UV light exposure kills it.  Sunlight has it.  Might be why flu sort of goes away during summer months.  Antibacterial UV lamps are sold with the most effective wavelengths.

 

Then I'm safe!!

I just used some "Laser Bond" glue a few minutes ago! :D

Order one of these and you'll be good to go.

Here are the facts.

As of March 11th, the CDC was reporting 1,629 cases of COVID-19 in the the US with 41 total deaths associated with it .

 

My little town in west central Minnesota has just over 2.000 residents.

More than all of the reported cases so far in a country of 328 million people.

There are likely more than 41 people living within a 2 block radius of me.

 

Those are the facts at this time.

Everything else is speculation.

 

There will likely be more cases as testing ramps up, but for the time being, this is where we stand.

That was March 11th, that was 5 days ago. Now the confirmed cases are 3,774, with 823 of them being the past 24 HOURS.  Deaths have creeped up to 69.  It doubled again in less than 5 days...of the people who have been tested - which is in reality hardly anyone.

Correct.

More facts.

I did say that there will be more cases.

 

So far, .001% of the population has been affected

Some really bad news here in north San Diego county.  We have our first two confirmed cases.  The really bad news.  Both are paramedics!  The scramble is on to get in touch with all the patients and healthcare workers they were in contact with.

That's why I'm thrilled not to be in retail any more. Who knows what could be walking in those doors as it is, let along hitching a ride in!  One thing that was unexpected at first though is that at work our lunches are being cut to 30 min from 60  and going to Mandatory OverTime,  so it should be 2.5 hours if time and a half per week until this is over or we have to shut Customer Service down because of this!

baste yourself with some barbecue sauce and roll around until done.

Also - just got the word that the Lake Michigan Model Car Club meeting this Saturday has been canceled - the annual Model of the Year banquet will be moved to April.

Imagine how happy I suddenly am that I was laid off first of February! I've been in self-quarantine for six weeks now, and loving every minute of it. (That's how I've gotten 16 model cars finished so far this year.)

I just got in from a cross-country flight. Half the plane was empty, but one Asian-looking girl was wearing a mask. Now I have the sniffles. I guess I'm infected and going to die. But before I do, I'm going to the store to buy every roll of toilet paper they have, and then come home, set my hair on fire, and run in circles.

From what I can tell on the interdwerbs, that seems to be the correct strategy.

PS: Anyone who read this comment should go was his hands now. Can't be too careful.

Oh relax. The typical Costco or Walmart is no worse than the garbage-truck riot scenes in Soylent Green. :lol:

I hope everyone realizes that The Five Second Rule has been indefinitely suspended.

I have subscribed to the "ten second" rule.

As I get older, I find it takes me longer than 5 seconds just to bend over or stand up again.:)

 

By the way, is that birthday cake?

Yeah.......I'm eatin' that! :D

That deck looks dirty, might be a bird dropping under that cake.

You reminded me of a favorite old joke: 

You know that little purple spot in the middle of bird poop? You know what that is? 

 

 

 

 

It's MORE BIRD POOP, ya dope! :lol:
