Georgia will be interesting to watch. The results should be predictable, but who knows. What baffles me is people that wear gloves and no mask. They are terrified to touch anything with bare skin for fear they might get the virus on their skin. This is a lung infection, so stopping it from getting into your lungs is the goal. N95 mask does this. This virus can not infect you through a cut in your skin, so gloves is a very secondary form of protection.. The government could open up the economy if everyone had access to N95 masks. People should not be forced to wear

Yup....this has to be voluntary. Certain people think this virus is a hoax etc and I wish them all the best. Certain people know they are at risk. Underlying health conditions, age.....suppressed immune system (cancer patients etc). My Step Mom in the UK is staying home and not having physical contact with anyone. The situation in the UK is quite bad and she is 80. She gets her groceries delivered etc. I have 2 grown daughters and I told them I will see them in a year or so. I don't want to risk giving them the virus and they don't want to risk giving me the virus

People that are at risk really need to stay home and if they do go out....use an N95 mask. What we really need is a rock solid cheap and easy to do anti-body test. We need to know who has immunity and get them back to work. Everyone else should be careful and use a mask. My province of British Columbia is doing quite well. Canada, Australia and New Zealand are doing much better than the USA and there is a lesson to be learned there. Acting early is the key to dealing with this. Lock down early....reduce the numbers and then open things up. Then lock down fast whe

I do feel that since this is the 3 event from China in the past 17 years that there needs to be thought put into restricting China's ability to spread such viruses. Perhaps by restricting the ability of citizens of China to travel to other countries. There was a much, much worse flu pandemic in 1918 - 1919 and after it was over....we had the Roaring 20's and the flu pandemic quickly went into the history books. I feel we will move on from this and thankfully the loss of life will not be 50 to 100 million world wide like the pandemic 100 years ago.

Just a quick note asking that everyone remember this is ARC....try to be more civil.....we are ALL on the same team here. It saddens me when I see how this place has changed over the years.

Currently the Covid-19 numbers in the 5 main english speaking countries. https://wuflu.live/ USA 327 million 39,022 dead UK 66 million 15,506 dead Canada 38 million 1,521 dead Australia 25 million 70 dead New Zealand 5 million 12 dead Sorry guys...but the USA and UK are doing horribly.

To anyone with the Virus. It seems that sleeping on your front helps reduce the prospect of pneumonia setting in so if you have the virus, try to avoid sleeping on your back.

We need video of your lady using it so we can accurately judge how good it is. For scientific purposes you understand.

While the idiots are buying toilet paper and confirming Darwin's theory of evolution....the smart people are buying bidet toilet seats and chucking all the way to the bank.
-
The mounting hole set-up is very forgiving. The one I bought seems focused on the North American toilets. Mine doesn't fit the shape of our toilet perfectly, but it is very close and good enough for us.
-
I am not the only one to think of this idea.....these bidet toilet seats are a hot seller these days....which is why the one I bought is out of stock until June. I have seen them go for crazy high $'s...but I didn't want to spend much or get one that plays music or sprays warm water etc. Mine is a well thought out unit for a crazy reasonable price. And best part...my wife loves it for the extra feature for the lady areas.

This is a bidet toilet seat that replaces the existing toilet seat and plumbs into the supply water line for the toilet. This is the toilet seat I bought...price is CDN$115.00 As I say it installs on existing toilets. 20 minute install and the kit includes all the fittings. This one has 2 sprayers....one for the rear and a more gentle spray for the lady areas. It works surprisingly well and does leave you much cleaner and uses much less toilet paper. https://www.living.ca/p-375542-lb-tl-bsv01-bidet-seat-self-cleaning-dual-nozzles-rear-feminine-cleaning-no-wiring-re

I installed our new $80 bidet toilet seat the other day and our TP usage has dropped dramatically. It was well worth the $80.
-
I installed a bidet toilet seat today.....my wife is one happy camper now. Hope to tinker on my car or motorbike tomorrow. With the warmer weather my garage is finally usable. I've heard the lockdown might linger on for a few more months in my area. I'm enjoying the lack of traffic. Stay healthy everyone....avoid all human contact outside your household.

You know....there is a quiet truth to that. Both countries do work closely together to defend our shared continent.

That photo is priceless

But my numbers only consider the numbers of deaths as compared to the total population so testing does not enter into that. Now I would think that in 2 weeks the lack of early testing in the USA will cause the USA numbers to surge past Korea....but for now the USA seems to be doing much better than we thought when compared to S Korea. As I say.....it will be interesting to compare the numbers in 2 weeks.

You can buy N95 masks on Amazon....it blocks the virus. I hang my used N95 masks over a heater for 5 days....then reuse them I only have 5....gave the other 5 on my ten pack to daughters etc). I use the respirator type. It protects me but not the people around me. I always strip of my clothes as soon as I come through the front door....then go straight into the shower. After the shower I put on clean (virus free) indoor clothes. Outdoor clothes go into a laundry hamper inside the front door. My wife takes my phone when I get home and steralizes it with alcohol. The home must be kept as

Lets ponder Italy...712 souls succumbed in the past day of a total population of 60 million ( https://wuflu.live/ ) Lets ponder Spain...718 souls succumbed in the past day of a total population of 46 million ( https://wuflu.live/ ) If the US gets as bad as Spain you would have 5,104 people dying in 1 day....that is a death rate in the USA of 153,121 in 30 days. How long does the flu season last...more than 30 days? A 5 month flu season could see 765,606 deaths if you use the number from Spain as a guide. The number of 5,104 deaths in the US each day is what w

I do not think you can believe any of the government numbers coming out of China. There are still reports by netizens in China that people with the virus going to the hospitals but they are not being admitted or tested, simply sent home. Speculation is a second wave is coming but the second wave will be blamed on people that came home from other countries, thus infecting China with the virus from other countries. At least this will be the story fed to the average citizen in China by the CCP. Of course this makes no senses to us because all people returning to China are put in forced quaran

I do agree that testing is needed for many reasons. It would be nice to test people so we can isolate the infected people so they can not pass it on to others, thus stopping the virus. As I said, comparing the US and S Korean numbers in 2 weeks would be interesting to see if the numbers are still close together. Dr John Campbell https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF9IOB2TExg3QIBupFtBDxg was today talking about a low cost home test to see if you have already had the virus and if you have already had the virus and you are no immune, then you could go back into society and start wo

If you consider the fact the USA got Covid-19 5 days before S Korea (according to Wikipedia) then I would say the USA is on Par with South Korea. So the USA so-called horrible response doesn't seem all that bad. It will be interesting to run all these numbers again in 2 weeks.
-
In a typical flu season, I have never heard of hospitals being overrun with critical care patients needing respirators and doctors having to pick who lives or dies due to the high volume of patients needing to be put on ventilators. If you leave society open as normal and let this virus run it's course, then you will get some accurate numbers to compare this to a regular flu season. Where this story goes and what the final numbers are will depend on how well each country met this new challenge. South Korea has been praised for their amazing response....as compared to the US. Let

The idea of having a boat and going out for a long sail up and down the coast of my country without going into any port anywhere and eating fresh seafood each day is quite appealing right now. I do quite enjoy staying home and sleeping in with no alarm clocks to disturb us. I do wonder if the cruise ship industry will ever recover from this?
