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

@SnapdragonQ I think you're overdoing it. If I remembered correctly this virus lives only a hour or so on paper and wood. And up to 3 hours on metals and and plastic.
Washing hands is only necessary if you touch surfaces shortly after a contaminated person touched it.
I wish you less fear. Please stay healthy in a more relaxed way.

I have to apologise for my reaction @snapdragon. I didn’t remember correctly. It seems the virus can live on surfaces for many hours. Even several days on plastic and metals. I honestly didn’t know.
Which you all good.

It's still work raising rabbits

I agree. There's a lot of work there. Cleaning cages is gross and hard. Handling 10lb animals who want to kick you with giant leg muscles is rough. Knowing your animals biology enough to diagnose when sick, having the skills to administer a shot and ID a problem, to book-keep records and calculate dosages, and research drug interactions, and recognize symptoms, and having the skill to handle an animal in a way that it doesn't get hurt, knowing how to pose it for photos and asses muscle structure for meat value, and how to butcher cleanly and advocate for good husbandry, well, all that has value. I work but I don't "work". I don't make enough in a year to pay taxes on it but I'm lucky to have people that value the work that I do anyhow.

I aint gonna see a cent of that tax rebate as it was written. But American Airlines and Hilton Hotels sure would have gotten a lot of it.

Funny. All those "essential workers" like the grocers, pharmacists, farmers, nurses, cashiers, line cooks, and all those other jobs get very little from a tax rebate, especially if it's a % based number.
But people who aren't very essential at all right now would get an awful lot. And they probably wouldn't spend it.

Great news! Back (no doubt) by popular demand. Tony Fauci is back! Yay! Check out the news conference now.

No worries. I think we are all trying to share the info we have in the hopes it can help someone, even if it is to bring them some calm. We are all learning. It's all good.

Thanks! They're dolls. The Star is a mutt though, not so much a breed. They help keep me sane and they're all VERY different dogs. God I love them so much. I would die for them.

(Careful, though. The Killer is deceptively cute. It's a lie.)

Yep.. Dog, I'm covered!

*Squints* Is there a dog there? All I see is two baby goats! XD (Or is that two baby sheep?)
