Sweet Christmas, don’t fuck around with putting ethyl alcohol on your food unless it’s intended for human consumption.

You can just drink the alcohol or bleach after the strawberries and it will just kill whatever was on them.

Again I haven’t looked that hard but I think your calc is the net across all the people equally as far as individual risk. Everyone is equally infective and the bad air space is spread throughout the volume?
Basically there is 1 pool ball that’s the contagious one. Any other ball has a 1/14 chance of being the one that hits the contagious ball on any ball to ball contact. The cue ball is in contact with all the balls all the time (ignore the objective of the game). The cue ball is the employee. The shoppers are the random 15 other balls.
There needs to be a factor that the more people you interact at with based on infective rate in your county of interest as well.
But I really like the general risk ranking it comes up with for the everyday person doing activities.
Sorry I’ve missed a lot in the CV threads lately, it looks like you’re doing this analysis yourself? Can you add an entry for exposure in a hospital environment? Thanks.
Completely agree. It’s summer. As much business should be conducted outside as possible. I’d get my haircut outside. If I was the hair cutter I’d want an N95 (with cloth covered vent).
That level of incompetence cannot be attributed simply to incompetence. Even when we’ve done temperature checks, they’ve been designed as poorly as possible - to group people together BEFORE being screened in big crowds in enclosed spaces.
Like, if you were trying to get to herd immunity and wanted to import as much of the virus as possible and spread it all around the country, while having plausible deniability and appearing to be trying to prevent… You couldn’t do much better than that.
I’m waiting for her to pull that foam rubber covering off and drop the guillotine.
You know, I just realized that if it ever came to guillotines, like 30% of the country would walk right up to them and poke their head in there like, “Hmm, whats this? Don’t tell me not to put my head in there, I’ll put my head wherever I…” head rolls.

Yeah. In particular, denatured alcohol would not be good.
For berries I’ve been waiting a few days. And since they are already in a packaging I assume it’s already been a few days since direct human contact. (Although since they are kept cold, maybe the virus can remain viable longer? You can drive yourself crazy with this stuff.) Then we just rinse with water like in the pre pandemic days.

I guess I’ll just accept that I don’t understand your point then and move on.
I think you know that’s not what I’m saying.
Yup, I’m feeling pressure to relax my quarantine procedures, and it scares the shit out of me - not because of what I’ll do, but because if my Chicken Little ass is feeling this way, I can only imagine what the 99% of people who were being less careful than me are going to do.

If you’re going to do this probably better to use Everclear rather than rubbing alcohol.
If you get drunk after eating a bowl of strawberries, then they’re probably absorbing too much.
How much of our current situation is due to politicians not listening to medical experts?
Donald Trump is dumb compared to other presidents. He’s actually not that dumb compared to other Americans. He’s not a genius, but he’s not atypically stupid. We’ve got too many Trump-level intellects trying to think for themselves about coronavirus.
If you’re worried about veggies washed with bleach solutions don’t ever eat any “pre-washed” or “triple washed” lettuce, spinach, or other greens.
Also, for years I used bleach to sanitize my drinking water when hiking/climbing in the backcountry. And I did a lot of hiking and climbing. So you could say I was a trailblazer when it comes to drinking bleach for safety.
WTF the counties all around me in California have lifted their restrictions on wearing masks. In fucking CA. Lame.
No I’m pretty sure Trump is a fucking imbecile. 20 years ago it may have been different but his brain is just scrambled eggs at this point.
