Default When to give up on outdoor tomatoes due to blight

I'm seeing the first signs of blight.

A few dark patches on stems, a few marked leaves, a few marked tomatoes.

Mostly the tomatoes seem fine, there is still a large crop and they are
still ripening.

What is the best way to prolong cropping, and how long do you think I can
get away with it?

Cheers

Bonfire NOW. I have read that the plants can be composted but not the
fruits. I'm not convinced. Anything from my plantation that looks
dodgey will be sent off site for destruction, ASAP.
