I gotta admit I’m super paranoid. The cashier at the hardware store was itching her nose and I put my shit back and left.

NYC Today. massive crowds of people literally watching the Comfort arrive to serve as a hospital, probably for some of them
The only time you ever see crowds like that in Houston is at major events like the rodeo or in very specific parts of downtown at very specific times of day.
I haven't seen a crowd like that here in like 3 weeks.
I'm not normally a Texas pride kinda guy but right now Texas is making me proud. Seems even Texans are taking Cuomo more seriously than his own people. Every other person I meet here has a crush on him now, "I wish he were running for President"

I've been shopping with a mask and gloves. When I get back to my truck, i spray my gloves and mask with iso and put my mask back in a plastic bag after it dries. When I get home I wipe down each item and discard the bag or whatever packaging.
Edit: I've been wiping off my cards too.

Don't be too paranoid touching things with your hands. Just consider them dirty from the time you leave your house until you get home and give them the surgical scrub when you return.
I think this is going to last awhile and it's better to utilize soap and water instead of consuming goods that are in very short supply. Soap is plentiful and even easy to make with widely available ingredients.
Washing your hands in the bathroom of a store before you leave and using the paper towel to open doors on your way out is great also.
I deal mostly in cash and have been taking a gallon ziplock so the clerks can put my change and receipt right in the bag. Then I just leave it in the bag for now. I read that Swiss scientists found that influenza can survive 9 days on cash money in the right conditions when swabbed with mucus from sick people. That article was from a couple years ago but I'm assuming the same for the current bug.

So I’ve had some kind of chest thing with mild coughing for two days. I don’t feel sick and the weirdest thing is that everytime I check my temperature it’s around 97.5, which is significantly lower than the average the week previous 🤷♂️

I too have had issues but when I use my asthma inhaler and ling steroids I'm fine. Thing is it's the same thing I've had since last August more smoking related. Been feeling like a have low grade fever but our thermometer tells me I'm right in that healthy zone at 98 or so. Scares me for my parents I take care of.

if you get COVID dont use your steroid inhaler. use albuterol only. use it generously as needed. 8 puffs at a time if you need to. steroids make it worse

I'm paranoid. When I'm done I toss my clothes in the wash and take a shower. If I remember I go back and wipe down the door handles.

That's not paranoid. I do the same when I get home including wiping the door knob.
I'm just saying you're wasting your gloves and alcohol by using them when you're out instead of just washing your hands thoroughly when you get home or when you can get to a sink.
Why use something when you can use nothing with the same result after hand washing?

What a time to begin working on my mycology hobby. [Re: SprewellSleeve] 2
#26568289 - 03/30/20 11:27 PM (3 years, 10 months ago) |

I have been fascinated by the field of mycology since before I went to college. I'm not sure what took me so long, or what was the catalyst to get me started now. It has, however happened, and I currently am pursuing cultivation and education at a serious level. It's been almost 15 years since my last Medical Mycology class.. so why now.. with the world in a state of viral chaos has my motivation peaked. I'ts definitely not the easiest time to acquire supplies, but I have fared well, collecting over the past couple of weeks. As bad as things are out there, I am very happy to be on my current journey. I can't thank this community enough for allowing me to make my dreams seem possible.
I love you all and hope that you are all well.

I'm not sure this is good advice. The steroids thing applies to patients with severe symptoms and there is no evidence that mild cases will progress to severe ones more easily if anti-asthma steroids are used. In all likelihood, keeping one's asthma under control is a MUCH better idea than to cease medication 'just in case'.

Well the numbers in the US and UK are looking promising these past few days (assuming testing is the same). A definite (and early) slowdown in cases presenting in both countries.
I think the US might see a bit of a bump in the next few days as New York was responsible for the bulk of the confirmed cases, but as it's now spreading to places which aren't quite so prepared, they'll start catching up.
Prediction for todays numbers if the trend continues (and I hope it does). US - 800 dead, 27 000 new cases. UK - 300 dead, 2000 new cases
