Helping Others During this Time of Covid 19 / Coronovirus 2020

[igorsMistress]

It feels good to do something positive, doesn't it?

Yes'm it does. The last person has no car so I'm going to meet her near her home to drop off. A bit of a walk but just a couple minutes in the car.

Most or all of the helpful actions mentioned in this thread spread the virus.

You are probably spreading the virus

I think that needs some emphasis.

Once you get the virus you are NOT aware that you have the virus for around 5.1 days on average, during that time, YOU ARE CONTAGIOUS, along with EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH including eggs.

helping is great, and I do it and I'm all for it, but I believe it is worthwhile to point out that a person who doesn't think they have the virus will be viral shedding onto eggs and every surface they touch and that is how the virus travels. I don't want to put a damper on things, but I believe i that it needs to be said. I guess you can burn me at the stake now for pointing out the science whitchcraft and blasphemy.

You could lay the eggs down on the ground outside your neighbors house and spray or dip them in a one part bleach to 20 parts water mix. don't use packaging, sms your neighbor and they can pick the eggs up and wash them in water and use them as normal.

We aren't spreading anything if we aren't sick. Thank you for your support. Have a nice day.

What you're saying makes sense, just use caution with everything. For yourself and others.

I placed bags of seeds at their front door, I know I'm clean, I've barely left the house in 3 weeks and I'm not even knocking, just dropping the bag there and sending a message to check their front door, lol.

In the case of eggs, or anything else for that matter, if someone needs something and they need to get it one way or the other, then getting it from one person's yard rather than a grocery store where you come into contact with many more people and an unknown number of people touch your stuff, I feel like backyard farmers are the safest bet right now with the least amount of exposure. It's up to each individual how well they're cleaning their produce once it's home but that's my take on it.

I haven't been to the grocery store in weeks and weeks so I did stop at a little produce stand to fill in and I'll probably go to a friend's farm for some fresh milk. Exposure is still only 2 people vs 100s.

I have to agree! I drove past Sprouts Wednesday.....there was not a single open parking space!
Soooooo.....if this crap hangs in the air for 3-4 hours.....how many people went down that aisle next to those apples, lettuces, carrots, and whatever else?

I don't even want to think about THOSE numbers.

Excuse me....I need to go chat at my seedlings to encourage them to grow.....
Thinking THAT will be our safest produce option now.

My apologies...my post was in support of getting/giving things grown at home being a safer seeming option to going to the store where none of us know what contaminants may be on or in the foods.

I am planting extras this year to potentially assist not only my household but my neighbors who are either financially devastated or feel unsafe getting produce through the stores.
I am converting a garden bed that had rather unproductive strawberries to lettuces, and onions. I am planting extra bell peppers, swiss chard, summer squash, cucumbers and green beans for any neighbor in need.
Eggs are always available to any of my neighbors and they know it.

I'm sorry, I was just responding to them and explaining what I did to keep the seeds I was sharing safe as well as myself. Which I figured was important to explain considering the situation? ...

Everyone stay safe and keep up the kindness, I feel it's really needed right now more than ever.

You're fine Andrea, no need to apologize.
