COVID-19 Pandemic (Coronavirus)
- Thread starter null
- Start date
Its going to eventually work its way into the interior. The east and west coasts are where its starting. But through just a little bit of travel, interior states will start to see outbreaks.

The government has shown that they are not our friend so even if they mandate a freeze, trust that there will be some fees slap on at some point. Do what you feel is best but I'm sticking by what I said

I read somewhere, maybe even in this thread, that you can kill the virus if you put the mask in a oven on a low settings for a few mins. Then we'd be able to reuse the mask...but that doesn't sound right to me. Should do more research about it
I knew I should've bought a UV disinfecting lamp before this happened, can't even find it on amazon now without it being marked up

anyone know how often those world meter stats are updated? cause at 11:27 it was reported there have been 26 deaths today so far now it’s at 247 only 3 hours later?
are some states reporting their death numbers from over night later? when does the “new” day start in terms of determine new deaths for the day? is is updated hourly
cause if it’s already almost 300 deaths for today, and a 200 jump from just 3 hours ago, that’s insane

Any word that the summer might slow this down?
I just texted this to my mom. She is thankfully on the I'll quit if you don't give me adequate protection train. Yesterday, she worked her first 12-hour shift in the past few weeks and said she got her an N95 mask from the nurse or worker who was in charge of watching over the supplies that were locked up. She said the woman was on the verge of tears out of fear of losing her job because the administration is setting strict requirements to get the mask but eventually was convinced to provide my mom with one. She said that it doesn't make sense since there were literally hundreds of masks and people like her who deal with people's airways are really at high risks and should be given this protection.
She also said that now the administration is also asking for some people who don't usually work in the ICUs, to work in them that have positive patients, but at the same time still being stingy with PPE. She said if she is forced to do this she will quit. I asked her why not just supply everyone at least just one mask and tell them to be responsible for doing stuff to extend the life of the masks and only replace them after they have worn that one out and in the meantime, they can focus on building up their stock. She said it was a good idea. Hopefully, she can use her position to convince these "Board members" or whoever she said is in charge to start thinking of this.
I told her to fukking quit at the first sign they want her to do something unsafe and she seems to be on board with that thinking already. I saw that thread on that one nurse and people chastising her for her choice. These people doing the chastising have the luxury of not worrying about being a high-risk situation and bringing it home to their family, in addition, putting their own health in danger.
Folks judging that woman for that can go fukk themselves.

I don't think it's updated at any regular interval, just whenever the people running it get new info. Pretty sure I've seen more than 1 update in the span of an hour before. The day seems to end at around 10PM EST though, I saw the new cases/deaths reset at 10PM EST last night.
For those who didn’t know, lysol has a sixty second kill time, which means that it needs to sit on the surface for sixty seconds before it’s actually effective. Lots of cleaning products also have their kill times published, so it’s worth looking it up for anything else you may be using as a substitute. Vinegar takes several hours iirc.
