Coronavirus **personal experiences** thread

^^ Some good common sense there thanks. Here is some more non fear mongering info about someone who has worked with the coronavirus for 30 years. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/expert-says-coronavirus-epidemic-should-be-contained-within-a-few-weeks/ar-BBZo2pA

I donā€™t particularly want to get it, but if I do, I know Iā€™ll be off work for a little and thatā€™s it. Iā€™ve survived Influenza B when I was in worse health than I am now, so Iā€™ve got no real worries about this.

If you take care of yourself , eat good food , overdose of vitamins when you get flu, in good health , you should be ok

Iā€™ve you donā€™t then your in trouble

Touch wood Iā€™ve not had a bad cold or flu for a few years , I think Iā€™ve got a nice immune system. Intend to take double or triple the vitamin daily allowance when I had glue or feel like Iā€™m getting flu ,
Donā€™t get me wrong Iā€™ve proberly had flu in the last few years but I handle it well , still goto work , and carry on as normal , but with good rest ,good food , good vitamins and saunas !

Like a few others have said , I think the paid media are blowing it up , big phama companyā€™s will be lapping it up right now , expect corona virus flu meds in the next 2 weeks !

And for people without (small) children of their own: stay away from those walking Petri dishes.

If we count the thousands of infections( reported by the media), the relationship with mortality itā€™s not very high.But influence is easily transmitted,
donā€™t know if Germs survive during shipment,better not buy for a while until is end

12 parcels in the post from china :person_facepalming:

but can germs and viruses survive being in a cargo plane at low temps, minus 30oC ?

ill wear latex gloves and clean the stuff that comes with some anti bactiria and some alcohol

and maybe steam clean

or is this to far!

i heard the chinesee holidays will extendā€¦ā€¦so,no sense to order next two weeks or soā€¦

Iā€™d touch a light from China today with no hesitations. The thing is hygiene - wash your hands properly before eating anything or putting them near your mouth and itā€™s sorted.

Damn straight.

I mean people should be doing that anywayā€¦ thatā€™s kinda how this sort of things spreads.

Also donā€™t forget to wash the flashlight with soap and hot water.

you have to be sure they are 100% waterproof and well close

Ainā€™t it better to use alcohol or UV waves?

I think some viruses can survive 48 hours outside the body and on synthetic materials. Ie. Genuine leather should be a way more unhygienic than synthetic leather, as viruses and microbes thrive much batter on natural surfaces compared to synthetic ones.

Yes alcool or a disinfectant should be better
Some also said vapor but not experience

maybe tin foil hat can help?

so is anyone worried buying a light from china now? i amā€¦ who knowsā€¦

Iā€™m not.

better dead than not to get my next chosen flashlights asapā€¦ā€¦

my flashlight order (Astrolux HL01 is now being returned to Banggood for some reason tracking status says ā€œreturn on orderā€.
