Covid-19

My grandmother survived the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic. She used to always tell us that sickness travelled in the wind. Of course no one believed her. I had a bit of a vision yesterday, that she could possibly know these things. Self isolating is pretty easy for country folk, yes they would wonder about these things if people became ill while isolating. This is like a time capsule that was handed to me from previous generations, and I am listening.

I’m not talking about any wind here. I’m talking about strong winds. How long can a water droplet stay suspended in strong gust? All is takes is a cough into the wind and it’s loaded. Imagine a strong wind blowing through a city of sick people. If I have to go out in a strong wind it will be with a mask for the near future.

Want to hear my granny’s advice? Wear a coat and a hat if you go outside, especially if you are sweating (working). Limit your exposure to strong winds. Always keep a mint candy in your mouth when outside. Always drink water regularly, and have something warm to drink when you come in.

The intent of this is not to scare people, or spread misinformation. As pointed out in this thread already, six feet might not mean shit, nobody truly knows.

Anybody with the time to do so should read the historical accounts of the 1918 pandemic, there is wisdom to be found. If anyone likes what I wrote, please share it.

If you haven't already, you should really educate yourself and encourage others to do the same. Facebook isn't a good source for info. Try WHO or CDC sites for info.
@curious2garden do you have a site you frequent for info?

How long can the coronavirus stay airborne? I have read different estimates.

A study done by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases' Laboratory of Virology in the Division of Intramural Research in Hamilton, Montana helps to answer this question. The researchers used a nebulizer to blow coronaviruses into the air. They found that infectious viruses could remain in the air for up to three hours. The results of the study were published in the New England Journal of Medicine on March 17, 2020.

I sort of get what you're saying but there really is no comparison to WWII. In that war we could see the enemy. Also, back then people were much tougher than they are today. Today people are weak. They get their information from some whacky nutcase website. The spectacle on the beaches in Florida is proof of that. You can't shoot a bullet or drop a bomb to kill the virus. In WWII people were enlisting to fight for their country. Now all people want to do is hoard supplies for themselves.
 
Very Sad!

An Italian priest who gave a respirator (that his parishioners had purchased for him) to a younger coronavirus patient he did not know has died of the disease.
Father Giuseppe Berardelli, 72, died in hospital in Lovere, Bergamo - one of the worst-hit cities in Italy.

Coronavirus: At least 50 priests killed by coronavirus

Earlier reports that one of them, Giuseppe Berardelli, gave his respirator away have been denied.

Preppers are crazy right? We knew this day was coming. New world order shifting into gear.

You can have a stockpile of supplies without all the other ridiculous beliefs many preppers have. The Mormons keep plenty of supplies on hand. I always have a couple months worth of food and other supplies on hand. Lots of people keep an emergency stash that are not preppers. What's crazy is how many people have absolutely nothing on hand. Too many people have no money stashed, maxed out credit cards, brand new $50,000 rigs and the payments that come with them, broke a couple days before payday and waiting on their paycheck.

Too many people haven't been taking care of business. They have no financial sense. It a "Spend it now" mentality. They don't realize that one crisis and everything they have could be gone. Hopefully this will wake them up and they will start saving in the future instead of this spend because they gave me credit mentality.

Part of why it is almost guaranteed we will all get it. But we need to flatten that curve, they need 80 TIMES more respirators than is currently available.... I saw FIAT converted one of their motor factories now to start making them.
Will consider them.

You want to be one of the first or last to get it.
