I see nothing of nutritional value in his cart either, except maybe some fruit cups.... he's looking at pork rinds, has lunchables, ice cream and snickers in his cart! Is that jacket/outfit supposed to help with social distancing?
Good thing I have a little bit of all medicines I could possibly need for my birds for a while. I still can't find rubbing alcohol & spray lysol, been looking for them for over 2 weeks now. Guess we're gonna just hafta get a bottle of Everclear to use as astringent!!!
Yeah the ones I'm making aren't to protect the wearer, it's to protect the community from the wearer. Our healthcare providers are being exposed daily and then go home or out into the community, wearing a simple mask can help prevent them from spreading it (they may be asymptomatic)...
So... on a positive note I decided to make some cotton masks for my nurse daughter and a nurse friend of mine & a few of her colleagues that work at a local hospital. Very simple to make but the ties are the hard part, I guess the elastic cording for ear loops must be a hot item (sold out until...
My daughter's a nurse at a hospital in Colorado, they pass out sterilized pre-used masks every morning. They have makeup from their previous user & who knows what on them. Crazy stuff right there. One mask for all day, unless you actually enter an infected patient's room then it's a new n95 mask.
I hear ya, I don't know that there is a legal fix for some of the ignorance going around. Maybe some names just stick with people and take a bit of time to stop using. Hopefully as time progresses the use of its origin name will decrease and the use of the official much easier to enunciate name...
That's the seriousness of it though, huh? My M&D & M&FIL have heart disease & FIL has non-insulin dependent diabetes & my M is oxygen dependent... they're all in their 70's. Worries us!!!
No, it eventually became covid-19, before that it was the other names.
I don't know about those racist the store owner is having to deal with, it's plain outright ignorance, what those people are doing/saying is wrong. Most people with common sense know & understand that calling it Wuhan...
It has had several names, depending on who was speaking.... 2019-nCoV... Wuhan Coronavirus... SARS-CoV-2... 2019 novel coronavirus... and then officially Covid-19... I'm sure there are more that I haven't seen.
It had spread to other countries, but the cases were connected to people from Wuhan...
Here's 1 back in January,
but we've had the
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and SARS as well. To me these referrals to these disease origins don't seem racist, but we're all entitled to an opinion. I prefer press conferences, less potential for any media outlet to...
To me it is like calling varicella "chicken pox". Covid-19 originated in China hence aka Wuhan Coronavirus. I think some people try to create racism where there is none. I'll run along now and continue my social isolation with my flock. I just want us all to try to protect our most vulnerable...
I did that too, multiple items substituted and 10 items out of stock so it ended up being a lot less expensive and a lot less effective for stocking my pantry with needed stuff. I hear Harps is doing delivery as well as online shopping, that's nice, there are a few pharmacies around here that...
My daughter is a nurse at a hospital there in Colorado, I worry for her too! She's pulling extra shifts....
Funky font is my fault, that's my phone setting :oops: .
