Is there a cloth toilet paper you can wash and reuse ? I’m seriously worried I’m going to have to raid the hardware store for belt sander loops and I’ll forget to turn them inside out before using them

Someone translated an Italian doctor's account of recent events in their hospital: https://np.reddit.com/r/medicine/comments/ff8hns/testimony_of_a_surgeon_working_in_bergamo_in_the/ Original post on the doctor's Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/daniele.macchini.52 quote:«In one of the non-stop e-mails that I receive from my hospital administration on a more than daily basis, there was a paragraph on "how to be responsible on social media", with some recommendations that we all can agree on. After thinking for a long time if and what to write about what's happening here, I felt that silence was not responsible. I will therefore try to convey to lay-people, those who are more distant from our reality, what we are experiencing in Bergamo during these Covid-19 pandemic days. I understand the need not to panic, but when the message of the danger of what is happening is not out, and I still see people ignoring the recommendations and people who gather together complaining that they cannot go to the gym or play soccer tournaments, I shiver. I also understand the economic damage and I am also worried about that. After this epidemic, it will be hard to start over. yikes

friendly 2 da void posted:all the "boomer flu" ppl need to read this bit a few more times Statistically speaking it's still p unlikely that a young person will end up in that state relative to all the 70+ year olds. But you can watch exponentially more olds pass into the night with less psychological shock than to see one young and fit patient go. It's impossible to remain dispassionate and look at the raw numbers when the deceased could be you, a classmate or a child. For the olds even if they remind you of your (grand)parents, they're still expected to die at some point.

Buy and large, there's time for fear- Stalk this feed! Now lend an ear! Our sources say it's man-made, suspicious! While rumors abound that bat meat is delicious. Hark, the news! Hide your erections! A man from a podium gives cheerful directions; Slobbering speeches, entrancing the masses: "Keep slaving, keep the number up, and fatten yer asses!" Hazmat suits, sold on QVC! Do decorative swords count as PPE? Come gather around and bid on this lot: A paper-clip, some duck-tape, and one tater-tot. From voodoo economics comes essential oils- Work witchcraft, splash tinctures, rub salve on your boils: $9.99 and 33% off! Pinch your nose! Don't laugh or you'll cough! Decoctions & nostrums, cures for the brain-dead? Crazy Aunt Becky is basically a base-head. Her plague-proofing method, an absolute gas: Shove cotton balls of lavender, way up your rear end! Hinky and kinky, the measures they'll take, Whilst others insist that this news is all fake! "It's just a flu bro!" the skeptics decried, Whilst licking the surfaces, 'ere pathogens reside. In fomites and poop spores, on faces and knobs- "Oh please wash your hands, you foul fetid slobs!" Though health officials beg this pedestrian task, It's already too late, Bob's soiled his mask! His goggles are gritty, smudged to dim vision faint! With hands that had recently been scratching his taint. He reuses his gloves, because there's a shortage; Unlike his neighbors, who took out a mortgage. They fume betwixt the walls o' their bog roll castle, "This self-quarantine, what an absolute hassle!" Responsibly cautious, not like some jerks- Except for the fact that they mustn't miss work! Tom sneaks to his job, an overtime shift, Whilst Mary stays home and ploys eBay grifts. Number goes up, their profits accrue! Two weeks later, their faces turn blue. The ship has set sail, we're in for a ride! Quarantine ahoy! Is there nowhere to hide? The buffet awaits, and though deck space is short, You'll have a great view of the same ugly port! No refunds allowed, did you not hear? The contract's solid, the terms are all clear: No money back, and you're sure to be sick! It's not our fault–Corona's dummy thicc!

If you want to self-quarantine, that's fine, but calls for a government mandated quarantine are going to go over like a very moist virus-laden aerosol plume.

I almost think it should happen before it's needed because cases are everywhere here already and while it's like a handful in each area they can't be isolated and the symptons just haven't shown up yet. i can't imagine what america can do because you'll get a ton of gun nuts murdering people screaming about how the virus is fake or caused by vaccines or whatever.

Just lol at the notion of an American city actually implementing an effective quarantine. Places like Florida won't even shut down major public gatherings or their theme parks; California might at least get that done but most of the effort will probably be voluntary

A one part 5% bleach to nine parts water solution is fine for disinfecting things, alcohol and other disinfectant wipes aren't really essential. Wiping stuff down also has limited value if you're not washing your hands frequently and you're touching your face.
