This reminds me of when our house flooded and I had the correct homeowners insurance rider. One of my relatives said, "That was lucky!" No, it wasn't.

It's interesting to watch the CDC evolution from no public masks, to recommended public masks. Currently the CDC recommends health care workers wear an N-95 fit-tested mask, washable face-shield and non-sterile cover gown, with lots of emphasis on

Day 20 of the quarantine. About to take out the garbage. I’m so excited I don’t know what to wear. My house got TP’d last night. I just looked on Zillo and it’s now worth $875,000. I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to Puerto Backya

It seems to be fine on nitrile gloves — I’ve kept reusing that same pair with no ill effects. They are still pliable and fit well — no rips or tears. First sign of deterioration and they get tossed. OTOH I would not try that with Latex gloves. I

Is sanitizer safe to use over gloves or does it break down the material the glove is made of? I honestly don't know, that's why I ask.

I have a mask/gloves so I am safe “virtue signaling”. I have a mask that’s only good to 1.0 micron but is reusable/washable. It can be pinched at the nose bridge and the elastic all around makes for a good fit. It is advertised as being antimicrobi

Trying to get my head around the thinking here. Are we planning to build a diy ventilator and set up an icu unit at home, or are we planning to take our ventilator to the hospital and offer it for use in their icu?

I guess things have gone as well for me as I could reasonably expect. I have enough food on hand for probably a month or two although it's not going to be keto friendly. The stores aren't really out of any foodstuffs that I normally buy. The pasta
