Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

You're going to hell.

lol...hence why there was no catholic school for me beyond 8th grade

Congratulations Columbia County! See..... there is wiggle room and it's not "one size fits all" or "as Seattle goes so does the rest of the state." Now eastsiders will have to find something else to bitch about (and I'm sure they will).


Congratulations to our friends in Columbia County, which today was one of five counties to receive approval to move into Phase 2 of Gov. Jay Inslee’s Safe Start plan early.

We'd love to be able to move ahead as well, but in order to do that, Walla Walla County must have no new cases of COVID-19 for three weeks. Our counts haven't risen too much this week, but they still have increased.

Please join us in continuing to do the things that will help prevent additional positive cases — stay at your own home unless you're going out for activities that are absolutely essential, stay at least 6 feet away from other people and don't congregate in groups, wear a mask when in public, and wash and sanitize your hands and surfaces regularly.

Let's all work to get to Phase 2 as soon as possible!

I spent much of my early life eating deep fried seafood and fries from a local place a town away on Fridays. My Mom, not the most enthusiastic cook, bless her, most likely enjoyed that day, an early entry into the weekend. I had been beaten enough by nuns at that point to a accept the choice of proteins before Sunday steak.

On the plus side, maybe this will get more people to wear masks:






Why does the guy look angry?

OK serious question. In my line of work it's generally accepted that irrigating a dirty wound or a belly full of pus or shit with salt water in copious amounts is all that is necessary to reduce bacterial counts to safe numbers. "Dilution is the solution to pollution." No antiseptics necessary--)and possibly harmful in the belly because they can be absorbed into the blood stream). Would the same thing be true of washing produce--soap not necessary; you don't have to kill the virus just wash it down the sink?

Covid fomites on store produce... fomites should be desiccated droplet fallout or perhaps desiccated fluids from contact. The former should dissolve and wash away quite well without soap while the oily nature of skin would make contact delivered viral particles more likely to benefit from soap (or just more extensive washing).

We shouldn't expect kitchen soap to absorb into produce with brief contact, of course we should wash it away well

But I don't use soap to wash off lettuce when I fear E.coli, I'm not going to use soap on produce because of COVID! I'm going to wash it the way I always do knowing that most food poisoning cases in the US are from contaminated produce.

E.coli can survive on food for up to a month with refrigeration or without!

Based on surface detect ability studies of COVID, I also would NOT expect viable SARS-CoV-2 on dry produce surfaces after a few hours... maybe a day. COVID is by far more fragile than bacterial food contaminants.

If Fauci is giving him the test it's probably a fake test.

Columbia County (or Ferry, Garfield, Lincoln and Pend Oreille) is a long way to go for that and I'm not sure the stylist there would be up to Seattle standards.

It looks neoprene. <shudder> I can feel the suffocation and sweat already.

Dammit Jim I'm a doctor not a microbiologist, but I Vaguely remember reading something about soap breaking down the structure of cell walls or SFT

IMO a person infectd with the covid virus would have to do some pretty depraved stuff with yer zucchini to infect you

Old heart surgeon I scrubbed with when I was an intern scrubbed with Ivory soap instead of disinfectant. He went at it with a vengeance--soap on the walls, soap on the floor, soap on the ceiling. I thought he was old fashioned, turned out he was ahead of his time.
Surgeons during the early part of the aseptic era didn't use gloves. They sterilized their hands with carbolic acid and mercuric chloride. William Halsted was the father of modern surgery and surgical education. His scrub nurse, Carolyn Hampton, developed a severe skin reaction to the chemicals and began wearing sterile gloves, which Halsted had Goodyear make for her, as a substitute for the chemicals. Fortunately for the history of surgery she wasn't allergic to latex. Halsted wound up marrying her, and sterile gloves became the standard way of sanitizing hands, although surgeons use disinfectant as well in case the gloves leak or in case there is an unnoticed breach of technique in gowning and gloving..

My favorite gloves are Biogels. They have an amazing feel. They slip right on despite being powder free and they allow excellent touch. They are made by the company that makes Trojans.

If you had the choice between Miller and Kushner getting the covids, to which god would you pray?

Kushner is incompetent, thrust into history by circumstance. Miller has steadfastly wormed his way to power primarily on a pretense based on pure evil.

Not even close.

This.

[zartagen]

^ But let's not forget that Kushner is still a slimy slumlord, idiot or not.

On the other hand, can Stephen even get infected? Can a virus infect another virus? Is that cannibalism?
