Rule number 1: never shake hands during a pandemic. I thought everyone got a copy of the rules?


For those of you that were cheering on the impeachment.......mike pence is way worse than what you were cheering against.

Oh. Here are the rules if you didnt get your handout on syllabus day:

1) NO HANDSHAKING! Use a fist bump, slight bow, elbow bump, etc.
2) Use ONLY your knuckle to touch light switches. elevator buttons, etc.. Lift the gasoline dispenser with a paper towel or use a disposable glove.
3) Open doors with your closed fist or hip - do not grasp the handle with your hand, unless there is no other way to open the door. Especially important on bathroom and post office/commercial doors.
4) Use disinfectant wipes at the stores when they are available, including wiping the handle and child seat in grocery carts.
5) Wash your hands with soap for 10-20 seconds and/or use a greater than 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer whenever you return home from ANY activity that involves locations where other people have been.
6) Keep a bottle of sanitizer available at each of your home's entrances. AND in your car for use after getting gas or touching other contaminated objects when you can't immediately wash your hands.
7) If possible, cough or sneeze into a disposable tissue and discard. Use your elbow only if you have to. The clothing on your elbow will contain infectious virus that can be passed on for up to a week or more!



What I have stocked in preparation for the pandemic spread to the US:
1) Latex or nitrile latex disposable gloves for use when going shopping, using the gasoline pump, and all other outside activity when you come in contact with contaminated areas.
Note: This virus is spread in large droplets by coughing and sneezing. This means that the air will not infect you! BUT all the surfaces where these droplets land are infectious for about a week on average - everything that is associated with infected people will be contaminated and potentially infectious. The virus is on surfaces and you will not be infected unless your unprotected face is directly coughed or sneezed upon. This virus only has cell receptors for lung cells (it only infects your lungs) The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth.
2) Stock up now with disposable surgical masks and use them to prevent you from touching your nose and/or mouth (We touch our nose/mouth 90X/day without knowing it!). This is the only way this virus can infect you - it is lung-specific. The mask will not prevent the virus in a direct sneeze from getting into your nose or mouth - it is only to keep you from touching your nose or mouth.
3) Stock up now with hand sanitizers and latex/nitrile gloves (get the appropriate sizes for your family). The hand sanitizers must be alcohol-based and greater than 60% alcohol to be effective.
4) Stock up now with zinc lozenges. These lozenges have been proven to be effective in blocking coronavirus (and most other viruses) from multiplying in your throat and nasopharynx. Use as directed several times each day when you begin to feel ANY "cold-like" symptoms beginning. It is best to lie down and let the lozenge dissolve in the back of your throat and nasopharynx. Cold-Eeze lozenges is one brand available, but there are other brands available.
I, as many others do, hope that this pandemic will be reasonably contained, BUT I personally do not think it will be. Humans have never seen this snake-associated virus before and have no internal defense against it. Tremendous worldwide efforts are being made to understand the molecular and clinical virology of this virus

Sure. Why not?

It's already going to take out Ayatollah Khamenei and the Pope, so why not the planet's third great religious leader?


(And yes, I know. But the Vatican is lying.)

Also, WTAF?

Hold on. Farting might transmit it? Wtf.

Well now I know what I can do for fun today.
I'm going to sit in a stall in the Mens Room at work, fart, and yell, "There ya go - Have yourself a little Coronavirus courtesy of me".

I figure it will be proper payback for last week when during our company's Black History Month trivia night one of the teams thought their team name - "Can I get a Lyme Disease to go with my Coronavirus" was a funny.

never go ass-to-mouth...

Exactly! And never agree to Apple's terms and conditions without reading them first.

A lesson on hand washing from a medical doctor (and sanest person on the internet).

Damn, I was just gonna make a Terrance and Phillip joke, yet getter and trad went full ATM!

People need to learn to stay home from work when theyre sick. I dont care if its coronavirus or influenza or a cold. Just stay home.

On average, we can’t put that on the employee.

it would seem that too many don’t have that option

you and i, i think, are in the minority by having such a “luxury”

I agree. Problem is most people are "infected" the day/s before they stay home and workers are already exposed.

Yea, yea, and yea. All 3 posts are true. But its still frustrating to have a worker come to the jobsite obviously sick...i sent him home. Fuck that. You can install tile next week. Get that shit away from me. For him though, he doesnt get paid until he's done but thats between him and his company.

Now im gonna go take a purell shower

Sorry for talking about work. My bad ous.

lol

I was just gonna say, if you want sick people to stay home from work then go make the case in the minimum wage thread.
