Yes you are still at risk
Well do you have anyone you can Skype or other video call ,sometimes just seeing faces respond to you helps with the feeling isolated thing .
I am blucollar construction dude, so I gotta go to work unless I croak lol
Coronavirus and flu are different things, so yes.
I am just the opposite now. in my 20s and 30s I was a rock musician and i was never home, always had to be out and about, being larger than life and the center of attention. Now that the lifestyle is gone and I am older and that I work in retail, I am perfectly happy to stay at home and away from people. My GF is much younger than me and I thought that would be an issue for her, but she's not big on going out, so it works out even though she manages to gets me out of the house more than I'd like, LOL
Be safe!
Yes. There is no vaccine for this virus and won't be for many, many months.
Economic news here in Canada is that the Canadian dollar is now worth $0.72 US. So A DAZ item that costs $1us now costs $1.40 Canadian.
My DAZ buying days are over for some time..... Now I guess I will just have to focus on rendering......
With those wonderful animations you make there will be plenty of render to do. I look forward to see what you come up with
I knew it would come in handy!
Supply Chain Concerns Spark Rush Orders on Canadian Maple Syrup
Yeah, the wife and I lucked out too on some chili. The wife liks Wolf Brand Mild Chili without Beans (this is Texas and there is just something wrong with putting beans in chili). The regular Wolf Brand Chili is too spicy for her acid reflux. The ONLY chili left on the shelf were 8 cans of Wolf Brand Mild Chili. We normally by 2 cans a week. We wearn't greedy, only bought 6 (2 for this week, two for next week, and two just because). But the other problem is THEY WERE OUT OF SALTINES (we're down to 1 tube) AND FRITOS!. Oh the Agony, THE AGONY. No Chili with crackers, and woe is me, NO FRITO PIE! Goiong on a quest for Saltines and Fritos tomorrow.
You can always add the second remake "I Am Legend" with Will Smith to the list. Or just break out the Kindle app and read I Am Legend by Richard Matheson and Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton. The books are much better than the movies (and the book I Am Legend is different from all three movies although the protagonist dies in the end same as the book but is.. nope not gonna spoil the book).
Another suggestion is Night of the Comet with a young Catherine Mary Stewart and Robert Beltran. Pretty good 80's post apocalypse dark comedy. No gore to speak of, no nudity, and lots of things implied (PG-13 movie that is pretty tame by todays standards). There are also a lot of bad B post holocost splatterflick, bo... uh, chest fest movies if you don't mind bad 80's R rated movies.
I'm praying for people. The number of confirmed cases have increased to thousands in just a week and many countries are having the doctors with the sadly choice of letting the elderly die so that they can attend the younger due to lack of resources and personnel.
And I don't understand the shortage of toilet paper and water. It was so sad today when I went to my local Wal-Mart store. Isles fully empty, no milk, eggs, can foods, just sad. I wish people wouldn't have overreacted and over expended. :(
Let's take care of ourselves and others. Be safe.
Time to go to Costco. Kirkland Maple Syrup good.
*puts beans in chili*
The stores near my house are completely out of national name-brand sliced bread and buns, but have plenty of excellent, fresh, store-made (but unsliced) products, and the wonderful Reising's French Bread loaves and buns (unsliced) from New Orleans. Apparently I am so old that I am one of the last surviving local humans to be skilled in Pan-kiri No Hōhō, the Way of the Bread Knife....
Hmmm... just me, the cats, books, games, dvds - why would I want another human in here?
"100 million pounds of syrup"
Shouldn't that be in litres or kilograms, Sevrin?
Don't wear a mask unless you are ill is fake news.
My husband has lung/ breathing/respitory issues since he suffered a PE during an operation due to a lengthly procedure and recyled (thicker) blood. My son works in the health industry. He called last Thursday and said my monitoring system is lighting up like a christmas tree, stay inside. It hits because it hits anyone with compromised health systems the hardest. He also said they are trying to diffuse panic but nake sure Dad wears a mask and gloves because it is airborne and spreads thru the eyes nose and mouth. The virus is Sars 2 and the disease it causes is the Corona 19. Sars 1 came from China also. This ne was derived from a bat. How the bat got into chinese food is anyones guess, but it spread via an animal product. This makes it touch for vegans because the lifespan of perishables is 3-5 days. This is where freezers and meats can be a saviour. Anyhow there is no vacine known to work but they concuted a serum from a rabbit and two other ingredients to come up wih something that might do the job. This is a flu type virus meaning you will get a sore throat, a cough/sneezes, fatigue headache and a fever. The common cold does not cause a fever. Sars started in the 1800's and wiped out a third of the population. We have had Ebola and the Flu and survived. The point is the virus lives 24-48 hrs on plastic cardboard and metal surfaces but will survive double that time if it is cacooned in mucus (sneeze or cough). The virus can show no symtoms meaning someone who looks and feels well can be a host and spread the virus. People with symptoms can take 5 days to feel symptoms and spread the virus unknowingly. The highest and pandemic contamination risk points are at the peak points of syntoms. Despite the propaganda wearing a mask, eyewear and gloves can protect you as the virus is airborne and thrives on eyes nose and mouth. Wearing a mask makes it impossible for you to touch a cart, store item, or door handle and touch your face later. The mask will keep you safer because those with no symptoms for 5 days are not wearing one. Also there is a shortage of masks and not all people infected have them. The appropriate mask must be N95. If you are out and about you must discard masks and gloves or store them in quarentine or isolated sealed tubs for over 72 hours. Money, coins receipts, and clothing must adhere to the 72 hour rule if unsanitized. The temp to kill the virus is 170 degrees or washing with soap for 20 seconds or more. The virus lives in the throat and nose. You need to gargle a alcohol product ( vodka or mouth wash) and wash your hands and nose. You can find the N95 at Home Depot etc. If everyone stayed home for 14 days the virus would die.
This is exactly why not everyone is advised to wear a mask and to stay home and socially distance. If everyone went out and wore masks to prevent getting sick, then the ones who ARE sick, and the vulnerable, elderly, health care workers, etc, don't have the masks they need.
I'm using reusable filtered masks, which we are washing every time we have to go out. 1 back up mask each, to wash and sanitize and fully dry between wearing. Leaving the disposable masks for those who need it more. Checking on those near me (and those abroad) to see if they have the essentials. Going to have to help those around us. Sometimes that means a bit of self isolation to prevent the spread of germs. Share the toilet paper and soap, not the flu.
The world will weather this. I hope we come out of it as stronger, kinder, better people. For the first time, we have a pandemic, with teh tools of internet and social media. We can check on each other, communicate, talk, buy things online. Be thankful for the ones on the 'front lines' serving in our hospitals, ambulances, health cares, administration for all the things, testing. The other front lines- the stores, the farmers, the delivery folk, distribution, and so on.
Everyone stay safe as you can. Make art. Write stories. Email family. Skype friends. :)
+1 for Night of the Comet, classic 80's movie...
Steve.
In my 20's I hung out and partied with rock musicians lol. Then moved on to entertainment industry events, then art events in addition to that, and I never stopped. Half my food I get from going to events. I work from home so I like to be social in the evenings. None of my friends use a phone to actually talk so now there's just texting and FB messaging. You'd never know we lived in the same city, sometimes just a few blocks away...
I have both an old gazelle and a rider workout machine on my balcony so got a little exercise outside in the rain (covered by my upstairs neighbor's balcony so I didn't get wet) and that was nice, looking out at the trees and greenery and listening to the rain as I worked out. So peaceful in the middle of a crisis. Not one neighbor walked by or came out on their balconies. It kind of felt like the Twilight Zone and I was the only human left on the planet. Apparently if EVERYONE self isolates for 14 days, it could really curb this thing.
I've given up hope for that latter part when I was in my twenties.. so about 40 years ago...
Tools of false rumors, misinformation, conspiracy theories and outright lies... The REAL information often gets drowned in a mass of uninformed opinions thet get "likes" and suddenly sound like truths... Without social media many governements probably would react a lot more calm to the current situation, leading to better results in the end. But with the social media panic mode activated, they hurry to actions that probably wouldn't be needed if someone first took some time to think.
Just see the toilet paper shortage to understand what social media hype can do... someone posts "omg we will have no toilet paper because reasons!" and everybody rushes to the stores and makes panic buys, which then really leads to shortages... Add to that the decline of Newspapers, which not only delivered better information, but also could be used as a not-so-bad toilet paper replacement
Yep. d'accord on this.
The first human trial of a vaccine to protect against pandemic coronavirus has started in the US.

You don't have to wait for print editions (and kill trees). Most newspapers have digital editions and you can get instant breaking news notifications. Several are doing subscription discounts now. I subscribe to the NY Times, Washington Post & LA Times now and also follow them, multiple other publications and individual journalists and health experts on Twitter. You can even follow Reuter's and AP wire. I'm constantly getting breaking news in real time before it hits TV (I don't actually have broadcast TV but when I can stream cable news they are often getting their news from the same sources I am anyway and it's already old news to me.) My father was a journalist and back in the day, had access to breaking news before the public from Reuters and AP wire, but now anyone can get it on Twitter!
LOL, they know a spending bill is being prepped as they demonstrate their heartfelt empathy for you.
I'm fortifying my toilet paper fort with boxes of Kleenex! I am sure my walls of plush white toilet paper will keep out the novel coronavirus! It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine!
Since it's sometimes hard to tell in text, just trying to inject some humor. I've actually been up all night worrying about what will happen if there are prescription medicine shortages, and I can't get my medications for a chronic health condition. I am sure I'm not the only one with this fear. :(
Here in Italy we are in quarantine, and this gives me time to render a lot. To me the problem will be after the virus, because I am sure I will have money problems, not being at work in these days.
The situation here is quite dramatic, but it seems we finally managed to convince the people to do not move from houses, which is fine to contain the propagation of the virus.
The healthcare system is still ok but we are on the limit of beds in the intensive therapy in hospitals. Toilet paper is not a problem, as well as having food in supermarkets.
Yes, as an American I was quite disappointed by the panic response in the USA. I have no idea how toilet paper would in any way stop a pandemic nor how shopping the stores bare would help anything. The novel coronavirus is scary, yes, but it seems to me the panic buying is making things even worse. I feel for you in Italy, and I hope the pandemic is over quickly for everyone's sakes.
All this distancing and isolation offers a great opportunity to re-evaluate life choices. It might be an unpaid vacation but its still time off to chill and reflect.
Isn't as easy to write when it's forty five million three hundred and fifty nine thousand two hundred and thirtyseven kg
Yesterday on 'The View' a doctor explained it. It is a psychological response, as humans it is one thing we can control for a bodily function. And reflects a fear that we might lose that ability (ie toilet paper may stop production in supply chains).
I am concerned for the supply chains overall. As the virus grows in the general population, will the items manufactured/grown, off-loaded at ports, inspected, whatever, have the manpower to perform the jobs. While it is the medical and first responders that are at the leading edge of danger, it is a network of supporting industries that keep our society going.
