Here are the pics. It tastes fantastic, I just wish it had risen more. The crumb is perfect as well and the crust is nice and soft.

It is predicted to be as bad as the 1957 flu pandemic but not as bad as the 1918 Spanish flu

The fatality rate is currently between 1 and 2 percent. Flu death rate is much lower.

There is way too much panic about it for sure!

As for the death rate, I'm looking at number of people exposed verses how many die. If something kills 100% of people that get it but only 1 in a million gets it, it's not that bad...

I am more worried about the disaster hysteria that might happen.

I do work at a place that might have more of a risk though-- Public university

You're@ Davis right? I read the hospital has treated covid19 patients.

@rjohns39 That is a really nice looking Whole Wheat Bread! I had alot of problems making 100% whole wheat bread, I am encouraged to try again now that I see yours.

Make sure you are not letting the dough over-rise. Let it rise only till doubled - when you poke it, the hole stays.

When I was making home ground Whole Wheat bread, I added 1 tablespoon of Vital Wheat Gluten to the dough and it really improved it. I think all the extra bran from the wheat berries makes the dough need the extra wheat gluten. I lived in Wyoming at the time and had to let the dough rise 3 times instead of 2. The first rise only took 1/2 hour and if I let it rise for a whole hour, it would be over risen and the texture would be off after baking. Essentially, by letting it over rise, I was letting the gas bubbles get too big and break the gluten strands that are created by the kneading. The Gluten strands are what hold in the gas bubbles and make the bread rise.

Went to Sam's Club last night for chicken - their family packs of boneless, skinless chicken breast is $1.99 per pound. Bought 7 pounds. I hope to freeze a couple of pounds and can up the other 5 pounds. Also got some really good looking Angus Sirloin Tip Steaks to try canning up - $3.69 per pound is pretty good for beef.

So, until I get my chicken tractor up and running so to speak, I buy cheap chicken. Hope to get more this weekend to can more up and have it on the shelf if we need it..

Those are good prices. Hope you don't mind me asking, but why can the meat instead of just freezing it? (I'm not a canner so don't know the benefits.)

Never seen a sams club out here ... We shop at Costco mostly for all our meats .. I buy Jimmy Dean sausages at wally as they are 1 lb.. Italian, hot or regular are all on the list

Good for you on not opening it Aria. I've brought it to the Staff's attention.

I don't expect they can do anything about it if the perpetrator is just using Google tracking info. I have Chrome set to not send tracking info, don't know if that actually works.

I am planning to STAY home MORE....no Crowds and one more large
Grocery Store Shopping. Aria

Different here, I WOULD stay home (though more would be hard, many weeks I only go out twice) but DW and I are flying to So. Cal next Wed for my niece's wedding. I'll be gone 2 weeks then go back to "hermit mode".

Pretty much, just act like they tell you to every flu season with the exception of getting a vaccine because there isn't one for this one yet.

Yep and don't bother running out to stock up on masks, they won't save you from getting it if and infected person coughs on you. They can help an infected person wearing a mask to not infect others since if they cough the mask will contain the "fluids".

The fatality rate is currently between 1 and 2 percent. Flu death rate is much lower.

From what I've heard the people dying from it are elderly or those with other serious health issues, especially respiratory. Young and middle age people don't seem to be badly affected, not that anyone would enjoy even a mild case.

It tastes fantastic, I just wish it had risen more. The crumb is perfect as well and the crust is nice and soft.

That looks great!!!!
