NEXT PHASE Coronavirus could kill 3.3million people in Africa if it becomes new epicentre, UN report warns

I found out from a neighbor that the neighbor on my other side has it.

My windows will be staying shut for the time being and I am wearing a mask when I go outside in case they come out.

Except you may not know if someone in the house has it or not until it’s too late.

That's quite possible. For some people, their COVID-19 status will be known or the risk of infection assessed to be low that they make the decision to run AC.

I have central AC, but go for the open windows approach as long as I am home.

The agency reiterated advice to thoroughly wash hands after returning from the grocery store, and once again after putting groceries away. The FDA also urged shoppers to purchase enough food for one or two weeks on trips to the store, and avoid hoarding... Fresh fruits and vegetables, including those with inedible rinds, should always be scrubbed thoroughly under running water before eating. Canned goods should have their lids cleaned before opening. It's important to regularly clean and sanitize kitchen counters and other food preparation areas with disinfectant such as Lysol, the FDA notes.

Then why the great long list to clean hands, counters, packaging and food for everything under the sun except CV? Contradicting themselves, again. Who's paying them to say this? Someone definitely is. Follow the money.

Yes, saw that. She was only wearing one glove.

Also saw her leading him around. Whipped. Such a shame.

[RummyChick]

These are all things one should do all the time and it was posted as such with a blurb uindicating that...
HOWEVER, did they have such a warning before?
I don’t know

It’s just something I always do anyway. I also wash my pop bottles but often just rinse them. Should really use soap.

THe pic I posed yesterday of the shopper who pulled his mask down so he could eat his snack with his gloves while in checkout cracks me up..and shows how people just dont understand

We’re going to be hearing about disabilities caused by CV when they can admit to it in a few years just like we heard about the cancers 9/11 caused.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11423846/son-claims-ate-father-dismember-new-york-city/ “The coronavirus crisis had forced father and son to live together in the Brooklyn home.” Another article said “cooped up”. Just wait until this is blamed on Trump instead of the insane sicko son, Khaled Ahmad.

There's always an exception. They'll be shedding billions of virus particles for days after they've been "cured".

But, hey, we've been told sanitizing our mail is just so silly. Let's see, the mail carrier touches the CV neighbor's mail box and/or picks up the mail they've put into the box to be mailed and moments later opens your mailbox and puts your mail inside. Hmmm, yeah, sure, uh huh, follow the CDC's new directive today on the mail being safe. NOT!

Is there any way you can leave your mail in the box all week and only take it out on Monday morning before delivery time? There is not Sunday delivery so it's had 48 hours to die.

[bgill]

The article also said to only buy enough for a few days. Geez, you wouldn’t want to be labeled a hoarder. Decisions, decisions. To be a hoarder or be dead?

[RummyChick]

my neigher who has it is after me on the postal run.....but i let mail sit outside until its about dark and then wear gloves

dump it in a sack and leave it on my porch unless it is package that amazon delivers via post office

if I was in an area that didnt have a lot of wind I
would not be so worried but wind could carry this thing when they are outside

mostly yard work is going to have to wait except mowing my lawn

i dont trust them enough to have sense to stay inside

[riri]

Huh, not sure what to think of that.

Coronavirus relapse cases continue to rise in S. Korea

By age group, 38 relapse cases were reported among those in their 20s, followed by people in their 50s with 32 cases.

Good point.

So sick of self-righteous rights-defending at this point. It’s hard to make the opposite case unless people have the benefit of the knowledge on this site.

Navy graduation sure has a blurry screen.

Congratulations and thank you, all.

[bgill]

Blah, make that Air Force.

Why did I say navy?

Watching VP at Air Force Academy Commencement, on OANN, now.
