"They found that viable virus could be detected up to three hours later in the air, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel....."

Novel Coronavirus Can Live on Some Surfaces for Up to 3 Days, New Tests Show

I was just about to go out and get the mail, delivered earlier today
- Now I'm wondering if I should just leave it set in the mailbox a few days
- Maybe you could even get it from the mail?

Probably not - I hope!

So interesting I had to look it up, Digging sometimes reveals a lot of things,



It's sad that this guy reflects to people what a Christian, is. This Jim baker man, He's a profiteer, This person is clearly just taking advantage of people, He's been to prison for this before. He doesn't so much reflect mainstream Christianity, He's a flim-flam man, taking advantage of people, I would say every large group has these kinds of people, But this Jim baker guy, He takes the cake really. In the midst of a pandemic, proclaiming to have a cure, How evil. You know? I will say this in fairness though, This may sound cold, But hastily, Anyone that fell for his silver solution scam, "Was Looking for a Magic Cure" Kind of maybe deserved to part with their money.

It's like, You know, Hey, I've got this liquid that if you drink it, you can fly like superman, walk through walls, Wanna try it? Nah, I've never been a huge fan of stupid people, And, Really if they fall for this, It's a lesson they deserve to learn.

That's kind of why Jim baker bugs me, See, everyone thinks, This is how Christians think and what they believe. But Jim gives a bad name to us all,

The actuality is, The Christian belief holds many wisdoms and praises Education, The truth is, Any Christian who would Fall for Jim's silver solution, That's not an educated Christian. Make no mistake, Christians Shun ignorance too.

My wife and I are unavoidably exposed to very public places and we'd both definitely prefer not to be right now. No choice.We just try to avoid contact where possible, keep your hands away from your face and wash them regularly. At least plain old soap and water is commonly available.

Coronavirus at least called attention to some questionable habits. I have always seen people eating open containers of food, stripped right down wearing flip flops exposing a lot of bare skin - in subways, trains, on public streets. Yeecch.

I still have to deal with people who think nothing of hacking, coughing all over everything including me, wiping their noses on their hands and then handling things I have to. I work in a total s******e even without the pandemic. I've come down with the generalized crud several times probably because of it. Hope this means my immune system's been working out ....

I sit here at my desk and I realize Since yesterday all I've done is sit and process this whole coronavirus thing. The CDC and WHO are saying things like 40 to 70 percent of the population will get this and retorting things like, It's going to get worse before it gets better. It all is worrisome, I've tried to rationalize with numbers like the odds of survival are something like 96.6 percent, But, That's not the entire equation, So what if the odds of survival personally are high, When you apply those same statistics to everyone you love You begin to realize the odds of any of us escaping this unaffected or without the loss of a loved one are abysmal.

I don't like this situation, I'm handling it as well as I can, But It's like a darkness that is going to affect a lot of people and even those people who survive will have lost important people along the way.

It's hard to act like this situation doesn't suck really badly, it does :(

Time to binge watch a new series or something, hopefully not Walking Dead or the like. This will eventually run its course. Not a whole lot we can do about it in the meantime. Actually, this is one of those times when doing less is better.

It was only a matter of time before a celebrity caught the a Corona virus. Tom Hanks and his wife are in Australia filming a movie. Bad timing and choice Tom. He probably will be stuck there for the foreseeable future.
 
Its possible my estimates were too good. In one day the infected have nearly doubled now. Over 100 now in Finland. Also it doesnt matter much now where the people come from, Austria, France, Sweden. Theyre pretty much all potential carriers, its getting really scary. Our government just strongly adviced that people dont travel to abroad and cancel every meeting, festival and event that have more than 500 people until the end of May. I dont think theyre doing enough...

Theres numbers being thrown that about 40 percent of finns may caught this virus, I dont like those odds. Most will be in the bigger cities.

Theres news tough that allegedly in China the the infections have lessened, maybe the peak has been reached hopefully(unless theyre spinning it). And it seems to be no more than 80 000 people or somewhere along those lines in a country that has 1.3 billion, but that depends also on what kind of measures they took.... well see how Italy fares and other countries.

I just found out there's a person in quarantine in a town 15 minute drive from where I live who may have the virus...

The shadow knows!
Here in Madison Stores everywhere are out of hand sanitizer and toilet paper.
K4 is suspended until April 4th.
All after class activities are canceled.
Sports events are being held without fans.
St Patricks day parade is still on. Debbie still plans to go with the varsity squad.
Bars restaurants and clubs are ghost towns..

The virus has popped up in the surrounding counties of where I live at now and the owner of the company I'm working at put out signs to all the truck drivers to stay in their vehicles and not enter our buildings anymore because of the virus they have to call us from the outside...

Coronavirus can remain in air for 3 hours, live on plastic for days, new study says

A new study suggests that the novel coronavirus COVID-19 can remain in the air for up to three hours, and live on surfaces such as plastic and stainless steel for up to three days.

The research, published in the medRxiv depository, also notes that the virus can remain on copper surfaces for four hours and carboard for up to 24 hours. The research found it could stay on stainless steel and plastic for anywhere between two and three days.

Just got back from running errands. Supermarkets, drugs stores, big box stores totally wiped out - like when a blizzard is coming only worse.

I remember ammo hoarding when Obama was elected. All sorts of crazy-assed rumors floating around and naturally people believing anything and everything. Bricks of .22 that used to go for maybe $10-$15 dollars quintupled in price. Severe shortages. Rationing. What was once commonly available became precious.

Later we found out that the people that produce the stuff were laying on 3 shifts and churning it out as fast as possible. Reality wasn't causing the shortages, the hoarding was. I even got a little nutty and still have some that'll last years yet.

At least the toilet paper will get used and for a more practical reason.

'In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe': Late psychic Sylvia Browne's eerily prophetic words spark claims she predicted coronavirus

View attachment 9064

Conspiracy theorists have claimed that the American psychic Sylvia Browne predicted the onset of the coronavirus in her book End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World.

.
So it was Sylvia Browne, Someone told me it was Dean Koontz. Either way, I have to admit, seeing that written so clearly, It does seem like prophecy rather than luck.
