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

The reports I've seen talk about 'somewhat airborne' transmission. That choir in another state who had one last practice, for example. Better too careful than not careful enough!!!

I agree. Nothing is absolute at this point. Here's an interesting article. I made masks yesterday for husband and myself after reading this. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/n...-might-stop-spread-through-coughs/5086553002/

When I was a kid, I used to repair my mother's sewing machine. I guess I was just mechanically inclined.

Oh man! I wish I knew you! I have 2 machines in for repair. They've been there a week. I have NO idea what it will cost or when I'll get them back...

He was just waiting for an excuse.

Mental illness was most likely already present, the fear of Covid-19 just made him go "off the edge".

You're too far away, but good luck.

President Boris Johnson of the UK is in hospitable with Corona.

everyone would be infected by now.

Maybe we already are. The CDC is recommending masks because they suspect it may travel more than 6' in the air, call it what you like that is airborne,.

I'm sure that is true. I still think he hated her. Just sayin'.

I'm in New Zealand, and we are in lockdown. No leaving the house unless it's essential. The only things still open are food stores and hospitals, basically only essential businesses.
There is nearly no food in the grocery stores, everyone is wearing masks, and it's quite scary honestly.

I wore a mask when I went in the grocery store yesterday and my husband had me hold his hand. He said that way we know where our hands are going. It was actually suggested by a Dr in New York who's in the thick of it.

I would never do this with my hubby lol. Even when we were at the feed store today he couldn't stop touching things (the only 2 things I touched I was buying). This is the same man that puts his hands all over tabletops at a restaurant because he can't just keep them on his lap or gesture in the air.

How about this one? Karma if you ask me....

Yet meanwhile many states are looking into early release of some high risk prisoners to reduce the chances that they'd catch it in the close confines of prison... where's the justice in that?

I'd like to see an actual study done so it's not just he said she said. Most reports people are reading aren't even from a good source. They're just reporters looking to make a buck with every click we make.

I was going to lecture you too but see that others firmly beat me to it.

WELL DONE!

A neighbor who's a nurse tells me that the ones with the elastic band loops for the ears get very uncomfortable over time. She sent me this adaptation some nurse came up with.

Good idea, but I've been using fabric ties from the beginning. Much more comfortable.
One can also slice T-shirts onto 1 inch strips, tug them to make them curl, and voila...fabric ties.

I've avoided it since childhood myself. Not a favorite!

Ditto!
