I have clothes in quarantine that I wore to grocery. Now I wonder should I have plastic bagged them. I did react to soon. I thought the article was going to lay out some special face washing procedures. It is a task. I wear a mask in public places, then news says the mask doesn’t work. But again it does work, it’s just not 100% effective. Some big national official said quit buying the masks. It is a moving target. It is not an impossible task. I have been locked down for 10 days now. You start by disinfecting your home. You clean all of the door handles, faucets, fridge handles, and all other surfaces you commonly touch. You don't go out except to get food or exercise. When you go out, you be careful not to touch anything you don't absolutely have to touch and definitely don't touch your face. Wear rubber gloves and a mask if you want to. Then when you return home, the first thing you do before touching anything is wash your hands. Any items you brought home with you either get disinfected or go into a closet or other area where they can sit undisturbed for at least 24 hours in case the virus was on them. Obviously perishables go in the fridge. Btowner, Former_Fan, oldschool, and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor do the car companies need the president’s permission to move forward, the AP said. Ford and GM have yet to start production, and it would take them months, if not longer, to begin production. Elon Musk provided California with a load of ventilators yesterday. I don't know if they were made in the Tesla factory or not but he somehow got them.

I saw some show on television last night where they were showing ventilators being produced by some company not in the business, another making n-95 masks, and someone printing face protection masks elsewhere...

We can't go on like this for months. If China is being truthful about their current state, then there is light at the end of the tunnel, and we will have to wait ot out a few months. This is where relief checks and grace periods from lenders, utilities etc will be critical. But if this only continues to get worse we will be in big trouble, as going back to normal life would be catastrophic. The logical next step after the 2 week soft quarantine will be an all out mandatory lockdown if the curve isn't flattened some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilerTitanHybrid Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 This whole scene has been great for my lifestyle. I go out to get gas and it's priced fairly low now. I go to the grocery store and there is hardly anyone in there. Easy to move around. And when I get in my vehicle to go do both of those, the traffic on the roads is like it was 20 years ago, or more. I'm buying stocks again lower than thought possible weeks ago! It's just great, because it's like this whole global virus thing was done to benefit me Al Franken OTH!

The logical next step after the 2 week soft quarantine will be an all out mandatory lockdown if the curve isn't flattened some. It's supposed to be three weeks or so after people truly start social distancing that the new cases work their way through and the rate slumps. But, again, that's with true adoption by the public at large. It'll be longer than that in the US and it may not really flatten the curve much because of all the activity still ongoing. And it may not flatten the curve until it's already too late to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed (this seems highly likely). It's been months in China and they went next level with shut down, plus it was largely contained to one area. The US has it all over and people aren't interested in social distancing. We're fucked. That's my expert opinion. ChemEngr79, Former_Fan, IsntLifeFunny, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my expert opinion. So many people fail to see the severity of the issue. If everyone would just sacrifice a few weeks of their lives and look at the big picture here, things could be much different. We should have been on mandatory lockdown from day one. Only allowing for getting food and necessities and medical care only. It would be a small sacrifice to save lives and get live back to normal faster. Because of our own greed and selfishness, this is going to get far worse before it gets better. Number9, oldschool, Starkiller, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm legit panicked. Just keep an eye on her temperature and any shortness of breath. If it is allergies the coughs will become productive with mucus. I know the pollen is very high right now and a lot of people are going to panic about the normal seasonal allergies. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More states are expected to follow suit.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
