brilac Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I see people buying it all at the store. It's extremely selfish, and we need to think about others. Where I am at, you cannot find hand sanitizer and other things at stores, and some stores have put a limit on it. It is a State of Emergency where I am at. And we are all in this together, so going out and buying everything, stocking and stocking, leaving nothing for everyone else, is not the thing to do. For anyone who wants to make their own sanitizer: 2/3 rubbing alcohol (71% or better) 1/3 aloe vera 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) By far the majority of people who get Covid-19 will just suffer standard Flu symptoms and recover well. The exceptions are those with underlying conditions and those over 65. For example, those who have been life long smokers will find this virus a real challenge. Also those with asthma or respiratory issues. Also those with high blood pressure and heart conditions. The good news is we have an excellent health care system and that system theoretically learned a lot from the SARS outbreak in Toronto. The real problems with come in 3rd world countries with poor health care systems... for example Iran is seeing really high mortality rates. (part of that may be a result of the US sanctions against them which have meant chronic shortages of drugs and health care supplies) I shudder to think how many people may die if the virus gets established in India or Pakistan. The Flu has a mortality rate of between .025 and .05 of a percent... but Covid-19 has a current World Health mortality rate of 3.8 percent. Typically a Billion people get infected with the Flu every year, and of those between 250,000 and 650,000 die. If a Billion people get infected with Covid-19 and the current predicted death rate holds, there will be a huge number of deaths.... around 30-35 million. The thing that pisses me off is that this was all unnecessary. Covid-19 comes from animals... in particular Bats. So does the SARS virus that killed thousands in the 2000's. In fact the two viruses probably come from the same cave in the province. They were both spread by people catching wild animals like Bats, and keeping them together alive in 'Wet' markets where they are slaughtered and sold to satisfy the weird tastes of some Chinese. After SARS the Chinese government should have cracked down on these 'Wet' markets, there were laws passed, but the Chinese Communist Party is corrupt and officials looked the other way in exchange for bribes. Now the Chinese people and the rest of the world have to deal with a virus which is going to be incredibly damaging, both to the lives of people and also to the economy of the world. Chinese 'Wet' market... go to 1:00 if you have a strong stomach. Edited March 7, 2020 by *Buzzsaw* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a southern thing.... ....I was just at the Safeway here in PR and there was lots available. It was even on sale.... Anyway, we have nothing to worry about, because president Pinocchio is on the job: Quote "Anybody that wants a test can get a test," Trump said Friday despite concerns over delayed distribution of testing kits. "And the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect and the transcript," he added in an apparent reference to his phone call with Ukraine's president, which led to his impeachment. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/newspolitics/trump-praises-cdc-amid-coronvirus-outbreak-calls-washington-governor-a-snake-during-visit-to-agency/ar-BB10Rghr?li=AAggNb9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to find some yesterday that was on sale too though; I was down to my final roll.

Popular Post smokes Posted March 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) I am hearing a lot of panic buying going on in the United States so with the way things are going, this may reach you guys over there very soon. If there is a chance you may need to be quarantined or lock down, make sure you stock up on the essentials that you know you will need for a while since there maybe a chance you don't want to go out for a while. Freezer food and dry or canned food is best because you can store it for a long time. Don't go scarfing down all your food and essentials in the beginning. Make sure you ration as if you will be in it for the long haul. If you squander then you will be good for the first couple of weeks but after that what you gonna do? Make sure you quietly buy a little bit because panic buying will happen soon. I have followed this and that seems to be the routine. Keep everyone you want to be with in the same area, don't make the same mistake I did by dropping the kid off to grandpa for the week. Make sure your loved ones are close. And very importantly, make sure you have things to do because if you are quarantined at home. The thing that will bother people the most is the boredom. I'm lucky to have my PS4 or I'd be driving myself crazy. Make sure you have activities that will keep you busy. Older members should remember that this hits the older crowd the most so always wear a facemask. This virus can transmit through touch feces or urine so make sure you wash your hands a lot and be mindful of the things you touch or more importantly what others may have touched. If you are young and healthy, you will most likely feel this as a flu but if you have underlying problems then make sure you are extra cautious. I sincerely hope you don't need this but a few tips from someone who is living this. Edited March 8, 2020 by smokes 1 3 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
