Beendaredonedat Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Most of us have a little angst when we are getting low on TP at the best of times... even when we know there is plenty at the store. You should have seen everyone milling around the empty shelves lost in their anxiety. When I told the cashier that the napkins were my new toilet paper, she said: "Well, you an always use a face cloth and just wash them afterwards... Uhm, ewwwww. Link to post Share on other sites
Gaeta Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I would be worried to flush napkins! lol Link to post Share on other sites

If you knew someone whose idea of washing their hands was grabbing dry towels and rubbing them on their hands until the towel looked clean, would you consider that good hygiene?

LivingWaterPlease Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 6 hours ago, Gaeta said: Nothing kills viruses once you are infected. Your body simply fight it back until it becomes dormant that's why you become immune after getting a virus and you cannot get it twice, cause you already has it already. If medicine could kill viruses no body would carry hsv, hiv, hpv, hepatitis, and common wart. This is misinformation. There is something that kills viruses but it will never be recognized by the medical community or FDA or any governmental institution because it's herbal. I have used it for years for many different viruses. It would take millions of dollars to run it through tests to prove it so and that won't be done but I know many who have used it and it has worked for all. So the proof is anecdotal, but those for whom it's worked don't care, since it does work. Of course, the government will never recognize it because there haven't been the million dollar tests on it. I have a very weak immune system, always have had since childhood. Yet I never get the flu or any cold because this stuff kills it. Does not boost immune system, kills the virus. There are also many anti viral herbs that can be bought that will boost the immune system but I know of only one formula that knocks it out. Link to post Share on other sites

I also have a family member in the pharmaceutical industry. There IS something available that kills viruses. Just because it's not recognized by the FDA or medical community or pharmaceutical community doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Right now the company that makes it is making beaucoups of money from it. The reason being: it works! It kills viruses. Until a person has tried it they really have no perspective of making a judgment on it except by using the party line from the government, pharmaceutical companies and the medical community.

You personally may be able to fight this with good nutrition and vitamin supplements, but others simply can't; that's just fact. So we need to take as fewer risks as possible in the interest and for the benefit of all, not just us as individuals. On an individual level, if all you do is practice social distance, keep traveling to a minimum, don't go to crowded places and wash your hands often, you're already helping. On a bigger scale, it makes complete sense for big events to be cancelled and to telework, because being in a confined space with too many people (schools, hospitals, concert halls, gyms, cinemas, etc) for too long risks the health of others. Loss of income due to lack of staturory sick leave, or putting yourself at risk because you don't have health cover is the real problem, imo. I agree to some extent. There are those who would probably be taken out even if practicing good nutrition. However, these are very high risk folks who are also at high risk for the regular flu. There were over 10,000 people killed in the flu season of 2019-2020 that supposedly is now past. Link to post Share on other sites

The global deathrate doesnt concern me much.... As with just about any other malady or accident, etc, the rates of death will be much higher in other countries where resources, awareness, competence, hygiene, etc aren't of that in more developed countries......Its unfortunate for them, but to use numbers for rates globally will always give a skewed picture of the real threat...

preraph Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 So it took a pandemic to finally make casinos sanitize their nasty slot machines. Grrr.

TFY You mean like Italy? Come on. I hesitate to say what I really think of this post, but the prejudice...just, ugh. Italy's high death rate is likely related to its relatively high proportion of older people, who as we know are more affected by this coronavirus. Not because they have poor hygiene or are incompetent. Other issues are conditions like diabetes and cancer, many of which tend to occur more as people get older as well. And, you know, in the United States of America. Italy also did not implement social distancing strategies quickly, as did countries like Taiwan and Singapore, which have successfully suppressed the rate of transmission so far. South Korea, meanwhile, successfully rolled out rapid testing, which has helped to manage the incidence and mortality. The U.S. of A.'s response has been extremely poor, ill-informed, and incompetent to date. Let's hope they can do better. So far we're not demonstrating much in the way of superior competence, hygiene, resources or awareness. This is a bad take. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Inflikted Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Man, this stuff is bringing out the old hypochondriac in me... Like, within the last hour, I started feeling a little tickle in my throat that's occasionally making me cough, and I have what feels like a very mild pressure headache in my forehead, and now I'm wondering, do I have it? How would I have contracted it? My contact with anyone or anything outside the house is very limited, and I'm super careful about washing my hands and whatnot. How would I even know if I have it? Symptoms don't seem very notable. I'm not even so much concerned with having it, myself, but I don't know if my parents would survive it if they got it, and I can't exactly quarantine myself away from them... I'm sure I probably have nothing, and I'm just getting sucked into the paranoia and fear, though. v_v 1 Link to post Share on other sites
