How about fetching your paper from your driveway, removing it from the plastic bag, and then washing your hands?

Perhaps you could cancel your subscription to The Daily Sun if this concerns you so much.

Are you going to carry wipes and wash your dishes and drink glasses when a server bring them Or wipe down all your purchased store items after the clerk scans them

[thelegges]

Newspaper, what is used in case of an emergency delivery of a baby. You must really be in panic mode, if you think your newspapers are out to get you

I purchased 2,000 disposal gloves from Amazon $11.99 ( 500) per box, free delivery. I carry them everywhere. Very useful playing Pickleball, especially after the match ends I shake hands, where others have stopped that practice, they touch paddles or elbows.

Some of my neighbors liked my idea so they have ordered them. It's catching on. I have now ordered 2 more boxes, I shake a lot of hands, no elbow greetings for me ! :clap2: :popcorn:

Well aren’t you the clever one! So, you shake person 1 with your gloved hand, then shake person 2’s hand passing germs from person 1. Then shake 3 passing 1 and 2’s germs, and on and on. Brilliant.

As long as you get a daily paper, you’ll never run out of toilet paper. The phone book also works, if you have one. Sears catalogs were long a favorite, but they are hard to find these days.

It was found to be fake.
It sounded very plausible but some investigated, and most of the alleged sources did not make the statements.
Fooled me though, but that isn't hard these days!!:shrug:

TV is filled with elderly people who cling to the past and unable to adapt to rapidly changing conditions in this coronavirus world
The president declared this a national emergency because this is much more dangerous than the flu and TV is very vulnerable because of the age of people here and their inability to adapt to a brave new world we live in

[togabill]

Heck, the Spanish Springs and Fiesta Bowling Centers are still open. Can’t think of a worse place to be with hundreds of not so young bowlers in very close spaces. Leagues still going with the only option to not show up or forfeit.

Why not wear surgical gloves if you are so concerned? A box of 100 is less than $10 last time I checked. Keep your filthy nasties to yoursel, and keep away from everyone else’s viri and bacteria.

Wait, what? You are wearing gloves and shaking hands with people who are not? You know the virus can live on the gloves, so while keeping yourself save you are possibly infecting others. This is one of the most mind blowing posts I've seen since the virus started. For God's sakes, stop touching people.

How about just wash your hands after you pickup your newspaper. Seems logical to me.

I actually Spray the " Disposable Gloves " with " Raid " after putting them on, Lemon Scent, of course.

I should have mentioned that.

YES!!! Shopped at Aldi's this am. Lady stuck her hand in the bag of grapes. I took some from a box that was just put on the shelf and not opened. When we got home I sprayed 70% alcohol on a cloth and wiped all the packages down. Little effort on our part bringing peace of mind.

Iam here in TV. I see them in Publix, at Spanish springs. Opening doors with bare hands, shaking hands, standing in line at Subway crowding right behind you, not social distancing, I see them talking this is a false alarm and treating like a big joke. The ones who are social distancing and trying to prevent us from becoming Italy are practicing the cdc guidelines. The ones I see, the major don’t follow it

In India they use a rag/hanky and a bucket of water. You don't generally see public restrooms with toilet paper. That way, NO printer's ink on the posterior.

I give you credit for responding, however, I think your sample appears to be isolated to the oldest part of TV where it is possible some who have lived through several pandemics are looking at the those who are hoarding TP and water and going WTF?? I've been through Polio, the Asian Flu of '57, the Hong Kong Flu of '68, Swine Flu. SARS, Swine Flu again, MERS, and now Wuhan. I take it seriously but not to the extreme of panic we see nationwide today.

Sure. Go to Heaven and Hell Testimonies, Do you know what it's like there? (http://heavenhell.waynesallee.com) and click on the audio file "Jim_Wilhelm_testimony_Of_Heaven.mp3".


Wasp are one of the harder insects to kill. Because of this, wasp spray is the most toxic. So if you want a bug spray that will kill anything, wasp spray will do it. But just remember that it is also the least safe. And also another reason that wasp spray is made more toxic, is because you don't want the wasp to just get mad, and come back and sting you.

Just a point of interest Dr. so I don't make a mistake and Open The Same Doors as THEM? with bare hands. Can you tell us which door or doors they opened with their bare hands. Your advice will save many. Is it the knob on the entry door in the center? If this is the Older Publix I go there often. Thanks for the help Doc.

Good question. He claims he has a PhD., but did not respond to an inquiry as to which field. I have my doubts since his grammar, spelling and sentence structure as well as content of his posts would seem to suggest otherwise. I doubt a doctoral dissertation written in such a fashion would ever have been accepted by his university. However, having been duly chastised for being too critical of him, I politely backed off. I still think people should refrain from posting pure speculation that increases fear and panic.

I get a kick out of our Daily Sun showing pictures of group gatherings throughout TV as late as St. Pat's Day and people going on cruises in March. I can't wait to see how many people show up today at the Polo Field to be unnecessarily tested. If you think you need it, then go. If you going just because you can, then stay home. I commend the volunteers from UF nursing and PA school doing the testing. I hope they stay safe.

The ones that go because they think they are entitled will find out that pre-screening and a doctor’s order for the test are needed for testing to take place .

The Life Extension article does address several supplements use but specifies them for upper respiratory conditions. Covid-19 attacks the lower respiratory system. Patients may present with sore throat and general flu symptoms but the danger is the progression to lung damage. I would not want to raise false hope that these supplements have any preventative or therapeutic value for this virus.
