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

We lived on Okinawa years ago, and it was necessary to rinse all produce we planned to eat uncooked (like lettuce) in a dish of bleach water. It all came out tasting like greens with bleach. This was because of growing conditions, and water rationing, which made ALL the water contaminated.
There's no way I will buy or eat any leafy produce now that's not going to be cooked, and the bleach water rinse to make it safer doesn't appeal either.

It's good practice to wash all edible produce to be eaten raw.
I can still recall the horror from an Italian girlfiend when I took an apple from a market stall in the UK and proceeded to eat it.

I liked to read this thread when it was all about Covid-19 and what people experienced in their day to day life. But I find sharing recipies, baking popcorn and loving cookie dough not so very interesting to be honest.

Could you please make a new thread on hobby’s or bakery things during this crisis, and leave the thread for sharing news, ehat you encounter and dealing with Corona?

Skip the post if you don't want to read it? Don't click on the video? Problem solved.

I also just heard that this may be a regular event, just like the flu every year.

Somewhat realistic, but research seems to indicate that given the body's reaction to the virus it is very likely that a vaccine can/will be developed.

Our Sprouts has bagged everything in the bulk bins. I rarely purchased anything from tge bulk bins anyway. Now? No way!

Good to know they are actively working to reduce that risk.

Ok, I got my "It's ready" pick email from TSC (my only local feed store) and it's the same general pick up email. Nothing on how things might be done differently.
Not sure if I'll go today because there is still a lot of water across the driveway, but for sure by tomorrow. When I do go I'll report back how my store is doing things.

Call the store....they may have a recording or person that is letting people know about store policies changing.

Yes I was just looking into it more deeply. That's a good thing.

We are still holding up here. We need to get groceries but Walmart has no times I'll pull an all nighter and keep checking to see if they have any times that open up. Buying groceries for our house and my parents because they'd do the same for us. Kids picked all the snacks they wanted and I didn't say no to anything... It's not a time to nitpick or say no. It is what it is. They're having a hard time adjusting to this new life they have.

Sooooo while this pandemic brings out the best in some....the he worst remains as well.

My husband drives a company truck for work which means his personal vehicle is parked at the shop overnight while he is on call.
He arrived at the office this morning to find his truck has been stolen.

Human race. <<sarcasm just so you know.

Sorry

I do think it’s only natural though for a thread as big as this to drift eventually, especially when people are cooped up in their houses and there hasn’t really been any new news, but I’ll try de

Maybe somebody else could make a new thread for me though as I have way too many already

Yea, I just did a bit more reading on it.
It’s great that the water is clearer though.

The video did say the dolphins were in sardenia though, they didn’t try to lie and say it was Venice. Idk about other posts.
