I just watched "93 days" on Netflix... talk about scary... Can't say enough about our health care workers, we are lucky to have such brave people on the front lines helping us...
I'll second this!! I have never been more proud of them.
i just added like 7 pandemic type movies to my netflix queue, i'm not sure why, but i figure now is the time to see all those movies.
Its actually been proven that all of the precautionary steps Dr. Fauci has advised Trump on, he's listened and taken actions on them to get them implemented. If that wasn't the case,I believe we would be much worse off than we are.
We're watching carriers now, outbreak is on the list.I tried watching Outbreak last week and the wife got to quezy after about 5 min in
I'm taking this whole Covid-19 thing VERY seriously. If my dad gets sick, he'll likely die. All my clients are in the "at risk" age. I've read even if you're a healthy 30 year old, Covid-19 can F*ck up 20% of your lung capactiy permanently. NO THANKS.
I wear a p100 respirator if I go for supplies, here's my process.
Is my process overboard? ABSOLUTELY, by design. I need to shave my beard for more effective seal of respirator, might do that today. I've had a beard for 10 years now.....
- Put respirator on
- slip on "going out insulated crocks from garage" (only used for leaving the house)
- Put purell bottle in left pocket
- put just 1 credit card in left pocket, not wallet
- grab just the keyfob for truck, right pocket
- get in truck
- go to store,
- grab stuff
- go to checkout and use credit card, only use right pinky if need to sign.
- go to truck, purell hands, open tailgate, put stuff in truck.
- purell hands, get into truck
- drive home
- exit truck
- open tailgate, put items into front of garage
- grab clorox wipes, wipe down tailgate handle, driver door handle, door, steering wheel, dash, shifter, ECT.
- wipe down handle of one item, lift up wipe down other 5 sides of object, set down in clean spot, wipe down all objects bought in this manner.
- take out keyfob, credit card, purell bottle and wipe all those down.
- wipe down garage door knob to house, open door slightly.
- take off respirator and wipe that down.
- take off insulated crocks in garage.
- take off shirt, pants, socks inside out, wad up into ball.
- push door open with bare foot, put clothes ball directly into washing machine.
- Yell for wife to open door to bathroom and start the water for shower.
- Take shower
- Resume Quarentine at home and if I get sick......don't know what else I could have done other than being a bunker prepper.
Here's me and my respirator.
My beer fridge.
The hat i'm going to have Zazzle custom make for me.
. I'm one of many stuck having to go to work.
Well the good news is that unless you are treating someone medically, masks are of little value to you, so don't worry about that. The best advice is to keep your hands clean (hand sanitizer...or even better, soap and water) and don't touch your face until you can clean your hands after being out. Limit your time in public, and when you have to do it, maintain a 6ft buffer btw yourself and others. This has been proven to dramatically reduce the spread. This thing can be so much worse than anything you've ever had....there's just no way to know wether you will end up moderately ill (worse flu you've ever had) or severely ill and on a respirator...so please keep yourself safe, take it seriously until they find a way to treat this thing. I work in Healthcare and so too does my wife (family physician)....most days we feel like we woke up in a science fiction movie. Be safe my friends, we will get through this...
Thats good to know, though I did see a decent amount of people masked up sunday at the grocery store (but they could have been the ones hiding at home in their forts of TP). I think at times like checkout it is hard to keep that 6ft bubble.
yeah, i had one for wood working prior to all this. quarantining items you get is smart.
I just read the 17 day one as well. Scared me when I saw that. Up until that I thought that giving something 24 hours in non lab conditions was probably overkill, now I am not so sure anymore.
i disagree. The 6ft "suggestion" is to reduce the probability of the Covid-19 virus encapsulated in aerisolized(spelling?) saliva from winding up in your lungs. If you own a respirator already, WHY NOT WEAR ONE IN PUBLIC? because you feel silly when you're the only one.........
