fastcat – when?
About time.
Absolutely ridiculous forcing car users to leave their vehicles and go into the lounge. Far more possibilities of spreading the virus as you are forced to use the handrails up and down the stairs plus mingle with people in the lounge. I would far rather face drowning than catching the virus. An accident is far less likely than catching the virus from others in close proximity.

you are an idiot.
You are far more likely to catch the virus touching all the products in the supermarket, that everyone else has handled before you.
But I am not forced to touch all the products in the supermarket but am forced to go into the lounge on the ferry. And I wear gloves and a mask in the supermarket. And I am not an idiot.
then wearing the gloves on the ferry should negate your concerns – your comment is invalid.
