn't the amount matter? it's a particle that tries to get into a cell, the more particles you take in the more likely it is that one will succeed or several will succeed. Then if your immune system is trying to detect and neutralise a larger number of infected cells it's going to be worse, isn't this why that young Chinese doctor died at the beginning? I found this on it:
Because the aggression of the virus depends on the dose, exposure from a railing will likely be milder than from direct contact with fluids, says Blaser: “If you had your choice off getting it from touching a railing or someone coughing on you, you’d choose the railing.”

The chassis thing is a bit of a worry, if your chassis is no good this then same thing next year. Racing Point's big bet looks like it will pay off much better than expected.

They should be able to use the Mercedes PU in 2021... Their contract with Renault ends at the end of this year and the contract with Mercedes starts in 2021 and isn’t tied to an specific set of regulations... It would be like having changed this year, unrelated one to the other.

its not about if they can use the engine
its about if the Mercedes engine will fit in the chassis without losing aero

i think i feel pretty negative about it. The new cars were supposed to be better for following and give better racing, that was the point of them, and now instead of that we'll have the existing aero even more developed, as that's not being homologated, which will mean even more outwash and wake and make the dead zone even longer, and in testing one of the drivers was talking about feeling it at 3-4 seconds already :cry:
