These confronting images show the cats and dogs which have reportedly been thrown from tower blocks in China...One dog was found dead after allegedly being thrown from a tower block in the Heyuan Guohe Garden area of Tianjin City in China’s Hebei Province. Local media report the pooch was thrown from the upper floors of a tower block at 4am and that it smashed the sunroof of a car before ending up on the ground...Reports state the sound of the dog hitting the car woke neighbours up as it sounded like a tyre explosion...Reports also state five cats were thrown to their deaths in the city of Shanghai, with locals believing they were pets as they had smooth and clean fur.

When working I had Chinese or Asian customers.....always demanding and rude. They see you as “servants” . They appear to have difficulty understanding the term 'respect'.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to carry a few paper towels around with you for hand drying. A lot of restrooms don’t have any. Only these things:

“Those Hand Dryers in Public Restrooms Are Actually ‘Bacteria Bombs’

Researchers say hot-air dryers blow all sorts of germs back onto your hands. The bacteria aren’t necessarily dangerous, but paper towels are a better way to dry off...”

And gross.

We shot livestock in the head while they were happily finishing a bucket of their favorite food and *then* hung them.

We were kind and respectful.

YMMV

I always hated those thing and do not use them but had no idea they were that bad.

Just like when a momma bird finds a chick with a disease. Learn to fly or die. Humans apparently are not that far removed from birds.

In order for your metaphor to work it would have to be said humans throwing their own children from the upper story window. Humans throwing animals bears no relation to the above.

Don't give the Chinese any ideas.

“...humans throwing their own children from the upper story window...”

Isn’t that the governments job?

Islam is a scum philosophy. There are good people who happen to be muslims but they are bad muslims as they don’t follow the precepts of Islam.

Since you are a new Yorker, should I say you are the same as the drug lords in Jimenez? That would be equally silly as your statement about all the Chinese

[444Flyer]

Same here. LOL

That Healthline article says some of those air dryers have traces of bacteria found in FECES. A big reason to avoid them.

2/1

“Coronavirus lurking in feces may reveal hidden risk of spread”

Pets are just like children to some.

[eartick]

You mean you hung them to death after you shot them? Must be a bad shot.....lol. MMMV

[Salamander]

OFFS.

Shot them dead in the head and they never even felt it.

Then hang.

Do you recall hospitals during the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s? I’ll continue to wash these hands when needed, avoid tattoos, avoid body jewelry, avoid drugs, and try to get enough sleep in order to avoid hospitals that resemble sideshows. As for sleep, we’ve always needed some improvement in regards to sleep.

It takes a few minutes for hand sanitizer to do less good than 20 seconds with soap and warm water. Proper technique is also required with the sanitizer. As for adequate hand washing facilities for busy periods, one would think we could afford those by now. And what happened to the white uniforms?

[familyop]

We need places called sanitariums—places that smell like alcohol and have, sharp, healthy looking, clean cut staff. ;)

I was reading that the hand sanitizer works in 20 seconds. (Washing is still better.) But the writer said something like “But most people squirt a bit on their hands, rub it around for 5 seconds and they think they are good.”

I was surprised when researching Clorox Wipes. Use on one surface, and the surface has to remain wet with the wipe’s contents for FOUR minutes to be the most effective.

I did know about not using a wipe on too many surfaces (just spreads the virus). But I didn't realize the four minutes.

I read where isopropol alcohol is good against this virus, and iirc it breaks it down in 10 seconds or so. Vinegar works to a degree, but is only 80% effective. Bleach is good, but I don't have the numbers on it.

Thank you for the link to the map. It's interesting that the recovery trend changed immediately after the many public comments about deaths numbering greater than recoveries.
