In short: get out fresh plates before you even receive the pizza. Remove the food from the container and dispose of it, then wash your hands. Make sure not to touch your face in the interim. You might be going a little overboard, but for the most part you’re in the right spirit. Thanks for that. I essentially did just that. Had all the plates prepared before getting the pizza. Retrieved the pizzas and put the boxes on top of napkins on the kitchen counter. Washed my hands. Put on gloves to open all the boxes of pizza at the same time, disposed of gloves then washed my hands again. Placed all pizzas onto plates and washed my hands. Put on gloves to grab all the pizza boxes and napkins and removed them from the home. Washed my hands again. I probably have the cleanest hands in the U.S. right now and yeah this is overboard, but it's worth the little bit of extra time in the name of prevention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The German Federal Institute for Risk Assesment (BfR) reports that it is also possible—but unlikely—that the virus could be spread through "smear" infection. In these cases, a healthy person would touch a contaminated surface with their hands—say, a can of soup, a touchscreen ATM, or a subway turnstile—then transfer the virus to their eyes or nose. There have been no known cases of this method of transfer, and it is thought to be far less likely than droplet infection" I did not know this. Very reassuring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Growth rates should follow the roughly the same basic log function across populaces. That’s why that graph being shows shows just about every country on the same path, just a certain number of days behind Italy/China. This shows one of two things. Either we are doing an obscenely bad job of containment and seeing obscene spikes in the growth rates that no one else is seeing. Or we’re doing an obscenely bad job at testing and tracking the virus and our general growth is so far ahead of other countries that simply having access to a few more tests could point us to how we’re actually the worst case scenario in the world. Both are bad. Edited March 21, 2020 by pwny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Border Colllie is cute I have a walk daily in Northumberland, live in a small town, see very few people - I'm quite happy staying away from people. My wife works in the NHS and I dread when it gets worse as she'll be likely moved to respiratory physiotherapy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Tomorrow I feel is the last day of semi-normalcy for half a month in America. Monday the proverbial poop is going to hit the fan and it will likely be a national quarantine. I already stocked up on food a week ago, probably have three weeks left of food already, 4 if I rationed, but I’m going to go one last time tomorrow to be sure. I am also planning on quarantining at work. The Shining is what I will be watching the first night. I hope everyone can try to stay positive in a time like this. Gonna try to be nicer her and a better person overall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
