Like park bathrooms that usually have a sink but no soap dispenser. What’s the point?
It’s better than nothing apparently. The thing that can be eliminated with no loss in efficacy is hot water.
5 masks for $45.03 including tax and shipping.
I’m only now starting to realize how much MJ was ahead of his time. Dude wore the mask, covered his eyes, had his face replaced with antimicrobial plastics, and protected his hand with a sequined glove which is second only to tax cuts in reducing disease transmission.

I made a crude projection on infections outside of China based on the infections over the past week:
3/1 7357
3/2 8860
3/3 10670
3/4 12849
3/5 15474
3/6 18636
3/7 22443
3/14 82453
3/21 302924
3/28 1112912
And now he’s dead. Coincidence? I think not.

This is where all states are not created equal. Garnishment and liens are not available tools to debt collectors in some states and their only real attack vector is the credit score. Not saying that is nothing but it is magnitudes easier to deal with then the former.
I saw a detailed demonstration of hand washing on a tv show or something like a tv show a few years ago and it really opened my eyes.
Even people giving it more than five seconds are often just washing their palms and paying short shrift to the fingers, especially in between.
Who needs a good credit score?
Confession - I’ve been a 2-3 second hand-washer forever. And am now probably a 5 second hand-washer at best. I will try to do better.
Also I’ve chewed my nails and cuticles since I was 5 years old - although thankfully in the last few years I mostly just pick at them. And I did just get a manicure in an attempt to stop that. It’s working so far.
And sometimes I even pick my nose when no one’s looking! I’m gonna guess that’s the all time worst thing. But come on man - when you get those crusty ones - nose blowing aint gonna get those out.
And still I usually only get sick when I’m super stressed out or I fly on a plane. I also got sick (that month-long cold thing - might be the croups) after Vegas last time from several late night drunk stressful poker sessions. Yeah that’ll do it.
I know I have a good immune system. But I’m convinced that at least for me I’m teeming with stuff all the time that’s just waiting for a big spike in my stress level, or me to get depressed/grief-stricken over something - and then it strikes.
It makes me wonder if this will be like that for a lot of people. They’ll just carry it around asymptomatic (but possibly not very contagious?) for what could be months. Until they get stressed out about something or something else stresses their body out.
Also something about planes. Maybe it’s just the close quarters, or the way it plays havoc with your sinuses, or the stale air. But I always come down with stuff after plane rides.

This is at least one small thing we feel we can control.

MJ hung out with small kids, who are like germ magnets.

His eyes are messed up, especially the right eye. I hope it’s something serious.

I had to do the surgeon scrub every day to see my newborn daughter when she was in NICU, but she lived so that was that.

After 1 min of unintelligible word vomit, he strings together a coherent sentence - “And with that, I think I can head out”. Incredible.

Using the cybers to order the elements of the medical. Everything’s under control, folks.

Officials from the three states announced that their testing had found new cases: a high school student from north of Seattle; an employee of an elementary school in Oregon, near Portland; and a woman in Santa Clara County, Calif., in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Sixty-five cases of the virus have been reported in the United States, but until this week, all of the cases could be explained by overseas travel or contact with someone who had been ill. The three new cases on Friday, and a case earlier in the week, in California, were the first in the United States where the cause was mysterious and unknown — a sign, experts warned, that the virus, which has killed more than 2,800 people worldwide and sickened tens of thousands of others, might now be spreading in this country.
“If we were worried yesterday, we are even more worried today,” said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. “Now we have to ask: How widely, really widely, is this virus out there?”
