OT: Coronavirus Resources - and other things to not worry about

[worm]

I had the tap disabled on my debit card. I just punch in my regularly changed PIN then wipe my hands with some sanitizer .

you have hand sanitizer?!?!!?!?!?! that is more rare than TP out here

 

[hockeylover]

. You have wipes?? I haven’t seen those in stores for more than a month.

Yep. Bought them at the end of February along with a bunch of anti bac soap. I was with a coworker who said I was being paranoid but really I should've gotten more.

I predict Nike and Lululemon will try to make masks fashionable

Brilliant idea, might happen.

Did you know that Nike Canada was the first of any country to embrace NIKE and make it jumpstart?

Available on Amazon if you dont mind waiting for them to ship from asia

I ordered these too. Just waiting.

Anyone tried to buy a thermometer recently? Those also seem non existent.

i see some on amazon that you can get in a week (april 9)

might be worth just doing that

i was at the doctor the day after edmonton's first case

people stole all the her gloves (boxes of them) in the room so she had to stop keeping them in there

Also tried buying a thermometer. None at any pharmacy I've been to.

Make your own.

Rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, glycerin, distilled/boiled water. Put it in a mini squirt bottle and you're good. Sub out the water and glycerin for aloe vera gel if you can find it out there. I haven't been able to source it here. Make sure the final product is at minimum 60% alcohol (so if you're using 70% rubbing alcohol, do the math to ensure the final product is 60% strength...91 or 99% is better for this purpose, but use whatever you can find)

high but still likely an issue with not enough testing

Eh, they're also likely under counting their dead like Italy was

I got a decent amount of latex gloves (45 pairs left) from Shoppers around the time I started my storage food box. But I usually use a pair of old regular gloves that I put in the wash as soon as I get home.

No masks except homemade ones my gf's mom made us. Still have not worn those.

From what we know, isn’t soap better for killing this virus than hand sanitizer anyway?

I have a 500ml tub of sanitizer that I barely use because I use gloves instead.

Not that I'm aware of. 60% alcohol kills it on contact. Soap and water requires a bit of time and work.

1. 20 oz. coconut oil.
2. 10 oz. olive oil.
3. 9 oz. distilled water.
4. 4.78 oz. 100 percent pure lye.

Nah soap is better for these coronaviruses.

Now is no time for cooking tips Zeke.

This is correct. Not touching your face does wonders too.
