I live out in the Bay Area in Cali, and Santa Clara County has been locked down since last Monday. In my opinion, it's a positive thing, though it just may not seem like it at first.
The mass hysteria has lessened, stores have been given a chance to replenish, and people can now just focus on doing the next RIGHT thing, not just acting out of emotion. I feel safer, as well.
A lot of people criticized our Governor for acting so early, and I'm no fan of his by and large, but to me this feels like the right call. I heard somebody say "We'll look back in this in 6 months and never know if we overreacted, but we'll know immediately if we underreacted.". Seems about right to me.
Thanks. Modern day cleaning is a far cry from the Mrs Mop image
honestly it's an easy mistake to make using premade cleaning products
I accidentally did it myself cleaning the toilet but immediately realised what I had done, held my breath, flushed and got the hell out of there, I had poured my ammonia based floor cleaner bucket in the loo which had White King in the bowl I had left there overnight and forgotten
My colleague's brother was, until last weekend, a delivery driver for ASDA (UK Walmart). On Sunday he delivered £230 of cleaning products to a customer. When he asked how long the lot would last them, they said ,'Not long, we're just going to sell it all on for a big profit'. My colleague's brother returned the delivery to the van and drove off. He was sacked on his return to the shop, but he still feels he was right. So do I.
Good for him for standing up for for what he thought was right. At the end of the day you have to live with yourself .. glad to see some people still have some ethics
RE price gouging douchecanoes...if you happen to see any on Amazon, you should be able to report it. To my knowledge, Amazon is putting a stop to it as soon as it's noticed.
There was an article about some of these characters... they don't think of themselves as bad guys... they see their price gouging merely as "redistributing the flow of goods to those who can't easily get them"...
Uh huh... sure.
$70 for a $1 bottle of hand sanitizer is a noble cause... you tell that to the guy in the red pajamas with the big fork when you get down there... see what he says... I hear he has a great sense of humor.
Wandering through the local big-chain grocery store in search of flour and yeast to do some baking (the local grocer was plumb out), I managed to find what I needed. Many of the shelves were stripped clean. But I noticed a shelf on one isle that was completely stocked. Duck fat. Three different brands and several sizes of duck fat. Now I know where to go for all my duck fat needs during this crisis.
(To be fair, some local folks like to cook fish and shrimp in duck fat, and it is very good. It is also traditional for some Asian dishes.)
We've been noticing that the healthier products, such as wheat and whole grains, brown rice, etc are the things that are being left behind here. Not sure what that says, lol. More for me.
There is a local distillary in my town (Manteo, NC) that is doing just that and giving it away free. They ran out within an hour or two but are getting more supplies and will have it available again in a few days.
It's awesome that the distilleries and breweries are doing that but I don't get the obsession with hand sanitizer. I believe even the CDC has said that for the average person, good 'ol soap and water should be the #1 defense and hand sanitizer only used as a secondary option.
flippin the bird at things telling me to stay home. i'm going outside to cherish my freedom.
Unfortunately it is difficult to carry hot water and soap around when out and about
In this situation, people really shouldn't be "out and about". If going to the store, wash hands prior to leaving. Wash hands upon return. That's my thoughts. I can't get hand sanitizer at all and we have no breweries handing it out, so good 'ol soap and water it is. Would I like to have it as a backup? Sure, but because people bought all of it along with all the tp, there isn't enough to go around. Gotta love all the baseline human selfishness that this whole thing has brought out to the surface in force. I could never bring myself to clean off a shelf and leave nothing for the guy behind me.
There's really nothing wrong with using Bleach to "sanitize" a toilet bowl in one's own home. When I say "sanitize", I mean pouring a small amount(maybe a cap-full) and letting it sit in the bowl for about an hour or so. The problem is that a lot of knuckleheads either use way too much, try to use it as a scrub cleanser at too high of a concentration(there are way better/safer alternatives for scrub cleansers), don't bother to flush the toilet before adding the Bleach, or flush the toilet soon after adding it. Concentration & reactant amounts make all the difference. I remember hearing a story about an idiot that tried to "clean" the toilet of an old camping vehicle by dumping a whole bottle of Bleach down it... without even cleaning out the storage tank beforehand. He had a very bad day, and it was his last one, too. All of that urea built up into the storage tank over the years, among other things, I can only imagine the products being formed in the resulting reactions.
For commercial cleaning, I wouldn't even use it unless a customer specifically requests it. Its a lot of hassle to use that stuff in a commercial setting where others can potentially be exposed to it.
Most of the stay home orders allow you to walk around outside.
You realize that if you read that post in an entirely different context, with different implications, it just makes you sound like you worked as a Wet Works operative for some spy agency... I'm surmising something between Emma Peel and Black Widow in your younger days, but still able to kill someone with playing card from across the room.
"... "Bleach" would only be issued to "operatives" who had been trained in the proper usage of it."... Yes... "Bleach"... "Operatives"... Wink-wink...
I'm also thinking you left the biz when a "toilet sterilization" went bad and there was collateral damage... I can't say for sure, there are moments when you seem haunted by a dark past and that's why you decided to moderate and help change the 3D world for the better.
I'm also sure there is a bigger story behind that club your avatar wields... I'll figure that out one day.
Here at the nearest Walmart it is for one hour on Tuesdays only, at six in the morning. Shaking head. Yeah, herd all the most vulnerable into a single hour each week, that sounds about right. Not.
Ok, so a warning on Instacart, when you use it the first time it will probably charge you automatically for an annual subscription to their service at $149. It doesn't really warn or ask you. So, watch your charges. I refuse to use Instacart.
I laughed at the rest, as I always do when you make a post, but that comment I will firmly absolutely and utterly refute. I left because the clients, in their wisdom decide we (the company) were too expensive because we wanted a 10% profit margin and they selected a company who were so desperate to get the contract that they were willing to quote at a 4% profit margin and still sign for up to 1% penalties if they slipped up on anything. The thing is with the way contract of this nature work is that the Manager is employed by the company, so even if the staff are protected by a TUPE agreement the manager is now redundant as the new company want their own manager in situations like this. In fact when you get to interview level during the bidding process the 3 people from each company are a director or very senior manager, a sales manager and the potential Contract manager, this is how much the eventual manager is deemed to represent the company.
Not sure if it depends on who the contractor is but my account shows nothing under subscription -
Instacart also lets you go through filling your cart then tells you to try back later, no delivery times available. I did order green superfood powder on Amazon and already have protein powder that also includes superfoods and anti-oxidants and I have a ton of vitamins. I also found a few masks that the doctor's office supplies when you walk in that I grab any time I go that I've had for a while and forgotten about.
Now that we're basically on lockdown and if hopefully some more tests become available, I can assess the risk of going food shopping next week. My area is super health conscious (organic food sells out much faster than ordinary food) so I hope the local stores are relatively safe and still have fresh organic food. So far no reports of the virus in my area even though it is HIGHLY populated and gets a lot of tourists, but, of course, very few have been tested. I have asthma and do feel my asthma has gotten worse in the last few days but hopefully just allergies and stress. I keep taking my temperature which is naturally low (97.5) so if it goes up to 98.6, that's actually a fever for me.
I haven't been out of the house since last Tuesday. Most of my friends, like me, are single and live alone. We are all communicating through text or FB messaging because that's what we've gotten used to. Apparently no one remembers that a phone can actually be used for talking with one's voice. I've only used my voice to talk to my cat but he likes the high baby voice I use with him and I think I forgot how to speak in a normal voice...
That's funny. I call some of my employees from time to time at work and they are like "why don't you just text me" I reply, because it's called a phone for a reason, that and I hate typing on that small screen.
Oh wow, I wonder if the local contractor has a different setup with them? This is what I see first when I go to the "shop online" page direct from the grocer's website -
Mine has you choose from several different stores FIRST. I started with Ralph's, filled my cart and almost everything asked if a substitution was OK, I said yes, then went to check out but no delivery times available. I had tried Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods and Yummy.com before that and then same thing. I'm sick of filling my cart over and over and not being able to check out. I'm going to wait till Monday to see if it calms down or just venture out. There's an overpriced grocery store right at the corner and a Rite Aid across the street. There are sooo many stores near me that I can't believe they'd all be out of stock if you go in person now that many people already stocked up. The things I want most are organic carrots, spinach and apples and those are the hardest things to find in stock online anyway. There were some higher end grocery stores available on instacart that are probably a lot more expensive to order from and I didn't try those yet but they are also smaller so probably less delivery windows too. I'm most concerned about nutrition so at least I'll have the green superfood powder on Monday and I probably have enough other food for a week. Grocery stores and pharmacies are remaining open and restock as normal. It's just sanitizers that are hard to find because people hoard that. It will be harder for people to hoard fresh fruit and vegetables! If my asthma gets worse or I'm too scared to go out, a friend said he'd pick up stuff for me anyway.
...the local Safeway has set up such times however, for me too, early as I'm rarely up and mobile before 08:30 and by the time I'd be fully awake and dressed for the outside (particularly if the weather is bad) those reserved shopping hours are over for the day (and it's only two days, Tuesday and Thursday). I'd rather they would just enforced purchase limits on necessities instead. I'm good for now but if this gets extended, not sure what will;happen. People are just being inconsiderate of others.
...
...or maybe the lemmings.
.
...yeah, granddad made most of our baked goods, breads,cakes cookies, the holiday stollen even one of my uncle's wedding cakes. as well as beignets and donuts. Always smelld so good and I agree, nothing like warm home baked bread.
...I read the other day that Elon Musk was going to make ventilators.
