OT: The Official Coronavirus thread - Be well, be safe

[matchman]

Several things on this whole thing...

LIRR and subways are empty. During rush hour there were maybe 8-10 people in on the LIRR in my car which usually can fit about 120 people. Subway to the WFC had maybe a doze people, tops. Everyone was staring at everyone else and spaced out. It's crazy. If you cough you may get jumped.

Those stupid disposable masks (that you see a lot of folks, not just chinese folks, wear) don't work. You need AT LEAST n95 filter masks. Hand sanitizers (if you can find them) has to be AT LEAST 60% alcohol. Some of the crap you find in Bath & Body don't do a thing to the corona virus. In lieu of hand sanitizers you can always use alcohol (from the liquor store) but the alcohol should also be at least 120 proof (60% alcohol). We "raided" our local liquor store and bought all the grain alcohol we could find. Grain alcohol is 180 proof (90% alcohol). Toilet paper is almost as impossible to find so buy paper towels. It's the same ****. You just may not want to flush it down the toilet is the thing (just throw it in the garbage).

Sure....thats why I loaded up on 180 proof liquor...for the sanitizer.

But good info.

For some reason 60 percent alcohol works better than 90 percent alcohol. Saw that the other day.

Yes, 60-70%, as to let the alcohol get past the membrane of the virus, hence to eliminate the virus or make it dead. Not more, not less.

Well most people in Hong Kong right now:

Do not trust CCP announcement about how they conquer the virus and suppress the number of new infections

Do not trust WHO and their corrupt officials who only know how to lick the arse of CCP and delay the warning (hence all those countries who believed in them, suffered a lot)

Do not trust HK government and their blind faith and trust to CCP. This totalitarian government can only appease their power source which are not from the people.

Save yourself and if you have more power or resources, save the people you care and love. Hong Kong has been defending without government aid for 2 month plus without an booming number, so as Taiwan. The difference from Taiwan is that their government does not need to follow WHO orders as PRC restricts Taiwan from being their member, and surprisingly this helps them a lot for fighting this five star corona.

You can't drink 90% alcohol, but oh my me, some 60% pálinka to start the day....

Keep hands clean. (By 60-70% alcohol, or with plenty of water and soap for at least 20 seconds throughly)

Try not to use hand to touch face or rub eyes, nail bitting etc.

Surgical masks (and if available eye masks or even a pair of normal spectacles) can prevent from anyone spreading or receiving the virus via droplets. Not perfect but a sense of higher defensive prowess. One thing need to be reminded, the best practice is to have clean hands to wear a new mask, and to clean hands immediately if you take off for eat a drink or when you're back home. After you wear the mask, prevent from touching the surface facing outside, the virus may be just over there. And the moisture from your breath will weaken its ability to defend, so if resource is plenty dont use the same mask for a whole day, replace it at around 4-hour mark. (But even I cannot do this as they are not that plenty)

Of course if you got n95 equivalent, even better. 3M 6800 with the pink filter can, the merrier but we really doubt it unless you are going to a place with high risk.

"Look at Italy ... I feel for everyone there, they’ve gone to full shutdown,” Hizzoner said in a pre-taped interview that aired Sunday morning on WABC-TV. “God forbid that ever happened here, because they have lost not just the year 2020, but they’ve lost 2021 and maybe 2022 in terms of creating a functioning society.”

“If we slip into much more of a shutdown, people have to understand all of the consequences of that and how long it will take to bring it back,” the mayor added.

Pressed on the issue at his news conference, de Blasio insisted “I don’t want to be at the point of saying literally no one can go outside.” But, he added, “We may say that very, very soon.”

man. this is gonna suck.

Get ready. We're basically in quarantine for the next two weeks, but more likely it's going to be months.

Is that even legit? Maybe it can help clear up sinuses. not really sure it can prevent transmission or cure it.

To be honest I am not 100% sure either way. It could be a little effective, but kinda sounds too good to be true. There is a lot of false info floating around so just want people to be cautious.

WHO is going to play on the side of caution probably and not validate something they feel maybe has too sparse data to confirm

But if there were legit lab tests that melted this stuff at 133 then I'd consider that valuable data

If anyone finds additional info on this heat cure, I'd like to see it
