Virus Makes Lobsters So Cheap That Sellers Face a Fatal Blow

Hey guys lets talk about the virus not about one another. Different opinions exit but this isn't the place to debate them.

Take it to the 'Friendly Politics' thread if you just have to.

I bet 'cruise lines' are offering killer deals. Don't know of anyone with half a brain that would book a cruise on a floating Petri dish....

People whove recovered from the virus deserve a vacation.

Here we go again, can we say, Corona Virus #4?

Yes folks, please do not shut this one down . . .

Maybe folks washing their hands, sneezing into tissues or elbows and staying home when their sick will finally catch on again. It seems we'd not be in this boat if we were doing these things already. (At least from what the CDCs website suggests helps prevent this and the flu)

I almost sneezed in public but then thought of the fallout and mentally stifled it. Anybody know a good way to stop a good sneeze which now might cause a panic?

Place the side of your finger across the under side of your nose and gently push up.

I'll practice that at home to see if it's effective for me.

If I got it bad I might have to pinch the end of my nose to stop it. Was taught these things in Army Basic Training in 1971.

Just carry a clothes pin :laughing:

That works too. Until the DI slaps it off your face.

I find it impossible to stifle a cough. No matter what I try it makes it ten times worse.

Only time I tried that, I sneezed anyways and just about blew my ears and eyes out.

More prunes. .

I used to be addicted to them. I just couldn’t go without them.

Yep. Then I end up coughing for two minutes trying to recover from choking....

No, you misunderstood. I'm not talking about closing the nose and holding the sneeze in. I'm talking about preventing the sneeze from happening. Pinching the end of the nose diverts those nerve ends in your nose from triggering a sneeze.

Me too. I have a chronic cough from allergies and post nasal drip. Now when I'm out and about, I feel like a leper from the glances I am getting.

I know that if I try to suppress a sneeze, something is going to come out of at least one of my other orifices and it is either going to be embarrassing or hurt! My sneezes almost always come in pairs unless I really have an attack!
