I got the ethanol. Isopropyl has the same effect on the virus - both are good.

From the CDC:

“Swallowing alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause alcohol poisoning.

Why? Ethyl alcohol (ethanol)-based hand sanitizers are safe when used as directed, but they can cause alcohol poisoning if a person swallows more than a couple of mouthfuls.”

it is no longer necessary for someone who has been in contact with someone with COVID-19 to quarantine for 14 days. This is likely a function of greatly expanded testing availability. Expect there is a high confidence level with a negative COVID-19 test at +/- 5 days post exposure, as opposed to wait and see whether symptoms arise within 14 days.

While it may seem confusing and frustrating, there is a learning curve for all new illnesses. Guidelines are revised as patterns emerge based on a variety of factors.

reservoir species, And that’s why the chicoms need to eradicate their diseased little monsters by the hundreds of thousands with as much ruthlessness as they want to show off in Pakistan with the locusts.

Inbreeding of infected animals is a disaster on slow burn waiting for the slightest breeze. China has stated that the world’s animals are a resource for the Chinese people to exploit, endangered they don’t care. If they don’t clean up their act and start thinking about disease prevention at an IQ level above 80, there won’t be many food sources left to exploit - by anyone. The world can’t help but cringe every time they have another outbreak of bird flu or swine fever, which are more and more frequent and more and more lied about and covered up. But the environuts are nowhere to be found when it comes to pressuring the CCP.

Ethyl alcohol forms an azeotrope with water. The highest percent you can get with distillation techniques is somwhere around 95%. To get a higher percent ethyl alcohol you have to use other solvents to ‘dry it out’. Those solvents aren’t usually great things to have, even if they’re just on your skin.

Great :( It says that it is 200 proof (100%) but with additives to make it undrinkable. (So obivously not 100%).

I guess I should make up a batch before I run out of the store-bought stuff to see how it compares.

Two months ago my biggest problems were trying to get chores done around the house!

FUCV!

I know that Xi said it’s over, and the stock market is soaring this morning.

But I figured we should start another thread.

Some of my friends were pilots. Their flying contributed to them being bacteria reservoir sacs.

Most of them are better now.

do what? 10 cases and they’ve thrown in the towel? I can hear the heads exploding in Sacramento all the way down in SoCal.

sure, let’s just do some ethnic cleansing in the county, get rid of all the disabled young. And btw, all you old people who built Sacramento’s wealth, well, you just stay in your homes forever or it’s your own fault if you get infected by tide pod people, who needs you now anyway? And forget about PPEs. What’s to worry? Oh, and those bulletins the state HHS put out yesterday...just tear them up like you’re Nancy Pelosi. You’re in Sacramento now. (bigly /s)

a knee-jerk reaction to the nurses union?

and the State’s response is...?

“It remains to be seen how ham radio will figure into the corona virus events”

Maybe someone is staying in their house will use the radio for entertainment or work some DX. I have a hotspot will monitor that and at lunch I will see if we have openings on 20 meters.

in order to have a ‘high confidence’ at 5 days, one would have to know the specific day and time that one had contact with an infected in order to determine when the 5 days commenced. Which would be kind of hard unless the contact person wears a magical neon sign, I became infected on... touch me! And it would rely on the person infected to actually seek medical attention at 5 days and be tested at 5 days. Which is when Most display symptoms but Most would think it was a cold and go beyond 5 days before seeking medical attention.

The purpose of quarantine besides the obvious is to identify the superspreaders. Or we could have a measles party for the nation without consent and see how close to 20% mortality we can get just for giggles.

Make sure to drink some Corona beer. They’re taking quite a hit.

It has arrived in my town of Acworth. Closed a daycare facility after an employee there tested positive. Probably not li g before they close the schools here too.

That is a great way of looking at it. I’ll have to remember that phrase.

When other countries can get the test results back in 4-5 hours, there’s is NO reason the US can’t. That hospital could have had him wait in a room 5 hours instead of sending him home and now back again. How many did he infect by Monday? If the hospital didn’t take precautions themselves, well, there’s all those people who came in after him potentially catching it.

Tucker did great and I’m kicking myself for falling asleep in the middle of the rerun last night. Yeah, that some times happens with us useless waste of oxygen 60+ year olds.

I don’t want to catch the flu, either. Back to back pneumonia nearly killed me at 40 so I’m taking CV very seriously.
