Also Im being required to head to toe sanitize my jobsite this morning. But, i have to locate a store that HAS sanitizer and do the sanitizing myself. Better than not sanitizing i suppose sdn I am on board with doing it, just seems like an odd thing as I am not trained in proper sanitization. I will do my best as always.


I do love a good zoo. Shhh tho, dont say it out loud, cascadia is gonna call you an asshole.

Bleach is a sanitizer. Go on the bleach websites to see what the ratio is. Hydrogen peroxide also. Make your own hand sanitizer with 70% alcohol and aloe vera gel.

Every person I have been in contact with has been chill and just taking it in stride.

* Impossible not to notice cashiers are 2 or 3 feet away from customers. Hardly "social distancing". Not much they can do about it. They are handling cash, touching items others have touched, etc.
I feel bad for those who are nervous. They need to work to make a living and there isn't much they can do to protect themselves.
* Target store is/was sold out of toilet paper. A 20 something year old girl says to a random person, "What about people who really need toilet paper"? Of course asshole me chimes in, "Cleary everyone really needs toilet paper - that's why they are sold out". Other girl says, "If you are completely out you could knock on your neighbor's door and ask them to borrow some". Other random person - "How do you know if your neighbor has the coronavirus - I wouldn't do that".
Later the cashier told me she just had a woman tell her she didn't want the cashier to touch her items and the woman asked her AFTER she used the shopping cart if the shopping cart had been sanitized today.
Unreal.
* At 7-11 I witnessed a customer cough in his hand and then reach in his pocket and hand the cashier cash.
Unreal.
* At the UPS Store I asked the employee if they had been busy or if business has been slow. He told me he had a customer yesterday who asked him if he had any Asian customers come in. The customer told him, "The Asians are contaminated".
Unreal.

Actually, these days "unreal" is very real.

I’ve told her to not panic but things happening now are all proactive instead of reactive. You want to try something. Instead of not doing anything and then be too late.

This is the most frustrating thing. We've done almost nothing -- and the hospital, local, state, or federal level to try to ensure the health and safety of health care workers. Shit got bad in Wuhan (pardon the racism) when health care workers started getting sick. If everyone is sick, then there's no hope.
