No, I'm doing the recommended hand washing, over and above my usual. I simply am dealing with friends whom I know and I am willing to take the risk of contracting a transmission of this virus, because I think it is wildly overblown by the media and the Democrats for political purposes.
Did I say I was gathering together in large groups? No. So then what would be the problem with seeing friends and going about life as I am?
You 'know' your friends, yes, but do you know who they were in contact with and who those people were in contact with and so on? No you don't. The virus could enter your social group and family very easily. You're going to the grocery store? How many items did you pick up and then not purchase?
None. Just grabbed the stuff gloved. Is the virus on your hands? Is the virus on the food you are purchasing? Invariably others are touching foods before you pick them up.
Here you have nailed the risk of going out, not just for groceries but gasoline and gosh knows what else. For food it's a risk i will have to take. But now I have enough to last me three more weeks of isolation... Then when you give the clerk your dollar bill it has been touched by perhaps dozens of other individuals?
I shop with a debit card which i tap once on the machine. Perfectly sanitary.Tell me something. Do you bring your own sack to carry your groceries, so that you don't "pollute" the world with plastic bags?
Used to before the pandemic but now I use the store's plastic bags which I grab from the dispenser and then bag my own groceries - this strategy is how the store protects its cashiers from contact with the customers. They have also erected plexiglass barriers at the checkout... How many bacteria are on those filthy bags you've brought to the store to put your food into? Do you wash those carry bags? If you say "yes I do", I'll would say I don't believe you. You've never thought about that in your life now have you? Why would you? If I brought those to the grocery store by habit, it wouldn't have crossed my mind either to wash them in the washing machine..
I have some cloth bags and they are washable .... Thanks for the useful idea. I may try using them next time.....then washing them at home...I can read numbers in the USA, and I see that the trend is lowering as far as the percentage of deaths per person infected, and I believe it will go down further and further as the numbers of infected individuals in relation to those dying INCREASES.
This is a 'wait and see' project for all of us to watch unfolding...I also believe that the left has an agenda as usual. They see this as an opportunity to "not let a crisis (virus) go to waste".
We could spend a lot of time detailing the "agenda" of both political parties.......wouldn't accomplish much, though..
Futhermore, just because a person calls himself a scientist, doesn't mean a lot, sometimes. There are plenty of scientists
yeah, virtually every one of them around the world with PhD's in their fields and years of scholarly research who tell me that Global Warming is the NUMBER ONE threat to the planet. I know that it isn't.
Please share with us where you got your PhD in Geophysics or Bioclimatology or Geology or Chemistry or Botany or Glaciology etc. that you can flatly state that they are all wrong and you are right.. Therefore I may not trust the brilliance of all these people telling me how to run my life.
Certainly I'm taking precautions, however I'm not overly hysterical about the whole situation.
Oh, and right back at you. I hope you stay well!
