Hospitals use to have copper door handles at one time in the past.
Nah, no snarky smartass quips right now. Well, not yet.
’Though I did come across a fascinating point in one of my newsletters as to why the average schmo isn’t taking the sitch so seriously. Namely, the media makes everything a “crisis” (homelessness “crisis”, healthcare “crisis”, cyberbullying “crisis”, diaper-rash “crisis”, ad nauseam), that they just plainly’n’simply cried wolf way way way too many times.
Everything’s a “crisis” to the point where people are so jaded by all the “crises” du jour behind every hydrant and telephone-pole, that when there’s a real crisis, like the recently deceased actually rising from the dead and seeking out fresh brains, no one’ll believe it or take it seriously.
And then the media’s all like, “No, seriously, we really mean it this time! Honest!”. Yah, sure…
Tell me about it. :confounded: I’m almost about to toss out a new jar of Gnutella…
Sounds like you’ve got a similar efficient technique. I know, it sounds kind of silly to talk about it, but hey… not everybody learns. Some parents don’t teach well enough, or some people grow up a bit lazy on some things that nobody else ever sees. How can you know if you’re doing it well relative to what’s possible, if you never talk about it, right? 
It does work and it is enough. The trick is folding. If you have good enough quality toilet paper, it works. If you’re using cheap thin stuff, then it won’t hold up to the folding.
There is the regular runny. And there is the runny PWM. Big difference.
Thanks for sharing. Any tips on blowing my nose?
In our capitalist world, it would not be “CO$T EFFECTIVE”.
Just iffn you sneeze after having your nose pierced….get a bigger hanky. :person_facepalming:
I often wondered how those nose pins do in regards to boogers.
Not to mention some other parts that may get pierced.

I’ve been social distancing for years.
Way before it became popular.
Just wondering if anybody in the community lost his/her job because of the Corona crisis?
There are lay-off situations (according to OP):
_
Here, business like restauration, hotels, some stores and companies are taking some measures pulling to opposite sides: some that are trying to protect the employees, some that are being more inclined to fire people.
Government and the Parlament are discussing measures around that.
They are also discussing the increasing need of support to the medics, nurses, carers, police forces, and other professionals and people that are keeping the country alive.
Portugal is in emergency state since the middle of last week. 33 deaths confirmed due to Covid complications, more than 2300 confirmed cases, many people are in quarantine to comply with the “emergency state” rules.
Supermarkets are open and have strict rules to let people enter, as far as I know supplies are still in stock.
Some bakeries are open, some restaurants are open to take-away and home delivery.
Public transportation has taken desinfection measures are still going on, but with reduction of service.
Solidarity is also arising: diverse entreprises are adpating to produce protection materials for the medical staff and other carers; some are adapting to produce ventilators (soon to be); some restaurants are taking food for free to the medical staff in hospital, and many other things are happening within the communities.
Unfortunately many people are still suffering with lack of support, namely older people, homeless, and many others. Also,we still face some problems to keep classes going on in the different education levels (not everyone has a computer or internet at home, and many children needs parental supervision to access computers and to what teachers send to them).
Also unfortunately, many stupid people (nationals, foreigners, old people, youngsters) still gathers in some spaces implying that police needs to take action and to apply fines. Fortunately that is a small part of the population…
We are not (yet) in a completely restrictive mood as the government wants to take measures according to what is needed and according to what is the response of population. However, I fear that many irresponsible people may still do the “normal” life and put in danger what others are doing at home.
As always, stay safe folks, whoever you are, wherever you are… :+1:
BTW: sb please don’t close the thread! We, members, should know, by now, what is the thread’s topic! Stick to that…
So true! I was always wondering how the others are doing it. But I’ve never expected to learn it here
I’m using a Rossmann toilet paper which I don’t fold at all. Two wipes per square, diagonally. Or just one wipe per square, depends on my mood.
For the people into face masks.
