Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Remember when I said I had a lot of seeds? That was an understatement....

Separated by year... left to right... 2016-2020 (yes I bought more this year )

@Kiki was right.... I am a bit of a hoarder

Actually, tbh I didn’t even realize how many or what I had because I have never gone through them until now....

I went a bit crazy in 2017

Anybody need some!?

OMG! Understatement! You are the new seed queen

Research: Cats can get coronavirus, dogs hardly, chickens don't.

Cats and ferrets can become infected with the coronavirus, but dogs barely and chickens, pigs and ducks at all. According to news agency Reuters, this is evident from a study published in China in January and February, published in the scientific journal Science.

Epidemiologist Maria van Kerkhove of World Health Organization WHO said at a press conference on Wednesday that pets do not appear to play a role in the spread of the virus, but that they can be infected by people who are infected.

I quoted myself from another topic about Covid19 because this chat thread has more followers.

So many comments... gotta comment in blocks of pages I guess.



Super useful, thanks for posting! I keep my seeds and plant them until they no longer sprout, and then I turn the packet sideways in my seed bin so I know what to order for the next season.



Hate to bring this up, but I think part of the reason golf is being allowed in some states (while public parks are closed) is due to socio-economic reasons... that is, the people who make the decisions are also the people with money. Golf takes money - for memberships, for equipment.



Amen.



I think this is starting to wear on a lot of people. I've noticed, during this past weekend and this week as well, there's a lot more people out and about than before. I think people are really fatigued with isolation and just desperate to be somewhere else. At least around here we're permitted to "leisurely drive" if that's what someone wants to do to get out of the house.



State by state. WA state is currently extended until May 4th I think?



You're lucky then to have a family that's close. Unfortunate reality is, not everyone has good relationships with their family. To tell them they have to stay locked up with parents or siblings or a partner who is abusive to them... you can't imagine how difficult this must be right now. Honestly surprised the rate of death or serious injury from domestic battery haven't skyrocketed, or maybe it's not being published.

I don't think I could last any longer that a few days locked up with my mom. God love her but she talks non stop, and much more. I would go nuts!

Walmart?

I have never used anything but tap water.

Thank you, thank you! although surprisingly I learned tonight that there are people that have even more than me!

I’m not really sure where I’m going to put all the wildflowers or pasture seed

This is my concern about starting them so late

Might need to just buy tomatoes this year haha

I had huge nice full grown peppers I overwintered but I killed them

I have to say. One year my father planted tomatoes really early like a month early. I planted mine on Memorial Day. both of our tomatoes got ripe at the same time.

The only thing I have a lot of is horse manure (or the neighbor's cow plops). Horse manure is not very high in nitrogen (4%). But it certainly keeps the planting areas real nice and soft and fluffy. And it breaks down nicely.

I think those symptoms sound more like depression or some sort of anxiety . I don't think I would jump to any conclusions or get all worked up over something that's not a definite .

What I've read is that the preponderance of Covid-19 is respiratory. When it's respiratory there are coughs and difficulty breathing. Sometimes it's nervous. In that case, people have the lack of taste/smell symptom. More occasionally it's gastro/intenstinal. In that case the symptoms include diarrhea.

I don't know this for fact but I'd imagine there's fever in any case.

Our water is way too hard to use in an incubator.

Oh wow that’s awesome!! I hope I have the same luck haha last year I honestly was also super late starting and transplanting but it ended up working out because it was a super cold and gross spring so they probably would have died if I had planted sooner. I think I planted like June. But this year it is super nice and I feel like a very early spring so I probably should have started them sooner. this is way later than I started them even last year. Latest I’ve ever started. Idk, starting from seeds is kind of a pain. but I have so many varieties I want to try.
