I'm in the 'tired of the hype' group.


Keep Calm


And carry on as normal.

How to keep calm.

Here is useful data from Italy. It is not a problem for people under 50 but highly lethal for people over 70.

The older you are, the more 'whipped out' you are and probably more sedate too. Me, I farm and I'm physically active. I'm not a couch potato except in the winter...lol

Italy has it bad, obviously.

Get em while you can...I can see it getting like the old west were everyone has the IR therm. gun on their hips...people out in public will get used red laser dots on their persons...

Infrared Thermometer - The Home Depot

I have had one for some time. I use it currently to keep tabs on my amplifiers temprature when I run it hot and heavy. They are very useful for a lot of things.

IMO anyone else on that flight should sue this SOB for endangerment and mental anguish etc...
on top of that he should be criminally charged with endangerment and sentenced to the max allowable...!

How do they work as a tire thermometer? It seems like a good way to check for front end problems before I trash yet another set of tires.

The other consideration; they may choose to spend their resources on younger people.

All the rubbing alcohol at stores is sold out,,

When is someone going to realize grain alcohol at the liquor store is perfectly functional for this??

Everclear 190 Proof Vodka


George T. Stagg, Jr. 140 proof


Bruichladdich X4 184 proof


Spirytus Delikatesowy 192 proof

The good thing about this,, if your hands are not contaminated,, this stuff can make self quarantine MUCH more fun,,,

Bottom line here if if I succumb to the Wuhan Flu I you won't see me post anything again......:laughing: I'll be 'up there' hopefully, watching down and chuckling to myself about the stupidity of humans, in general.

As I understand it, with that kind of attitude, you'll have to keep your feet in the fire for a little while, first. :laughing:

Or only hear what they want to read

Or only see what you're saying.

That graphic helps explain a lot. Italy is full of old people. 0.0 under the age of 30. That is amazing. I am in the 2.7% group.

I and wife are in the 9.6 group . . . the higher end of it (age wise). We are not around people that much except the wife and her church attendance . . . got to discuss that with her

The churches (most) here have cancelled services for the next several weeks.

I had never thought of using it for that, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Yeah, if you are in that group, you might need to rethink some of your activities around people. As you can see by that graphic your mortality rates go up pretty sharply. As of course even with the "regular" flu. Remember it kills thousands every year and for the same reasons. Immune system not as viable any more and you come down with pneumonia and then you might die.

With hand sanitizer unavailable and the good liquor expensive, what else is out there?

Dairymen have all sorts of wash solutions. Are there any that are pure ethyl alcohol, or suitable as hand sanitizer?

I think they use a lysol based solution, not alcohol.

As I've mentioned before, good old soap and water is great. In summer I keep soap and a large sized coffee container with water in each truck, and always have a towel there. It's pretty nice to be able to wash my hands if I need to.

 

[/pine]

Soap and water is the best thing at home...reserve the sanitizer and wipes for when the soap and water are unavailable...

Empty dish soap containers make decent water bottles for keeping in a car etc...

I'm sure they will be explaining the ratio to make disinfectant from household bleach etc...

Yep, we have our pneumonia shots up to date, but yes I need to speak to the wife about just that because she also goes to her prayer groups, bible study and the such.

Ky’s first covid-19 patient has fully recovered and has been sent home. We are up to 12 cases now.
