This actually forced me to get the most expensive Basmati rice, instead of the cheap one I usually get.
Man, if you're going to stock up on rice and pasta, get some variety!
I got chickpea noodles, green pea noodles, red lentil noodles and two types of normal noodles.
And I'm not even preparing for anything, I just like to have the choice.
Work is at "level 3" since we're now seeing cases nearby in northern VA. They've installed infrared cameras in the lobbies for temperature screening, and encouraged to work from home if possible, and large gatherings greater than 50 people have been canceled.
Wow. My local shop in the village actually has both antibacterial gel and wash and it's on offer too. I'm going to be honest, I was half tempted to by a few, but I'm good for both at the moment so my judgement left them in hopes someone more vunerable will get them.
That study is already outdated. There has been 8 deaths on the diamon princess and there are still 30+ in serious condition
COVID-19 in 2 Persons with Mild Upper Respiratory Tract Symptoms on a Cruise Ship, Japan
COVID-19 in Persons with Mild Respiratory Tract Symptomswwwnc.cdc.gov
According to this study of the Diamond Princess ship with 6 deaths and 705 cases, 392 cases were asymptomatic. Interestingly, these asymptomatic cases include 101 in the 60-69 range and 139 in 70-79, not just the young.
Average age on board the ship was 58.
This study estimates the infection fatality ratio in China to be 0.5%.
There's just absolute silence from Maryland about further testing after the 3 cases announced last week. One person went to an event at a retirement home and exposed up to 100 people. There is no way this hasn't spread, but no one appears to be doing shit about it.
At least Whole Foods was being proactive and disinfecting the self-checkout stations after every use.

By using this you'll help other people, by not catching it so no transmitting it.
Edit : also as said by others, make sure the thing is effective against viruses too.

I definitely had a cold but today I'm feeling better. Maybe not the flu but trying to diagnose myself and hoping it's not related to the virus is a chore.
Coronavirus is not caused by bacteria. Make sure the product is effective against the virus.
Gonna see my grandmother later today.
I'm kind of afraid I have it and I'll pass it on to my grandmother. I have not felt sick at all, but still got that feeling in the back of my mind,

Antibacterial wont help much against a Virus, you need a antiviral item if such a thing exists without a prescription that is.
lol 😆. Yeah, but still really shocking to see. My wife was so spooked by it now she doesn't want to go to the cinema today to see Onward... :(
I very much doubt there will be lines during the apocalypse lol
What's giving you that feeling if you don't feel sick at all?
Ah, makes sense.
I have a alcohol based one at work and in the car, I'll have to check.
EDIT maybe a cleaning spray containing bleach for surfaces?
Yeah if its just for surfaces ya.
I've seen people talking about taking antibacterial medications before for viral illnesses so its a bit mind boggling lol. (Unless that helps - not sure, I'm not a medical professional).
Wife is being treated for the flu. We were worried it was coronavirus, but the doctor said she thinks her symptoms are more flu like. Wetter cough, soreness everywhere, mild fever (which broke this morning), and nausea. She's on antibiotics now...We'll see.
This probably explains why I barely get sick. I fuck all day.
Soap and water will work best, and you don't need any special kind of soap. It all does the same thing. If you can't wash your hands with soap and water, a 60% or greater alcohol-based sanitizer will do the job.
Antibiotics... for flu? Why?
Can't live your life being a hypochondriac. Make sure to have good personal hygiene and wash your hands.
If the hand sanitizerhas 60-90 percent rubbing alcohol it will actually help. Not all viruses (like sadly noravirus) but since corona is an enveloped virus the alcohol will break its protective casing. Btw, the antibacterial they used to put in hand lotions in soaps has been outlawed for that use for a few years to stop antibacterial resistance so pretty much all hand sanitizers rely on rubbing alcohol.
Again, the flu is a VIRUS. If she is being treated for the flu then antibiotics aren't the way to go.

I think I can see how this virus spreads now. I spent the last week in universal Orlando, had a great time. Place was packed too. But when I left the bathrooms I paid attention to see who would leave without washing their hands. So many people did, gross! Wash your hands people!!
It can make sense if you want to prevent yourself from also getting a bacterial infection in your weakened state. Like having the flu can lead to getting pneumonia, for example. But yes, it's pointless for dealing with the viral infection itself.
Not sure...I'm picking her meds up now. I probably misspoke. Looks like they're giving her antivirals. My wife is the doctor, not me. Ha.
35 people in Denmark has it now. 628 are in "quarrentine" but the way it works here is that you're personally responsible for not going out and infecting more people. At least for most people.
Secondary bacterial infections from flu is pretty common, like tonsillitis or adenoiditis.
Still think it's insane that the US isn't testing because they don't want the actual numbers getting out, I'd imagine the US must be in the thousands of infections by now.
US? If so I swear your doctors hand that shit out for everything. Antibiotics wont do shit for the flu
This doctor gave her antibiotics when she thinks she has the influenza virus?
Is it common to prescribe antibiotics for a flu because of this? To prevent pneumonia or something?
Read my previous response. They gave her an antiviral for the flu and something to help her coughing. Not antibiotics.
Y'all need to slow down, haha.
flu can be easily tested for. A diagnostic wasn't performed?
Fair enough lol. I just wouldnt be surprised because of how bad some doctors can be prescribing that for basically anything.
It must be way scarier in Japan. Densely populated cities and an older population…
A general physician certainly doesn't need to do specific diagnostic tests for a random flu-like illness. It's a huge waste of money. Almost as bad as starting antiviral meds for a flu in non-immunocompromised patients.
But apparently in some countries patients actually demand antimicrobial treatment and they are distributed like candy. Leading to resistance rates that are mindboggling. Makes my head hurt.
