So, tonight, my 6 year old woke up crying his heart out worried that he was going to die of coronavirus.

He wanted to know where we'd bury him, and would it be close to the house because otherwise we might forget him.

My wife lost it a while ago, and I'm trying to do that be strong for them poo poo, but I'm really struggling now. Typing this out to you goons helps, so apologies if this is all E/N poo poo or whatever.

Hard to say; protocol matters a lot. If their samples were kept wet during heating, that can help preserve the virus on its own. Whereas a mask will dry out relatively quickly and a lot of viruses really don't like that.

Looks like they were cooked with and without goo:

quote:

The cells were loaded into tubes representing two different types of environments, one “clean” and the other “dirty” with animal proteins to simulate biological contamination in real-life samples, such as an oral swab.
After the heating, the viral strains in the clean environment were thoroughly deactivated. Some strains in the dirty samples, however, survived.

This seems like it applies more to gooey lab samples than to PPE which, at least superficially, appears to be clean and dry?

He's doing fine - he had it back in March - but when he was in DC a while back, Rick Scott was the only Senator shaking hands. And guess who announced they had it two days afterwards.

It’s not like a bubble is pressurized. You’re getting exactly the same viral load on average you’d be getting if the kid were blowing without a bubble wand. If you’re that paranoid fine but don’t go outside then. The bubble kid is not a superspreader.

I never thought I'd encounter an adult who has no idea how bubbles work and yet here you are

It also had no effect on Americans returning from China, who of course did not get tested upon arrival.

Literally nobody I know has gotten their stimulus deposit yet, have any of you heard of anyone getting it? Seems a bit odd if they've supposedly been going out for several days now

Wife was notified last night that her check from the treasury is available as of tomorrow morning.
The notification disappeared and was replaced by a new notification today, that it will come anytime between tomorrow and the end of the year.

Now, as of right now I'm checking, there is no new notification and the old ones are gone.

Yes people with direct deposit are due to get them faster.
When you get your check is up to however they are dispersing them.

I don't know if they're dispersing them based on 'first filed, first dispersed', or if they're issuing them based on blocks of Social Security numbers.
