Foot and Mouth (or Hoof and Mouth)

Cricket explained for Americans:

I cannot find the really good description of cricket involving ins and
outs.


Heather M.: "My MOM just called and tried to convince me to stay home so I
don't get hoof and mouth disease. I know it's bad but should she be really
worried? I'm not, as I am not going to travel around the country. I've
heard that they may restrict people going in and out of the country... ?
Help? Any info would be most appreciated."
Dai: "Humans don't get foot and mouth. Travel is restricted so that people
don't drag the bug about the country with them and spread the outbreak."

F&M is not something to affect humans. All the restrictions that are being
put in place are designed to stop the disease spreading any further in the
animal population.
Travel is restricted in the sense that you are not allowed easy access
around the countryside, but I have not heard on any restrictions on
actually travelling. If you are staying in London then it is unlikely to be
any problems.
I heard yesterday that the American are planning on making some sort of
checks on people coming from the UK, but if you have not been in the
countryside there should be no problems.
Visiting the London parks may be out, they may have been closed (I am
unsure about this). They may just have put out some disinfectant
matting/straw, as they have for people to walk over who are going into
Christ Church Meadow (large area of open land, which occasionally has
animals grazing on it, situated close to where I live).
