Thanks! I have a couple plastic "tubes" of them, given to me as gifts over the years. I took those two out of the tubes to take a picture, otherwise they stay in the unopened tubes.

Made a hospital visit with my wife yesterday for a bone density shot which the doc (after several discussions) said was essential for her. We overdid the hand washing, alcohol swabbing down of loaned wheelchair, wearing clothes we'd wash as soon as we got home, etc. They made us remove the gloves we wore at the hospital screening at the front door. So it goes. Hope we did enough. The next appointment, on a different medical matter, is at a non-hospital doctor's office, but we will continue to be exaggeratedly careful. I shop, but far less, similar precautions. The next "bone shot" is hopefully to be done at an office and not a hospital, with luck. In N.C. the virus is on the uptick and social isolation is widely practiced. Not much rush hour traffic or activity in retail other than groceries and drugstores.

Well it finally hit home. Deb had a doctor's appointment that they cancelled. They would only accept a video exam...on the phone!
I think some people are going to learn that they don't get enough time alone with those they love, and others are going learn they don't want any more time with loved ones at least not those ones. Apperantly a lot of people got divorced after their isolation in China, like a record number. So yeah agreeing that there will be changes and not all of them expected.
According to one global data set, the US just took the number one spot for the most cases, beating out China and Italy who have been number one and two respectively. Interesting days.
Do you really believe China's claims??
What about all those 21 million cell phone users who just vanished? Not saying they all died from Wuhan virus, but in a communist contry where the personal cell phone is the new identity card, it's certainly troubling to have 21 million numbers just go poof in the last three months. Also, how come no single soldier of the PLA has been reported to fall ill with coronavirus? It's plenty obvious that China has way more cases and dead than they're reporting.
Italy is probably more transparent, but still.
Yes. But how are they feeling about letting their compatriots back into their own country?
Can't pay their bill? (assuming the above is even true of course...and assuming anything related to this "event" is a big assumption...and I do mean anything...except that we're being lied to of course...to one degree or another).
I hear on the grapevine that it will all be over come Easter, particularly in the States.
I so wish this was the case, I really do, and for every country but my limited knowledge tells me this will not be the case at all.
Best thing we can all do is assume that everyone has the virus and to act accordingly. At the same time we must respect the folks that are dealing with this, be it medics, police officers or essential supply deliverers etc, these people will be our saviours!
Stay safe chaps!

As someone said somewhere, how about we start flattening the curve of fear already?
I'm sure it's like this everywhere, but in my neck of the woods, people are scared to death even to walk by one another. I was getting some building materials in the local hardware store, and the clerk was constantly spraying his station down with cleaners and when I handed him back the signed receipt, he soaked a wipe with cleaner, and grabbed the receipt with the soaked wipe.....crazy shit man
See what I mean? As if we weren't paranoid enough prior to this.
I looked outside my window and saw a couple of older folks walking slowly down the street; about 10 ft behind them a cute girl was walking in the same direction. Then I see the folks pulling into my building's ramp: I assumed they lived here, but no: since the girl was walking faster they cowed into the driveway to let her pass and then resumed their slow walk.
This is getting beyond ridiculous.
It's a shame older people don't understand like you do that the paranoia is unwarranted. The pandemic is really our friend. Go give it a big kiss and say hi.
If this virus is so widespread now, how is anyone going to permanently avoid it? Is this the new way for human interaction? I don't think it's going to go away.
