I just had the weirdest visual come to mind. Right now people are buying more toilet paper, some in part because of increased usage with children and adults all being at home 24/7. But that would mean that schools and businesses are having a corresponding decrease in TP usage, right? So there must b...

After saying don't wear masks if you aren't sick, they are now saying wear a mask. And where is anyone supposed to get one now? :? I don't sew, so I posted a couple of videos in the Arts and Crafts Club thread on how to make a mask from a bandana and ponytail holders, no sewing required. I haven't ...

Florida and other states doing little will wait until they have a lot of deaths. Then act after many people are already infected. Don't forget the part about blaming all the residents from other states who visited their sunny, open beaches. If it weren't for the evil, irresponsible residents from o...

LATimes - A choir decided to go ahead with rehearsal. Now dozens of members have COVID-19 and two are dead. (I used up my free articles so I can't quote from it, but I can read it on my iPad while typing on my laptop.) The Skagit Valley Chorale is about 1 hour south of Seattle. While the outbreak h...

In my county 25% of the total number infected required hospitalization. Lake County, right next door is the same. Some counties have even higher % requiring hospitalization, but some have lower. In one county 34% of the total number required hospitalization. That puts things into some perspective. ...

People are dying, but all he can do is lost multiple tweets about the ratings his news conferences are getting?

He tweets about what matters most to him.

But seriously, someone pick a time.

I think it will have to be Foggy who does that. He'll have to get up to speed on what it takes to host a Zoom get together, so Foggy, what do you think makes sense?

Well, that was interesting. My sister-in-law called me a bit ago and asked if I wanted to play computer games with them. She, my brother, and their four daughters (ages 16-24, two at home, two in the Cities) were using HouseParty. You can use it for video chatting, but it also allows you to play gam...

Y'all might have to look at my cat sleeping if I join in. There is very little I dislike more than having photos taken or being on camera.

I would think that there's some way to use a photo or an avatar or some other option for those of us who are camera shy.

This gave me goosebumps. Cantus is a Minnesota male ensemble. They recorded this piece last week, all standing the required distance apart.

An excellent piece in the New York Times by Michael Osterholm (noted epidemiologist from Minnesota) and Mark Olshaker It’s Too Late to Avoid Disaster, but There Are Still Things We Can Do :snippity: In three to four weeks, there will be a major shortage of chemical reagents for coronavirus testing, ...

I'm in the middle of switching banks. I hope they hurry and disburse the $$ before I close the account that I used for my 2019 income tax refund. I've already switched the account for my SS payments. I wish they'd use that one. Thanks for the heads up. On Monday I closed the credit union account my...

The House just passed the COVID-19 relief bill on a voice vote.

For the non-sewers who want a quick and easy face mask for themselves, there's a Facebook video showing how to make one using a bandana and two ponytail holders. https://www.facebook.com/cindy.kincannon/videos/10215675124302265/ If the Facebook link doesn't work for you, here's a link to a less poli...

How much sanitizer do you need to scre the shit out of the coronavirus ?

Or... you could just pick the cup up with a napkin, and remove the lid with a second napkin.

From local television station KSTP - Sen. Klobuchar's husband released from hospital, recovering at home after testing positive for COVID-19.

The Senate has passed the relief bill unanimously - 96-0. It heads to the House now.

I’ve always assumed Trump pretends to be religious because old money families tend to be religious. He pretends to be religious because it's expected of him, it costs him nothing, and it plays well with his base. Plus, lots of "Christian" leaders will sing his praises and he loves to be publicly ad...

You need to clean the surface first (soap and water in a spray bottle will do), with a paper towel. Then spray the rubbing alcohol on and let it air dry. If you don't have a spray bottle, saturate a paper towel with the alcohol, wet the surface well, and air dry. I know this because I have a fascin...

but I want to be prepared at some point if I can't find an easy-to-use bottle of disinfectant in the store. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/cleaning-disinfection.html Clean & Disinfect Interim Recommendations for US Households with Suspected/Confirmed Coronavirus Disease 2019 For ...

Silly question - How do you use rubbing alcohol for cleaning surfaces? I've used it for cleaning little things, like mercury thermometers, but I've never used it for large surfaces. I do have 2/3 of a spray bottle of 409 and I do have Clorox wipes, so I don't need to use the alcohol at this point, b...

Honestly I think I have something. I've been asleep all day and I don't have the energy to get out of bed. I have a cough but it's not bad, and I have a pretty hard hitting headache. So ya, good times are ahead I think. Can you smell? Is it red around your eyes? Two other symptoms reported for this...

I'm sure that this is a dumb question and you guys will tell my why. Why not use the self-inflating bags that they carry on ambulances to use on people that paramedics they intubate when they run out of respirators? It would take a lot of manpower, but they could make a lot of them very fast and yo...
