I just returned home from a trade show in Atlanta with 20-30k attendees. Not gonna lie, I'm praying that I wasn't exposed to this shit. Self quarantining in our house for a minimum of 5 days, just as a precaution. Think that's the smart thing to do, or overboard?
You seem like a reasonable guy.
But it's over for you now homeslice...

Are you the one with the yacht?

She's 21, works in the healthcare industry, and school from home online.
Right now she's at home quarantined because hospitals are 2x capacity.

I think she'll be alright in the end, all we can do is hope & pray, right?
But I'm concerned about my buddy as he had a stroke awhile back; body doesn't work like it used to after that.

I sent him this message as a pick-me-up





Update:

"My symptoms started Friday night and I was only tested Tuesday afternoon because of what I do for work(healthcare) and got a positive result Wednesday evening!

Sore throat, fever, cough, chest and sinus pressure, ear pressure, chills, fatigue and body/muscle aches. It doesn’t feel any different than a normal cold"

Mix what with?
Your 70% hand sanitizer is better than a 99% hand sanitizer.

What do you have? What do you need to get?

Ohhhh, your alcohol is already 70% And you're trying to make hand sanitizer.

Got it.

First thing you should be buying soap. There your problem is solved.

You could just mix sure your 70% with aloe vera gel

I have 70% isopropyl alcohol in liquid form. I want to make a homemade hand sanitizer gel.

mix with aloe, store-bought or from plants if you have big ones growing like I do in the windowsills
and essential oils for smell if desired

that recipe I found on OG...very reliable website

I made some for fun(tiny batch)...pretty nice actually...I added a few drops of orange oil(I think it in itself could kill lots of germs, amazing cleaning agent)

we have other sanitizers and soap but I wanted to try the recipe

They should, closing the schools is going to be counter productive.
I don't disagree...I just know them lil buggers spread shit like wildfire and gramma and grandpa often do the picking up

cat is out of the bag though...and some kids get two meals at school that they may not get at home, plus daycare etc...

tricky situation no doubt
