Seems pretty straight forward to me. The shit lives a long time on various surfaces and that’s the main route of catching it.

Yes, I'm sure of that.  

Seems to me nobody has a straight answer on any of this.  CDC and the WHO are both at odds.  Doctors, hospitals, treatment people are all at odds. Nobody can identify how or why it spreads definitively.  Nobody can positively say when somebody should seek treatment other than a "sore throught, headache and cough...possible fever"  Well..WTF? 

It's literally the "How to scare the fuck out of everyone and while killing jobs and businesses" playbook.  Why not just go with an 100% imminent nuclear attack over the next couple of months? That way, at least the hospitals wouldn't get overrun with every retard with a sore throat and headache.

Epic fucking mess.

Front line docs like Price are in a particularly good position to put some of these pieces together. Better than a lab attendant. My main concern is keeping my family and self safe. All the other shit can be fixed.

Keep your phone clean too. Those mother fuckers are filthy even without the Koronas. I stripped off the case so there’s nowhere for crud to lurk. Just easy to clean glass.

Yeah...there's been tons of articles written about what is on our phones.  It's like carrying around a dirty kitchen sink.  I wipe mine down with wipes almost everytime I hit my hands.  I put a new case on my daughters phone the other day and when I took the old one off....well, let's just say when I was done cleaning and putting the case on, I went into "Silkwood" mode.  FFS!

Ive been keeping a tub of antiviral wipes n my truck. Use em after every time I go somewhere. People are nasty motherfuckers. Try not to touch money either . That has always been nasty stuff, even thou I love it.

I just got home from the store and we set up a spot for wiping everything down with Clorox wipes and then a clean spot before it goes into fridge/freezer/cupboards. I didn't watch the video yet so not sure what was covered. Wiped down my debit card and wallet...then took a hot shower.

I've always done this....I do it more now thought.  I've just upgraded to the clorox wipes now since the anti-bacterial wipes are all sold out.

I carry around a small exhaust spring tool that I bought from SLP 28 years ago. Makes for a great door pull. Don’t have to touch those diseased ridden things. It’s good for entering the pin for the debit card too.

You can just toss that receipt. I don't want it.

 Are you serious?

I just try not not lick my fingers clean after opening these doors.  Sometimes I forget if I'm eating cheetos just before though.

Door handle give me the willies. I use my sleeve.

How do you wash your sleeve afterwards?  LOL

I've always just used the tip of a finger or two...then wash up as soon as I can.  Before they came out with touchless shit in most places, I'd almost never wash my hands after taking a piss.  Whatever germs that were in my pants were much better than anything on the faucet handles and sink.

What if you forget and accidentally go knuckle deep? It’s lights out for you.

Id rather shit myself before going in one.

That feeling you get after washing your hands in a public bathroom with one of those germblower2000’s on the wall with no paper towel dispenser, and then have to pull the door open to get out of the bathroom...

I wash my hands before I piss in a public - but not after. I don't touch a flush handle either.

Shopped for mom and dad yesterday.

Has a cart in the garage. I got there, disinfect everything that comes out. Anything he doesn't need ASAP gets left on the cart for at least a day afterwards.

Called me and asked if he should just pop down to the store rather than bother me. I told him to stay his ass home and that I would get it. Close to 160 miles round trip. Of course he is very apologetic and that he is a bother.

Never a bother. It is my place.

My MIL is the same way...She is 85 but still very active and I know she is going stir crazy but we convinced her to stay home and let us handle her shopping.
