Lettuce and leafy veggies seem to be the weak spot and bleach won’t help:

https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2020-03-16/how-to-wash-fresh-vegetables-fruits-during-coronavirus-crisis

Washing can reduce microbial populations a hundredfold, but it’s impossible to eliminate all microbes from uncooked lettuce and other produce — they can evade even heavily chlorinated water by hiding in microscopic pores and cracks in the plant tissue. Raw salads are therefore not advised for people who are especially vulnerable to infections.

Aha. I thought they threatened to just go in and arrest people. That was even better, if it’s what they did.

Clip board. I needed clip boards.

You simply need to act like you belong there. Works a lot of the time. Until it doesn’t. Lol.

“The RNA is never exactly copied right ? Always a couple bits off.”

The other way around. RNA and especially DNA are almost always accurately copied, but on occasion not, else cancers and mutations would be the norm, not the exception. But in trillions of such copying attempts, errors are bound to happen.

Keeping myself safe so I can help all those child-starved women in the post-apocalypse world repopulate.

“...Actually, I’m at the point of totally ignoring numbers, other than deaths and total infections per country (and only to some extent) - and I don’t care who posts them (although almost always FluBros, to justify their rationalizations). Testing is so inconsistent that it’s a waste of time. ...”
**********************************************************
Of course, as more testing and more types of testing (e.g., serum COVID-19) send the death rate into a continuing downward direction, it’s VERY understandable why you would do that.

“After cutting losartan dosage by 50% my BP readings have been down by 10-15% lol Must be a fluke.”

Nice, but weird. Anyway, you get to build up inventory now, assuming that prescription hasn’t changed.

Every time I look at leafy greens in the produce section these days, all I can think about is e-coli, especially since that “Don’t eat romaine from anywhere” thing.

Best to grow your own and they all do fine as a potted plant.

I grew some sort of greens a few years ago and it kept popping up for another two years on it’s own like a perennial. I had let some of it go to seed. It ended up being an area I mowed regularly and it still popped up. It was some kind of cross but I don’t think it was a hybrid. I’ll have to see if I can find my old seed packets and find out what it was.
