  1. Anybody post the technical guide: https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/04/dont-panic-the-comprehensive-ars-technica-guide-to-the-coronavirus/ [Edit: This is quite good! There are places where the information is a bit dated, as in the early belief that asymptomatic carriers were few, and that transmission from asymptomatic carriers and aerosol transmission were not occurring....it is now acknowledged at best, we don't know the extent]
  2. 30. Moulin Rouge! Happy, Sad, Music, & the French Flag... Has to be. LoL... Never even saw the movie.
  3. Check back in 6 or 7 years. Lawyers take their time. They hope you also die first.
  4. 31...Is getting a few different ones. 31. Bonnie and Clyde (?)
  5. Hasn't been peer reviewed but, is credible since COVID-19 is SARS-Cov-2 https://nypost.com/2020/04/03/cats-can-infect-each-other-with-coronavirus-study-says/amp/ [Edit: Sounds as though people with indoor/outdoor cats, might want to keep them inside for now Minor nit: SARS-Cov-2 is the virus that causes covid-19 disease. I get what you mean, just explaining the official nomenclature]
  6. They are literally on top of people in NYC! I'd rather live in a graduate dorm @ a large university than NYC. I'd rather die by.smell of exploding kimchi from the communal microwave. Oh wait... COVID-19 has been said to give a person lack of taste, smell and pink eye: https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2020/03/31/coronavirus-symptoms-taste-smell/amp/ Still give me the graduate dorm at large Midwestern Land-Grant school over NYC.
  7. https://www.politico.com/states/california/story/2020/04/01/its-come-to-this-liberal-san-francisco-bay-area-bans-reusable-grocery-bags-1270319 Wow... Remember the road to hell is paved with good intentions...
  8. Good answer. Like the way you think! I think your subtle commentary! Really bringing your A-game!
  9. Can I cut a hole in my mask so I can smoke? Actually saw a guy at work do that! What a badass! Not the guy at work... But close: This is a humor thread, right?
  10. Supposedly... OSHA "fit requirement" is why we at work had to ditch our N100s last year for N95s. I am not management... Never looked into it, I probably shouldn't blindly trust. But, that's the story I got. What about beards???
  11. Can I post this Dr. here: He explains the mechanics of what happens... Not exactlty family hour, few swear words... But its down to earth. Informative... He shoots from the hip. If I needed bariatric surgery... I'd want this guy! LoL..
  12. Relatively new... 2007. Zooey Deschanel. AnnaSophia Robb... Don't think I am going native. Soft. My wife is a librarian. These I remember...
  13. Anybody say: That's as old as me... Dirt. 1968.
  14. Fair enough. I it's still a guesstimate from a few hours to a day. SARs stays on latex for 8 hours... But, SARs ain't exactly COVID-19 of course! So much we don't know of the new strain. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/2020/03/25/coronavirus-survives-on-metal-plastic-cardboard-common-objects/2866340001/ No log in if Incognito: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/03/17/health/coronavirus-surfaces-aerosols.amp.html Cites: NEJM "...Health care workers might also collect those tiny droplets and larger ones on their protective gear when working with infected patients. They might resuspend these big and small droplets into the air when they take off this protective gear and become exposed to the virus then, Dr. Marr cautioned. A study that is being reviewed by experts bears out this fear. And another study, published March 4 in JAMA, also indicates that the virus is transported by air. That study, based in Singapore, found the virus on a ventilator in the hospital room of an infected patient, where it could only have reached via the air. ..." https://www.huffpost.com/entry/coronavirus-skin-hair-nails_l_5e73ce08c5b6eab77944be05 https://www.businessinsider.com/how-long-can-coronavirus-live-on-surfaces-how-to-disinfect-2020-3 https://www.kltv.com/2020/03/27/how-long-does-coronavirus-live-clothes-skin/ "...She explains, "So the best guess-timate we have, as far as these viruses are able to stay on skin, clothes, and fabrics of other types, is between several hours and up to one day. And it’s frustrating to have such a wide estimate but it’s because we still don’t know so much about this virus. ..."
  15. Bio waste down the drain or taking up a landfill. Landfill... The "gift that keeps on giving?" And... I am not talking about protection... The PPE will protect. But in this case. Could you be spreading it. COVID-19 is more viable on plastic longer than hands. You can't change your gloves every three seconds. That's such an absurd analogy with the seatbelt. Nobody is claiming it doesn't protect. Just claiming that the virus may get somewhere else. A better analogy is: When launching a boat. You take your seatbelt off.
