What precautions are you taking for Corona Virus

[poacherjoe]

We have a freezer full of wild game and other goodies , Home canned fruits and veggies and a big vegetable garden so we don't need much from the outside world anyway. Now the TP shortage is going to be the chit's but I can wear a diaper I guess...

No . When my son played high school soccer he used to get an infection from sweat and running and such . Doctor told him to take a bath , add a cup of bleach to the water .

Sorry guys, I CAN be mistaken. It just seemed a little over the top to me.

Plenty of food in the chest freezer, plenty of wood for the new 36 Lang Hybrid, not a lot of TP and can't understand the reason why people are buying it buy the truck loads!!! Don't go out in any crowds, we spent the weekend doing house work and outside yard work. Assuming that this is going to go on for some time, I have plenty of work to do around the house and only have to make a run to the liquor/food store a few times.

So, did you eat that with red or white Jesus Juice?

I don't know a lot about this, but I'm wondering if it has something to do with the amount used.
Clorox is one of the two smells that make me sick, as in allergy.
I've been in a restaurant that washed their silverware in Clorox, and it made me sick.
However maybe mixed with hardly any in water can be a good cleaning thing (Not near me), because it doesn't bother Mrs Bear when she uses it.
I know some Heart Medicines are made from poison from Poisonous Snakes, when used in a special way & amount.
Don't quote me---I just find this interesting.

I'd have thought Russia would be on that list, loads of trees there.

Word is that China is a big importer of tree logs from Russia...

I saw a story about cutting up old towels and processing them like they used to do diapers. Not fun but it could get you by I suppose...

In my sons case he was getting a staph infection from equipment rubbing , sweating and running .
1 cup to a tub full of water . Yes straight bleach would be bad .

Just heard that the US government is considering "domestic travel restrictions"... but what that means has not been clarified.

I have hear of this recommendation as well. Some guys in the construction industry use it too to prevent staph. infections on their feet.

How many folks here are aware that in OCT 2019, a pandemic exercise was held at Johns Hopkins? This link shows the highlights of the conference and what was discussed. Interesting to say the least.

Been taught all my life to try and have one years supply of food and water. I'm in pretty good shape. I have added ammo to the list. Don't listen to talk on the street, listen to proper authorities. I am one that is described as "at risk". I'm staying in unless it's to the pharmacy, grocery if needed, and gas station.

Just came across an interesting news article that might help if shared with those who are not taking this thing seriously.

Here is the video from it (it's posted on youtube).



And here is a link to the article.

Italians send chilling coronavirus warning to Americans in new video

Apparently we are only 10 days behind Italy on the coronavirus curve.

So to stay within the topic here, I am staying Home!

Yep, we're in lockdown also John. If you remember I posted on the 11th that the reported cases in the US had just reached 1000 and that by the 17 we might be surprised by the number. I thought they might have doubled, silly me. Today we are at over 5000 reported cases, so if you want to think it's a joke go right ahead, just don't try to wreck this thread please. My partner just emailed me this morning to tell me one of our oldest and best friends has had Covid-19 for a week. He's my age, diabetic, and been undergoing some chemo awhile back. It's out there, and it's real, we'll see how things stand next week. RAY

Just wait to see what the numbers look like in a few days now that testing efforts have increased. 43 cases in my county. Was zero 8 days ago

Yep is on the rise here in AZ even though the testing is still not getting done, can't say why here, but things are about to get real very quickly.

To all my SMF brethren please stay home and stay safe!

If you do have to go out be smart, as there are still things I need to learn from all y'all (as they say down south) and things I want to share too.

Schools closed here. Restaurants were just ordered to close dining areas and serve pick up or drive through only, state wide. Grocery stores are short or out of most things everybody uses. Went to four stores yesterday. Meat dept is 99% empty. That's no exaggeration. Only things left were a couple of very high priced porterhouses and one pack of chicken gizzards. One market had covers pulled over the meat coolers, nothing to put in them.

Just don't panic people. Only go out when you need to

We should all learn from this and ready ourselves. We aren't as prepared as we think we are. It's always somewhere else, or on the news. A lesson for us all...

It was announced here in Pennsylvania that the state stores were closing at 9:00 PM today until this Coronavirus issue is over.

I went out this morning to stock up on the Platinum 7X Vodka for my evening martinis to imunize myself from this terrible virus. Had to go to two different state stores (we can only purchase liquor at state controlled dedicated stores) and needless to say not only was it complete pandemonium but there was none to be found. I had to settle for the cheap stuff. . .Nickolai!

I am impressed with and proud of the American drinking public.

Cheers,

John

Butte County Nor Cal here.

Went on a grocery run.
Our Raleys lets us order online then they put the list together and run it out to your truck. You make an appointment for pickup.
Order today (Tuesday) pickup on Saturday.

Ran by our Smart & Final and grabbed two 20lb twin bags of briquets...
80 lb.
Am I hoarding?
I left some...

All of us old timers could be recognized by our face masks and blue gloves.
