...and you'd probably be wrong to do so, as to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing.
Which is a moot point, this virus doesn't care what political party anyone is.

Most of the large stores around my neck of the woods are instituting limitations on how many people can be in their stores at any given time, so maybe there's a similar situation in your location.

COVID-19 appears more dangerous than the flu, but look at the factors that play into that.OjitroC wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 11:57 pmIt appears that COVID-19 is significantly more dangerous than seasonal flu given the difference in the death rates (and in the numbers that require hospitalisation).
But I still can't see what overall point you are making - why compare the two? What's the purpose? What conclusions do we draw (after all, the only reason to compare two 'things' is to draw conclusions)? What are the practical outcomes from that comparison?
At the end of the day, the comparison is meaningless - there is a global COVID-19 pandemic that needs to be addressed - that's the important thing surely, not a argument over whether one disease is more dangerous than another!
The danger in the comparison is to downplay the need to take the necessary precautions to reduce the spread (and speed of spread) of COVID-19 - "Seasonal flu could be considered much worse than COVID-19" "Oh well, that's good, we don't need to worry about social distancing, staying at home, not coughing in people's faces, etc, etc"
Yes, we know - a lot of people on here will be living in areas with lockdowns of varying severity (no leaving the home basically except to buy food) and high mortality.BadCorps wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 2:58 am Yes, there are a few new recommended precautions like stay 2m apart and don't touch your face. However those aren't (by themselves) terribly effective. It is the combination of sanitation habits that can prevent the spread and what heavily contributes to lifespan.
What! You can't use a cloth bag? Why's that?
If I had to guess its because the cloth is a good carrier for the virus. It can latch on easily.

The store I visit says you can take your own bag, but they won't bag it for you. Not sure if that was what they meant. However, they might insist anyway because cloth bags are brought from home and may be a vector for the virus.Red_Fist wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 4:39 am I had a perfect plan, the stuff I spay is not meant for the skin.
So I sprayed a cloth grocery bag and let it dry to put my stuff in.
I walk into, a small (almost expired food type of store), and they told me they don't allow cloth bags, LoL (understandably) so I ended up getting more germs than I wanted.
