I have about 400 gloves and 100 surgical masks.

Just got in from Wally world. the place was beat to crap, pretty much out of toilet paper, bleach, lysol, etc.
Good thing I have pretty much completed my prep.

I still have to get non perishable food. And masks. Or bandanas, if masks are sold out. They said masks only keep droplets out, which is not so good.

I’m glad you’re prepped, Crom.

Droplets in the air seems to the the prevalent form of transmission.
although not the only way.
Nothing we can do will keep us totally safe from the virus. But we can greatly decrease the risks of catching it.
Avoid crowds.
Avoid handshaking.
Do not touch face with hands.
After touching things which may be contaminated wash hands welll or even use hand sanitizer.
contaminated things, shopping carts keypads at checkout, teller machine, door handles, etc.

Masks can help but treat the outside of them as possibly contaminated after using and wash hands after removing them. Same with gloves, they can protect you but if removed improperly they can also contaminate you.

BTW I got my masks from amazon about 3 weeks or so ago.

main things seem to be avoid crowds and wash hands a lot.

That sounds good. I should get a Kindle. I’ve been buying too many books for $3.99 from Thrift Books. I don’t have the storage in this apartment!
I do kindle,but get a lot of hard copy and e-books from library.,and the library is free.

Because people are going to be isolating now because of this creepy corona threat! :teehee: Sorry, I haven’t left my house in a few days! Lol
Won't be much of a change for me as I often don't go out for days. But I wouldn't be a happy camper if it were not by choice.

I’ve got to get a good hand moisturizer because washing so often is already drying my hands out. Ouch.

Sounds like you’re really prepared. Maybe you should share more on Jimi’s thread. Maybe it would help people here.

The US best country in the world where many seem to think that the Mexican border will pay rent and refuse to drink Corona Beer because of the virus.
And where our leadership is obviously more concerned with the economy than with the health and safety of it's citizens.

If only it were that easy to avoid this plague by not not drinking Corona beer.

I worry because of my profession. Im a house painter. People want me to paint. Inside their homes. Everywhere inside. I have gotten closer to more strangers toilets than women sadly. I see the disgusting globs of filth that even the homeowners do not see. I often end up touching the filth inadvertently. I see more gross stuff on the baseboards of people's walls, in top of their refrigerator, behind the fridge, the bathroom. People are not clean. IM GOING TO GET SICK!! Because people don't clean, I'm going to get covid 19. Im going to die. Ive seen things I can't even type into words here inside homes. Nice homes.

Only thing I could come up with....
Why the heck would he tweet such a thing at this time?

I’m not sure. Either he’s very self destructive, or he’s trying to make fun of people who think he’s denying the virus.
I can’t think of the word I was looking for to describe him. He’s contrary in a very strange way.

I came down with a bad bout of something in early December. I’m not saying it was corona, I’m just saying I was sick. It lasted about two months for me and I still feel not so good.

If you can, stay home. Get plenty of rest. Maybe drink tea or herbal tea. I had some projectile vomiting out of the blue, too. And yep, feeling like my balance went away!

Feel better!

Your body will start to heal when you sleep. When I was sick in December, I was so tired that literally I was sleeping most of the day.
If you get any cold or sinus symptoms, try Quercetin. It’s an herb and it was the only thing that helped me. It let me breathe and took away my headache.
The tilting may have to do with congestion or sinus pressure maybe?

Glad you’re feeling better.

CDC director says some coronavirus-related deaths have been found posthumously


During the House Oversight Committee discussion on the novel coronavirus response, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said some deaths from coronavirus have been discovered posthumously.

Rep. Harley Rouda asked CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield if it’s possible that some flu patients may have been misdiagnosed and actually had coronavirus.

"The standard practice is the first thing you do is test for influenza, so if they had influenza they would be positive," Redfield said.

Rouda then asked Redfield if they are doing posthumous testing.

Redfield said there has been "a surveillance system of deaths from pneumonia, that the CDC has; it’s not in every city, ever state, every hospital.”

Rouda followed up and asked, “So we could have some people in the United States dying for what appears to be influenza when in fact it could be the coronavirus?”

The doctor replied that “some cases have actually been diagnosed that way in the United States today.”

They’re dragging their feet with this illness. The CDC seemed more active when they were blaming “Evali” for kids dying and warning of the dangers of “e-cigarettes”!!

Our administration is clearly more concerned about their image and re-electability than about keeping citizens safe.

heck even the promised things to boost the economy are like pouring water in a leaking barrel as opposed to fixing the leak.

The economy is going south BECAUSE of the virus, fight the virus and the economy will rebound. Ignore the virus and the economy will continue to go south.

Dumbasses.

Ohh and the WHO made the Corona Virus officially a pandemic today.

So it’s a bit late for that announcement! And relying on hot weather to cut down infections isn’t a great strategy either, imho. Are we sure that will work even?

The guy from Natural News wrote an article about how Kratom has corona virus fighting properties. What type are you taking, Crom? I want to make sure whatever I had in December doesn’t come back. I’m not saying it was corona but it was a kick ass flu strain, and I’m only really getting over it now.

He also did an equation thing for how many cases and deaths there will be if we don’t start doing quarantines and stopping air and other travel in and out of this country. You can’t believe how many deaths will/may occur. :scary:

I get my Kratom at Mitragaia and take several different varieties. some are a bit better for pain and some for calming effect.
PITA to buy the stuff though. No credit card or paypal. I do money order.

Y'all are making me wonder if my daughter already had it.

She was sick for WEEKS. Like, three or four weeks, terrible flu-like symptoms. I've never heard of a case of flu lasting as long as she was sick.

It's only been about a month ago, I guess, that she finally was getting back on her feet.

The timing might be wrong, but I wondered at the time why she was staying so sick for so long.

I read a report abut the CDC? tracking 8 people who cam over here from wuhan with the virus before January.
And they would have infected thousands by now. well if each infected 2 and those 2 infected 2, etc you get the picture.

I wonder if I an the wife had it as well had exact same symptoms as mild case corona. Headache, sore throat, some fever. Not too much congestion.
took over 10 days to feel right again. I hid out and so did the wife so we did not give it to anyone else. and neither of us has recently been to China, flown or went skiing in Italy.
I did however get a packet of electronic components from China a few days before coming down with it.

Guess I will never know for sure unless I am definitely exposed and do not come down with it.

I was sick for about two months, and that was when I was off VU for a while. I was really really ill. I don’t know what it was, but it kicked my ass. I didn’t really have a fever and had a dry annoying cough. I’m still kinda blech now. But I’ve been taking garlic the last week or so, and I think it’s helping. This is a stubborn flu.

Do you remember how in the winter a lot of people on VU had the flu? People were buying vape gear like crazy on sale and for Deeming stashes. All of our gear comes from China, so it’s possible a virus could have been shared like that. :eek:

Yep they give you the info to put on the money order when you place your order.
You mail the MO to them and they ship your order. Works well just slow and a trip to get a MO.
I think you can send them a pic of your MO and they will ship too. But I just ship it to them and add a couple of days to the turnaround.

Some hemp places we’re doing that, but offering crypto payments too. Are they being denied CC payment options?

Yep. Because in 1 state. Ohio I believe Kratom is treated like a hard illegal drug.
the feds however only enforce the no false claims about supplements rules on Kratom.
Just like with all other supplements.

Actually it is listed as a botanical sample not for human consumption where I get it :)

I still think the Corona virus has been here longer than most think and it was misdiagnosed as flu.

And there’s as good a chance as any that with the amount of vape gear we get from China or through resellers, that some of us could have picked up a light case of it.
I was sick as a dog over Thanksgiving, and I did buy a lot of stuff on sale to stock up with. I’ve never had the flu, so I didn’t know wth was wrong with me. So, who knows? Flu can hide in plain sight as flu, though.
