Since you had them on before you washed them, wouldn’t you have already been exposed to any viruses on them? I think you’re overthinking this. Just wash your clothes on warm with lots of soap (do an extra rinse cycle if needed) and dry them. You can only do so much.

Here in my county of Lycoming, two covid deaths have been reported.

But, by whom and to whom?

Our County Coroner says in an interview that he has seen zero deaths and reported zero deaths.

So who is making up these stats and why?

Ouch!

I expect more townships and cities will do the same.

It is a statistics game. Is the concentration of soap high enough to kill the viruses? As long as you are not skimping on the soap and water I wouldn’t worry about it too much. If you are not exposed to a high concentration of virons you aren’t going to pick up the virus from doing your laundry, but wash your hands - with soap - after handling clothes you wore out in the world. Even between the washer and dryer.

I know it’s super paranoid, but I don’t even touch the outside of clothes I wore out shopping more than necessary to jump in the shower. The wife is vulnerable so I am pretty careful.

When a person dies under normal, explained circumstances, a coroner or medical examiner is not involved. The pronouncing doctor determines the cause and signs the death certificate. When cause of death is suspicious/unknown, or is a suicide, homicide, poisoning, an accident, etc, then the Coroner/ME investigates the death, determines cause and signs the death certificate.

Anybody noticed the massive slowdown of the mail? I see stuff sitting in POs for days that normally would just scan-in-scan-out passing through. And some packages are mysteriously disappearing in transit at a higher than normal rate. Sigh.

I know they are busy and it must be chaos with everybody now shopping online so much more.

I heard the mail will sit somewhere for three days before delivering it.

” Beginning April 23rd (Thursday) our facility will be going to One-way Aisles. One-way aisles are designed to increase social distancing and give customers more space on each aisle. There will be floor decals in place to help indicate the direct traffic flow. You will find green “Shop This Way” decals indicating the entrances of each aisle. You will find red “Do Not Shop This Way” decals to tell opposing traffic not to enter the aisle.”

So you get caught going the same speed and direction as a vector and you’ll be exposed for an extended period of time.

Really smart.

This is somewhat disturbing. I'll let people draw their own conclusions as to why the virus should not be allowed to spread for heard immunity, specifically based on the asymptomatic claims.

Chest CT Findings in Cases from the Cruise Ship “Diamond Princess” with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Of 104 cases, 76 (73%) were asymptomatic, 41 (54%) of which had lung opacities on CT. Other 28 (27%) cases were symptomatic, 22 (79%) of which had abnormal CT findings. Symptomatic cases showed lung opacities and airway abnormalities on CT more frequently than asymptomatic cases [lung opacity; 22 (79%) vs 41 (54%), airway abnormalities; 14 (50%) vs 15 (20%)]. Asymptomatic cases showed more GGO over consolidation (83%), while symptomatic cases more frequently showed consolidation over GGO (41%). The CT severity score was higher in symptomatic cases than asymptomatic cases, particularly in the lower lobes [symptomatic vs asymptomatic cases; right lower lobe: 2 ± 1 (0-4) vs 1 ± 1 (0-4); left lower lobe: 2 ± 1 (0-4) vs 1 ± 1 (0-3); total score: 7 ± 5 (1-17) vs 4 ± 2 (1-11)].

“How exactly are they going to drink that wine? Lol.”

Also note that the guy has an N95, so he’s safe. But the N95 has a one-way, unfiltered, outlet valve (the type used for spray painting), so he’ll be blasting the babe with virons.

Conclusion: She can do better.

I think the big outcome from ‘herd immunity’ to this virus will be a major decrease in male fertility and T levels.

I think that’s the desired goal of this virus.

The mortality issues weren’t planned.

My working theory is that pretty much everyone has antibodies, if we look hard enough, given that the virons were racing through this country since January (if not much earlier). The question really is whether these people who test positive have ENOUGH antibodies to prevent an infection if again exposed, and to a higher concentration.

Easy way to find out. Get some FluBros with antibodies and send them to a Coronavirus ward for an hour or so, unmasked, and see if they get sick. If they do get sick, maybe they’ll learn something from the experience.

Personally, I’m sick of lockdown.

I just want to know what, exactly, will be the long term outcome of ‘herd immunity’.

Will my husband start cross dressing? Will I ever be a grandmother?

etc.

Bummer. Sounds like you have a FluBro there.

Maxine Water’s sister is dying for Wuhan Flu

I wonder if she would let her sister die rather than try Trump’s drug.

Meanwhile, try Genentech’s cytokine storm drug

So much political agenda, so little time. Both overreporting numbers and underreporting numbers.

It will come down to ‘did you know anyone who died during flu season in the past several years? Did you know anyone who died during the chinese virus outbreak? compare/contrast’ and form an individual conclusion as to numbers.

“I just want to know what, exactly, will be the long term outcome of ‘herd immunity’...Will my husband start cross dressing? Will I ever be a grandmother?”

I know the feeling. For herd immunity, it all depends on a vaccine. Without it, we’ll all, eventually, get the virus, and those of us who can handle it (the young, those not taking blood pressure pills or insulin, and the lucky) will survive it. As to cross-dressing - that’s a choice we all have to make. As to being a grandmother, same here - our kids are basically frozen-in-place and cannot become ‘productive’ members of society (sorry if that context bothers you, Greta, but we want to see future generations on this planet), so we just have to wait.
