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

This short video sheds some interesting insight regarding the virus mutating now and differing disease statistics in different areas of the world:

Rather dry, but interesting.
I didn't listen to everything but picked up on the various mutations correlating to a particular strain's aggressiveness.

My "real" emergency food stock is TVP and quinoa. Of course there are always beans and rice on the shelf as well.

TVP..... **shudders**

In New Mexico there’s a shelter in place, and we can’t even go for walks outside anymore. I guess I’ll just have to get used to it.

On another note...I've been doing BYC searches to learn about first time incubation hatching and can't seem to find one good thread or article so far. I'm going cross eyed from searching.

Anyone have a suggestion for a good incubator/hatching 101 for dummies?

......asking for a friend.

There are several good thread on BYC. I started out with a styrofoam incubator. If you can hatch in one of those you can hatch in just about anything.

and pasta and noodles. Country old folks will survive - if they are smart/lucky.

I would have a freezer bag. Put on some gloves put money in bag then wash gloves with soap & water. Hang to dry so they can be reused. The bag would zip and leave it a few weeks before handling.


Would think your eggs would be great demand right now.


Good luck. It will all work out.

That would make it hard for the customers to make change. I do sell a lot of eggs. I have a lot of birds.

I guess science is often dry (especially the ones that lecture college students).
There is a much drier one coming from a guy with Moderna detailing how the new phase 1 trial vaccine for the novel coronavirus will work. It doesn't even have an image for its YouTube video!

Even i couldn't finish it!

DW said it was my turn to help the kids with their school work I'm not good at this. They are having fun with arts and crafts right now. Cardboard, paper, string, glue, tape, markers and crayons etc can keep them busy all day.
Yesterday DW taught them how to sew by hand, the girls barbies all have new dresses, boy's Spiderman has a new pair of pants, looks like MC Hammer pants Lol, poor spidey.
Think I'll teach them how to play rummy later.

Put all the money in one of the lingerie bags and throw it in the washer. Won't hurt paper as it is made out of rag paper.

I still have to have money out to make change. I have forgotten to take money out of my pocket and it has went through the washer. I sell a lot of eggs every day.
