MonochromeTV, yes in a previous life I was a train driver and I spent most of my time taking commuters to/from work on V-sets. It was the best part of the job.
Back then (1980s) they still had the single-decker silver U-sets too. They were a bit old & worn out, but they still worked pretty well. The doorway was only wide enough for one person at a time and they had to be opened manually with a doorknob, like a door at home.

I was a Melbourne tram driver in my previous life.
I almost became a train driver, but my safeworking training saw me ending up in a signal box instead. Now most of the suburban "boxes" have gone & the train control is mostly centralised on the 13th floor of Transport House in Collins St.
Never got to ride in a U-boat. It is good to see that the some the preserved ones are still operational.

The U-sets were basically a red rattler with Budd stainless steel cladding and more comfy seats.

I go to a test location (traffic line too long, so skipped it) but ask worker there "do they test for antibody" and he said "yes, anybody can be tested" I reply "no, antibody" -- he says no (pity as this would be more informative test.)

Apparently there is no evidence that antibody will work with corona. Many people that have had corona caught it again too.
So this virus must have a different make up than others .
I felt sorry for that Actor that got it, he was 45,
Lost his leg ,then they put a pacemaker in his heart, then replaced one lung . Than it killed him and he was only 45
Absolutely horrid virus

It would be interesting for a person to know if they had it - without symptoms - and recovered: must have finger prick test for this - slower result and more expensive because Lab test needed.
