You can never be too cautious. Fortunately I have a large supply of extra large ones just in case.
I think the toilet paper thing is in case there is a mass quarantine.
People want enough supplies for 2 weeks in case they aren’t allowed to leave their house.
I’m shocked so many people aren’t getting this...
Vitamin D the happy dream pill.
“I enjoy oases of sanity that deal with the Wuhan Virus in a level-headed way.”
Agreed. It’s no big deal so long as it doesn’t affect you.
You get 700-800IU from a multivitamin, and then I supplement with a 1000IU gelcap.
I also try to get some D in my diet, maybe in eggs or a little fatty fish.
They say you should keep it under 4000IU.
Any idea of the daily dosage that you're taking that "turned the light on"?
There are not a lot of people using 36 rolls of toilet paper every two weeks. Even when I had two teenage girls living with us...we did not use THAT much.
I buy my tp in mass quantities anyway simply because that way I don’t forget and we never run low. I worked in sales for a chemical company that did commercial bathroom products too about 30 years ago. I got used to buying a case of tp at a time then. Now I make 1 run and buy at least 10 double roll 12 packs at a time. lol
Amazing... tell me... are they made in China?
I had trouble with the “fact checking” in this article, and I’m not an advocate of any of the things that they “debunk”. The effort to stem overreaction is commendable, but “fact checking” like this is more pedantic than useful, I think. Complacency and panic are both bad things.
“There’s no evidence ‘high-dose’ Vitamin C can stop Coronavirus” — not specifically, but there is evidence (albeit not definitive) that it reduces the severity of viral infections, generally.
“It’s not a good idea to make your own hand sanitiser” because of the lack of emollients, apparently. So, add emollients.
“The government doesn’t recommend not shaking hands”, but it may be a prudent measure in the future.
“Children don’t need to be removed from schools”, but they may need to be in the future.
An economical and excellent way to get Vitamin D is to go out in the sun during high sun time for 30 minutes.
If you time it with a 30 minute walk, it is a twofer.
Also, you will get free Dopamine, which will improve your mood and outlook on life and help if you have the blues or Parkinson’s.
A younger relative complained, he didn’t have time to do this. His mother, my wife is an RN. She told him to drive home during his lunch hour 5 min. Then, he, his wife and their dog can walk and have lunch in the good daylight. They take doggie treats with them.
He started last month, and his wife drives to his work place sometimes. Regardless, they and their dog walk while talking and eating in the sunlight.
I’m not sure why anybody is shaking hands now. It isn’t a necessary task, so even if the risk is low of picking up a particular virus from another hand, it isn’t zero percent.
I’m not stopping doing things I enjoy doing, but I have stopped shaking hands.
I went shopping last night. They were out of lysol, spray and wipes.
They had plenty of bleach.
They had adequate supplies of toilet paper, and plenty of tissues and paper towels.
They had a good supply of rubber gloves, but in small packs, and kind of expensive.
Plenty of gatorade and bottled water.
I did not look for cough syrup. That’s a good idea to pick some up on my next visit — I am slowly building up a supply of things I might need if I have to quarantine.
What your experience tells me is this — I should start considering buying Clorox Stocks while they’re down (Symbol: CLX ).
Caliph Baraq....
What amazes me is that there was a run on toilet paper (which isn’t something you need extra of for the virus, although nobody wants to be caught without it), but NOT facial tissue, which everybody should be carrying around now, so if they sneeze or cough, they can do it into the tissue and then throw it away.
President Obama is bowing over too far. That just is not good form.
That kind of bow from Obama isn’t going to help. He STILL shook the Emperor’s hand.
It is when you consider how he kowtowed to all our enemies.
