A case study in knock on effects:

Usually I use hardly any TP, about one roll every other month, because I do all my pooping at restaurants. Thus I felt I was sitting pretty with my 4 roll stockpile. Now the restaurants are closed.

LOL. Legends.

I would definitely say World War Z is a great read for those looking for something to do. It’ll make the pandemic into entertainment. Stay away from the movie though wtf.

And there’s a ton of stuff in the book that has real-world insight. China banned the book because of how he trashed their response procedures to a possible epidemic and whoops, here we are.

Ok mask theory might be busted. This is from a doctor acquaintance that I respect a lot. The first part I know, but asymptomatic spread occurring by touch not respiratory droplet I did not. Maybe everyone should wear gloves or something.

Hope he’s right. But seeing those videos of healthcare providers in China and Korea practically wearing space suits makes me doubt this a little bit.

This isn’t about protecting yourself (as a citizen or doctor) it’s about how to protect everyone else from you (as an unknowing shedder). Whole different problem.

That doesn’t explain the space suits, does it?

The space suits are to protect themselves from touching, breathing, droplets, any form of something coming in. They’re around massive doses of the virus and the virus only has to win once.

For protecting others from you - any % you can knock down your own contagiousness makes a difference in overall spread. Don’t have to be perfect or even great. Anything helps.
