If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Victoria’s Secret, after temporarily suspending in-store bra fittings, is closing all their stores. Still paying their employees, however. Some of my junior college students work there. So at least they will still be pulling a paycheck while they aren’t going to classes or work.
They will cook books. They also just told masses of asymptomatic people to self quarantine for 14 days. My mom's Pedagogical University and dad's Medical Academy almost every is sent home. Mom still has to go in for some stupid admin shit. Multiple medical facilities are used to quarantine people too, and military installations are self quarantined. My dad was based in the military hospital, students were doing a rotation there, they literally kicked them out on one day's notice and shut the doors to the external world.
They will test very few and they will let people die and I am petrified for my parents and family, but totalitarian countries are better positioned to curb the spread than places where people keep holding USPSA matches and spring break parties.
Doesn't read posts longer than two paragraphs.
I have no idea if these are worth squat. Our med folks can comment. I saw this while on their site watching Sumo.

Not a med folk, but I can tell you there is a lot more to N95 and other surgical masks than simple corrugated paper towels. Would this work to screen viruses from entering your system, unlikely. Would it slow your snot bubble from spreading as far when you sneeze or cough, probably. Can it screen out large particulates, maybe. Will it hurt if you wear one. Probably not, unless you treat it as a permanent mask instead of a disposable one. You could trap moisture and whatever gets attracted to said moisture and create a truly unsanitary breathing portal. Maybe also give you a false sense of security and lead you into trouble should you not use common sense...
8k infections, 143 deaths per NYT. When did we break 100 - monday?
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
