If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Originally posted by Gregg View PostI just got a call from my youngest sister (59). She woke up with a cough this morning. She called her doctor who put her in touch with CDC. She is on her way to the ER for testing.
She works for Mercury Marine in Fond du lac Wisconsin about 3 hours from me. Someone on a production line 2 lines over passed away from it two weeks ago. She has been laid off for a week.
She is not experiencing any other symptoms at this time.
I am scared and praying hard for her. First that she tests negative. And if positive that she recovers quickly and without issue.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View PostHere are a couple of links that I thought were interesting. I know that if I were around sick people I would wear a mask. And chances are that in Seattle I may come into contact with people who are carrying Coronavirus (or could be carrying it myself). I've been considering wearing one on the few times each week that I go out in public to buy groceries. I'm leaning more towards wearing one the next time I go out. As CBB mentioned, if nothing else it may get me some extra space
Asia says masks are "common sense." The West warns they give a false sense of security. What does science say?

Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View PostI haven't been wearing a mask yet either. I am thinking about it. Probably minimal benefit for a healthy person to wear one, but trying to figure it out

Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostInteresting stuff, if inconclusive. I certainly don't think it would hurt if we all had masks and wore them in public. But we don't. There are none to be found in my area, anyway.

I went to the liquor store and was happy to see about 30% were wearing masks. Then I went to pet store and saw no one else. Looks like us drinkers are smarterIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View PostThis guy is a big proponent of masks. Interesting point he makes about Hong Kong (similar to NY, but only 4 deaths from COVID-19), as well as some other interesting stuff to consider. As you say it might not matter now since they probably aren't available, but it is something we may need to consider if we want to get out of lockdown mode anytime soon. I haven't read everything on his twitter feed, and haven't verified his claims about Hong Kong....
