    I cringed as I opened this thread because I thought it would be another place I had to give a bunch of technical info. I was training for highly infectious disease in Alabama where they were going to bring some of the quarantined people last week. But I think I like this thread. For the most part you are all level headed or not overly excited. I like it. Love the memes. We will get through this and no need to raid the stores or buy masks. 90% of the people I saw wearing masks as I traveled this week were wearing them wrong anyway. Just wash your hands and don’t touch your face and stay home if sick. We will survive this. 😊

    I wish I and all the other service (food, childcare, retail, etc) workers out there could stay home if sick. It isn’t financially feasible

    It’s often a hardship for every industry. Health care included. We are often more apt to go to work sick because there is no one to take our place. The health care industry needs staff. It’s a 24 hour a day 7 day a week career. It’s often not glamorous and we don’t always make enough that we can just take off two weeks either. It’s not afordable for us either. It is however our individual responsibility to stay healthy so we can work so do what you can to stay healthy so you don’t have to miss. And it is everyone’s responsibility not to spread it to others who could have Co morbiditiws or weak immune systems that could die from it. I tell our staff this all the time. Everyone has to do their part with every illness. We have to all care for each other.

    Individual responsibility to stay healthy? Against an airborne virus? Kind of sounds like blaming the person for getting sick. Think I'll go wash my hands

    Oh well, we're all gonna die someway. Who knows? Next heartbeat might be your last.
    I'm more concerned with people going through my stuff when I die. My phone and computer need to die with me. Maybe I should burn all those crazy writings and other "stuff" now?

    Us Aussies don't need to stock pile since most of our loo paper is made in Oz. There will be more on the shelves soon. The manufacturers said they have plenty. I guess the people stockpiling think we get it from China.

    People are definitely combing the stores looking for hand sanitizer. Sometimes I’m nice and tell them to put some rubbing alcohol in a little spray bottle

    Just make your own hand sanitizer
    3 parts rubbing alcohol to 1 part aloe vera

    Easy Breezy.

    Tell your daughter to try one of the larger chemist outlets or big office stationary supply shops. I got my sanitiser from Office Works.

    What does the aloe vera do in it? Sounds like it would be good for me since I have both at home.
