Not a good thing to discuss here.

He can't crack down on scalpers, he is no longer Governor or even in politics. Its actually a old joke, still for sale I believe. People like to put them, corn cob toilet paper holders in hunting cabins etc.

So do I, dairy plant. I'm not sure if I should be happy I'm working, or ticked off that I'm the only one leaving the house, DW is laid off, kids school closed everyone staying home (definitely safe distancing) except me, we live in the boonies if we get sick/die it will be my fault...

Do you have a can of Lysol?


Wash your hands.

I'm glad I'm growing my hair long because all the places I go are closed. Husband's place is closed too. My son said he's going to become a hippy

I grow my hair long so I can donate it to be used for making a wig for a child with cancer.

Remember. There was a day before non-woven single use everything when cotton masks were the only option.

When I first started in nursing we did not have all the disposable items they have today. We reused needles, syringes, linens in the operating room, etc. Part of the problem now is we don't know how to drop back and punt. The younger generation doesn't know how to make what they need. You don't have to buy everything. Use your brain and common sense.

I admire you for that. You are so giving.

Yesterday my county had 189 cases and 6 deaths, today it's 196 cases and 8 deaths.

In my county we have our first case that was diagnosed on Friday. So far so good.

Lol, working in a dairy plant we prob wash our hands and sanitize as much as nurses. Every door to any room in the plant has a sink and a alcohol sanitizer next to it , required every time you enter even if two seconds ago in a different area you did the same. Plus foot baths to walk through. Always been like this.
But I deal with truck drivers 10-16 hrs a day coming from all over the state and occasionally other states.

Spray the truck drivers with the can of Lysol you wear on a necklace around your neck.


I'd guess the truck drivers don't mingle with too many people on the road....just don't hug them and you should be fine.

To go to the grocery store, they said a mask and gloves were enough....they lied...
everybody else had clothes on!....

I don't know where the Spanish Flu originated but what I've read is that the Spanish government was the only one at the time that didn't keep their newspapers from publishing stories about it when it was already a worldwide phenomenon. I guess this comes under the no good deed goes unpunished rubric.

Now we are better educated and try to be more specific and less blame-y about these things. ...and Molpet indicates why. How does it help anyone for someone to victimize someone who had sweet nothing to do with a virus migrating from an animal to a human? NO ONE wanted that. NO ONE caused that. NO ONE is responsible for that. ...only for how we behave once we know there's jeopardy.

Yup.
The Spanish Flu's first known case was on a military base in Kansas. The doesn't prove it started there, but without technology it's hard to prove it didn't start there.

And according to scientists, human encroachment on animal habitat is a big cause for viruses jumping to humans. Bats all over the world are carriers (not hosts) of a lot of viruses that have been studied for years. Bats losing their habitats and humans having easy access to them is a big factor in virus spread.
