LOL It's 60-95 percent. !00% alcohol won't work, as you said, because it evaporates too quickly, and you need at least some water in there for the alcohol to even work (solvent and surface tension). Numerous studies have shown that 60% alcohol will kill almost all bacteria, and viruses that...

If I had to guess, using minimal information, I'd say freight is down at least 50%. But there is fright moving. I haven't heard of any issues moving between states. Supplies like hand sanitizer, Kleenex, wipes, those are pretty scarce right now. Easier to get those than N95 masks, tho. At...

Poor Jim Acosta gave it his best shot. "Would we be fewer deaths if we had acted sooner? Yada Yada Yada" Dr Fauci... "The problem with a question like that is you end up with a sound bite that can be taken out of context." Jim Acosta... "Well, crap. That's what I was after." I thought it...

There's certainly a lot less traffic out here.

Andrew Cuomo says.... People are stealing masks and other medical equipment from hospitals, New York Gov. Cuomo says Nobody questions it. Nobody loses their mind over it. Brooklyn mask hoarder arrested for coughing on FBI agents claiming he has coronavirus

That ad is a winner.

Oh, I have no illusions. I'm over 60, overweight, type II diabetes, coronary artery disease, and COPD. (overweight and diabetes seems to be a couple of the biggest factors, oddly enough). According to the doctors on the front lines, keep your distance, 6 feet minimum, but it's probably going...

But that's not how viruses work. You don't have a highly contagious virus in your midst for 6 months or a year, and then suddenly notice it, and the reason you just noticed it is because it's been here for a while and is just now getting going. Which one would you rather have after 30 days...

I missed that, but it's possible. Japan, Korea, Indonesia, they've been wearing masks in default for years, mainly to deal with air pollution, and I don't think it's a coincidence that they had low transmission rates. Plus, I think the American people are beginning to catch on to the CDC's and...

For the curious, attached is a guide to face mask types.

Did they say what kind of masks they'll be making there? I'm guessing the face shields with the clear plastic shield. But maybe not. I just know how difficult it is to make N95 masks. You need special machines to make the material, but I guess they could be outsourcing that.

It's as laughable as closing the borders up tight on Jan 25th, but looking back it would have been as awesome idea. But nobody KNEW. Everyone had opinions, thousands of them, but nobody KNEW anything. Somebody had an opinion that was right, but nobody knew what that was at the time. And to...

I am aiming at everybody who is trying to bayonet their own side. I don't care who they are or what political leanings they have, anyone who wants to apply what we know today to a few weeks ago what was unknowable at the time, they're f'ing morons who are intentionally trying to do harm to other...

Incidentally, for those geniuses who can't figure out what side they're on in this war, it is... HUMANS versus CORONAVIRUS Pick a side, Einsteins.

I just have one question for you. And it's a genuine question that I'd like an answer to. WTF is wrong with you?

People who want to go back and look at decisions and comments made 2, 4, 6 weeks ago, by anybody, when nobody knew anything, and then critique those decisions and comments based on what we know today, are stone-cold luzers and I have zero tolerance for that kind of adolescent crap. It's...

Normally, when you hear someone is on a ventilator, it's usually pretty bad and it doesn't get a whole lot better. That's not always the case, of course. My mom was on a ventilator for 5 days after her cancer surgery, and she came off it with no problems. But in the case of coronavirus, they...

Not really the thread for it, but didja see AOC go full-on flailing car-dealership tubeman? I'm not even going to talk about how she's railing on Republicans for something that every single Democrat voted for.

Man, I hope you and your wife are OK. One thing to keep in mind is, pandemics turn everybody into hypochondriacs. People are hyper in tune with every twinge of a symptom, and they immediately jump to the pandemic, even though the flu, the common cold, all of that is still present. Another...
