[Courtesty ping to Jane Long.]
We have a 6 ft fence around our property and the gate is always closed, and house is 250 feet from gate, so we never have uninvited guests, thankfully.
I am copying from the live Corona virus thread, Jane Long often has useful info, not sure who Dr. Ken Berry is but will check. Okay, checked:

Live thread, and I won’t post any more about this on the Q thread:

Folks....I listened to Dr Ken Berry’s excellent video about the precautions and preparations, for this corona virus.
I’ve (to the best of my ability) transcribed what Dr Berry said and recommended, as follows.....
Cough and sneezes, with virus particles, can reach up to 5 - 7 feet
Can live on surfaces for up to FIVE days.
Hard to control the spread.
Masks protect a little....more precautions are listed, at end...
Can effect ANY of your mucous membranes.....that is....eyes, nose, mouth, genital and anal areas.
Most dangerous place you can be, in an outbreak lie this - whether it becomes a pandemic, or not - is in a closed atmosphere.....like a bus, plane, train, large meeting, church, clinics, hospital....any where with large amount of people in close proximity.
There is no test or vaccine, or medication to treat for this, currently. Only supportive care.
You can be infectious/contagious up to 5 days, w/NO symptoms or fever.
Currently airports are screening w/thermography, but you can be contagious w/no fever.
Dangerous in the very young and old....especially those w/compromised immune systems.
SARS and ME virus were both corona viruses, but we don’t know virulence of this virus, yet.
Doesn’t want us to worry/panic but does want us to be concerned and prepared.
Gives a scenario of how you could become infected, and subsequently infect your family....you go to store....get sneezed on....feel great, come home...you’ve just infected your family.
Someone infected touches a door handle....you come along 2 - 3 days later and touch same handle.....you’re now infected.
Prepare yourself and your family....
Should this become more serious/pandemic...
1.) Stay home. Stay away from crowded areas and only have contact w/your immediate family. Specialists on MSM aren’t telling us this.
2.) At home, discourage or deny visitors. Use delivery services. (I say also take precaustions w/deliveries....spray down, use gloves, etc.). Use gloves and goggles any time outside. Keep door closed as much as possible to keep particles out.
3.) If you HAVE to go to work....wear (N95 or K2) mask.
4.) Wear wrap around safety glasses to protect eyes (conjunctive tissue).
5.) Wear gloves....disposable nitrol, in public.
6.) Wahs hands often....always w/water and soap...20 seconds. DON’T trust hand sanitizer. They can kill bacteria but NOT viruses.
7.) Avoid as much humanly contact, as possible. No crowds.
8.) Avoid clinics and hospitals for routine matters. Only go if life threatening and cannot treat at home.
Don’t panic....just prepare.

Excellent information from both you and Ransomenote. Thank you again for the new thread. Your last essay on this Corona virus was so good I’m printing it up and taking it to the cat show tomorrow to have some people read.
And hello all! I’ve been very bizzy. Our house is on the market and we will be moving to Colorado. (my kids moved there). Did I mention I need a buyer first?
I am reading as much as I can. I’m doing a lot of training with Gunner, yellow lab arm breaker; and Oliver, fka a border collie blend (not an ounce of border collie in him and who the heck uses the term blend??) is doing pretty good on the come command, but I haven’t tested him with an open gate yet. I also almost killed my 17 1/2 yr/o cat yesterday who is on a day to day basis, but she seemed to recover from complete paralysis when the vet said she’d like to do about $2000 worth of tests on my cat (yes I’m serious as a heartachoke)
I’m headed to a cat show tomorrow and Sun. I am slightly concerned as it is one of those large, enclosed places with LOTS of people. I will be taking gloves and wipes with me.
But I would like to pass on this information. Lysol spray is useless.
Those sanitary wipes you can get anywhere take 3 min to disinfect. dilute bleach takes 2 min to disinfect. Clorox Hydrogen Peroxide that I can only get on Amazon takes 30 seconds to a minute to disinfect. The Clorox Healthcare Hydrogen Peroxide comes in a white bottle with a green label. And it does say on the website that it kills the human Corona virus.
Thanks,
Petey
little jeremiah, thank you for taking the time to share this info.
