Coronavirus

I'm a little unclear. It was my understanding Crozier sent out numerous memos within the Navy, and someone in the Navy leaked the info.

I saw the videos of the ships crew cheering his name when he departed the ship.

From what I understand he did that, then he sent out a email to a bunch of people that was sounded much more serious than what he told the Navy and since it wasn't really secure in any way that email got leaked.

Trump says it was 'inappropriate' of ex-USS Theodore Roosevelt commander to write memo | CNN Politics

President Donald Trump on Saturday said it was "inappropriate" for the former USS Theodore Roosevelt commander to widely send a letter warning that action was needed to save the lives of his crew from an outbreak of coronavirus aboard the aircraft carrier.

I've spent a some time looking for any kind of cotton face masks where the sellers aren't trying to gouge to bad and then be shipped in a couple days. Not having much luck. I ordered a bunch of bandannas for my crew... I think they will be better then nothing.

Anyone have a line on any masks... I now know I should have been doing this a couple weeks ago.

 

[Jim Oaks]

Good luck.

I've looked on Amazon. Price gouging, and scams. Read reviews from people that didn't get what they ordered, or the quantity they ordered. Saw several that don't ship until May.

 

[Uncle Gump]

Exactly what I saw too...

Bandannas it is.

I'm hoping that at a corporate level they will auto ship to my store. I know tomorrow they're shipping gloves.

 

[Jim Oaks]

Latex gloves have gone way up in price too. If you find masks, let us know.

 

[Uncle Gump]

Will do...

I'm afraid of what they're gonna bill me for the gloves... if it's to high I will source them myself next time.

Can't find alcohol or alcohol wipes anywhere. I have half a box left but I'm diabetic and need that stuff to test my blood. Use eyeglass cleaning wipes I guess.

Alcohol... peroxide... antibiotic ointment and a few other basic medical supplies are on my lessons learned list.

A prepper tip I picked up several years ago was FishMox and FishPen. Same stuff you have to get a script for from your doctor. I have a couple bottles of each. I don't have a single Tylenol though.

Edit... the wife found and bought a couple bottles of arthritis strength generic Tylenol. Can't be without that if you start running a fever.

Oh yes you can.

Our youngest had the flu bad this year, and the doc told us as long as she hasn't been above 104 for more than a few hours to not give her a fever reducer, let the fever run it's course and burn out the virus.

I got a cold right when all this was beginning and I did a sort of artificially induced fever, wearing sweat-shirts and wrapping myself in several heavy blankets. Not sure if it did anything, but I sure was toasty.

So ummm… what do you do if the fever don't break? Pray they don't die?

I keep Tylenol for fevers...

Yes, fever triggers immune system response, tells it go into OD to find the problem
But you don't want it to go too high, above 101deg gets dicey
The old adage "feed a fever, starve a cold" is correct, get warm and stay warm if you have a mild fever, it keeps your immune system on top of things
If you take drugs to reduce a mild fever it tells immune system to relax as well
Not sure if a few degrees higher body temp would kill off bacteria or viruses but wouldn't hurt

And that is the reason anyone's medical kit should have some Tylenol in it.

I needed some Tylenol for my shoulder when the Vicodin ran out. Had Motrin but for this acetomenafin is what I needed. Supermarket and Walmart were wiped out. Found some store-brand Tylenol acrossthe street from my work. They didn't have much left. Sales clerk says "You get a second bottle for half price", I said no, I think 150 pills will be enough. Left unsaid was the fact that I'm not a selfish hoarding dickwad.

With an aquarium bumping up the temp a couple degrees causes parasite’s life cycle to speed up, things like ick can then be dealt with faster with gravel vacuuming.

I have wondered if that has something to do with fevers. Body turns up the heat for some advantage in killing intruders.

I think we should all take a moment.

And discuss

What it's going to take

To get @Bird76Mojo s opinion on this.

Do we summon him?

He has to be itching in quarantine.

Or with Alex Jones.

Or in Illinois.

@RonD? You can fix anything ??‍
