Coronavirus **personal experiences** thread

Impressive! :sunglasses:

some good info

Beautiful setting. Small brooks are so tranquil. As a kid we always walked the brooks. They are the center of life in the woods.

Do you see any way that ” manage your delivery ” actually does anything? I asked to change the delivery point once and was told the same thing, only the sender can. WTH.

I was in the local super market early this morning , It was pretty empty compared to a normal Saturday . My wife just needed one or two items but since not many people were in the store we bought lots of stuff.

We wore gloves , masks are impossible to find . I do bring a tiny pump spray bottle of alcohol to spray the carriage , my hands and whoever else gets too close.

Someone has asked the similar question as yours under the video, and I’d just quote the reply from the creator of this video”
“The Cochrane review quoted at @ 1:30 found: ”Surgical masks or N95 respirators were the most consistent and comprehensive supportive measures.” And look at the meta-analysis @ 2:01, it shows surgical masks were better than washing hands more than 10 times a day. It’s not an all or nothing deal, even N95 masks are not perfect and surgical masks are not useless. Both are better than no mask.”

As for my own view, I think the whole idea is to contain and block the droplet (which carries the virus) in the air instead of blocking the virus itself, because viruses are so tiny that even N95 could be fairly useless to block them.

Well nice one sb…. I had to jump on the vpn and watch it! the whole thing that is lol!
Love it. :wink:

Thanks, very good info.
Was a bit harder because I had to read the subtitles so I could not do something else at the same time, but it is worth it.

It’s an American classic for sure. :student: You’ll hear Americans quoting from Napoleon Dynamite and picking up veiled references to it like JaredM did, similar to what you see with Monty Python.

I’m really confused about your age :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve got to get out more. No clue. :frowning:

Unno. After trying 3 browsers, including the most vile POS called Edge, I was convinced it did absolutely nothing.

When repeatedly clicking, the part of the page above the heading stayed as-is, but below just shifted down/up by maybe half an ex, as if it would insert/remove a blank frame.

Maybe their webserver has a virus…

You’d think that with all this hoo-ha with people working from home, not being able to get things at work anymore, they’d make some provisions. Costs ’em nothing. If anything, if people would start making claims against the carrier (sender and/or recipient), it might end up actually costing them.

I haven’t had any need to try the FedEx delivery manager for a few months, but when I lasy did it worked for me. Same with UPS, I have used their app to have them hold a package at the local UPS store instead of delivery to home. One needs to choose to make changes at least 24 hours in advance though, I believe.

Reminded me of this:

Cheers, to the freedom to disagree. :beer: :beer:

So serene. Love it. It’s sweet that you and your wife and a “secret place.”

That sound reminds me of a chalet we used to have on a hill/mountain. In the spring or after rains, there would be small flows of water from the forest and down rocks, over mosses, and under ferns. It wouldn’t always be easy to see them but you could hear them over the sounds of the forest. I miss that.

I posted several different studies that compare the efficacy of N95, surgical masks, and common household material in filtering COVID-19 sized particles or smaller.

“COVID-19 is known to be AIRBORNE. China, Italy, and South Korea know it. The World Health Organization knows it. Studies conducted in America have shown it can be airborne for up to 3 hours. Our CDC knew it was airborne when it first started to be addressed in our country as they listed it as such on their website. Within 24 hours, they had downgraded their precaution guidelines from airborne to droplet, to reflect the paltry supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) available for healthcare workers.”

“This article is a MUST READ to understand the truth behind the no mask guideline/policy. Telling the public not to wear masks and not allowing hospital staff (except directly caring for ”identified” COVID patients) to wear face masks puts us all in great danger.“:Unmasking the Truth: CDC and Hospital Administrators Are Endangering Us All | by Cynical Xennial | Medium
