Covid-19

[JL25and3]

I don't know how many times I've seen a person lick their fingers when opening one of those plastic bags in the veggie aisle and then paw through the green beans. So yeah, I always wash that kind of stuff when I get home. (I also always wipe down the the handle on the shopping cart with a wipe before I start shopping. Other folks lack of personal hygiene is always a concern for me.

This is the sort of thing that would never occur to me.

There is evidence to believe it can live on surfaces for up to two days. Which makes this even more concerning.

But living on surfaces and being transmitted from those surfaces is not the same thing. So far they are not seeing evidence of it. Not saying it can't happen but I don't think it's something to be that concerned with.

My issue with this virus is that I wear compression gloves all day, otherwise my hands are useless, shriveled neuropathy riddled appendages. I can't exactly wash my gloves every half hour, though I do put them in the washing machine every night. I've thought about wearing latex gloves on top of them and disposing them often, but that would look even more ridiculous. So I guess I'm just taking my chances.

By the way, I went to a B.J.s wholesale club yesterday (who came up with that name?) and they had an ample supply of toilet paper, paper towels, diapers, bottled water and various cleaning supplies. In fact they had them all prominently displayed as soon you entered the store. Entrepreneurship at its finest.

Went to a baseball tournament with my Godson and his brother years back on Long Island. They placed a BJ’s right next to a Hooter’s. Of course they noticed

I'm a lot of fun at parties, too.

I am still seeing comment sections with people saying that this is overblown. I can't with people.

It's the nature of people. Until it hits their family it's someone else's problem and just an inconvinience to them.


I'd rather err on teh side of caution myself. I mean the longer this can be contained the better.

I'm beginning to wonder about MLB's season opening in 2 weeks.

Beantown down for the count. Brisket and corned beef sales take a big hit.
