That's not a very pretty sight.
This is sad. I hate this crap!! I have to go shopping tomorrow. I have it down to once a week. I'll be wearing my 3M N95 mask and latex gloves. I'm so very grateful I have 8 of these masks leftover from a paint job a few years back. The gloves are from my normal garage supply. Proper masks and gloves are almost impossible to find right now.Had another local death here today. Young man was 35 years old, good health and ran 5 miles a day. It's not an old person virus, it will kill anyone. Stay safe and don't be a statistic.
Thats political ? . This is how we eat. Its called Environmental. And its a big problem.Are we really going to get political with this ?
Please Sir, I asked you once not to bring politics into this. This is a serious situation. It's not like I'm stockpiling masks and gloves. What do you think the health care workers are using them for? It's to prevent getting the virus. I'm just making do with what I got. Making political jokes is not helping this at all.Especially for health workers as regular joes waste them by wearing them grocery shopping.

This from the FDA:
"N95 Respirators Not for Use by the Public
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not recommend that the general public wear N95 respirators to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including coronavirus (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However, as a reminder, CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions, such as hand washing, to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases.
For the general American public, there is no added health benefit to wear a respiratory protective device (such as an N95 respirator), and the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low."

Stay safe and follow the advice of health authorities.
NICE!Again, we are trying to keep this thread on topic about the current corona virus pandemic and the effects on our members here. Sharing relevant information is acceptable, but some of the jabs at other members have been removed.
Words to live by now and forever.Well to put simply our gov has failed us. We only have our selves to rely on.
And Russia and the Saudi's are killing your fracking industry. What is it $30 plus a barrel to get it out of the ground ?. And it costs the Saudis $10 ? . You guys have alot on your plate right now.I am of the opinion that we have sold our independence. We no longer manufacture anything in this country. All manufacturing has shifted to China. This is a good wake up call.
I just threw up in my mouth. . . .
Well since normal for a male is now 97.9 you are half a degree high. So please self isolate so it does not grow over 100!
Wish I could follow your advice. I work in a hospital. I try not to take my work home. Haha. It has new meaning now.This is sad. I hate this crap!! I have to go shopping tomorrow. I have it down to once a week. I'll be wearing my 3M N95 mask and latex gloves. I'm so very grateful I have 8 of these masks leftover from a paint job a few years back.

It's not the best solution but it's better than nothing. When I get home I hang the mask for 4 days in the garage to kill any possible virus so I can reuse it. All my clothes are immediately washed in hot water and a hot shower at least twice a day. I have wipes, bleach and alcohol to wipe everything down I touch. The food gets washed and packages all wiped down.
My mother in law is 82 and my wife has only one kidney. I'm not taking any unnecessary risks.
You might notice I did not quote your last post.it was a general reply to all. I was referring to some posts that were bashing our leadersThats political ? . This is how we eat. Its called Environmental. And its a big problem.
