tag sale

[slugworth]

I saw my 1st tag sale sign of the season yesterday.
So the urge to eat has overcome the urge to distance and have strangers come to your house.
Cash only,and you have no idea where that bill could have been.
I say the virus spread too fast not to be on money.

[Nan6b]

yup, nobody disinfects money.

[EdieJ]

I use hand sanitizer immediately if I have to touch "filthy lucre" and always, always wash my hands the minute I walk in the door.

[slugworth]

Somebody said at the beginning of the episode that copper kills germs.
I have a thick copper foil that I folded in half and put the bills in that for days.
My debit card also.
I found a use for the jeans watch pocket.
So it doesn't contaminate my wallet.

Some lady tried to sell me tamales in the Home Depot parking lot this weekend.
How much?
12 dollars a dozen.
What???????

Maybe they were good tamales and maybe she was trying to make money in very difficult times using the skills she has.

Copper, powerful anti-viral, anti-bacterial surface.

I have seen copper countertops in some old houses.

If they are like the ones I normally buy they are worth 24 dollars a dozen.


I see her all the time I'll take a look and get a dozen if they are.
And give her a tip to boot like I always do.

Had to look up tag sale.

Some stores in my area require credit cards only.

I don't worry too much about disinfecting money. I just wash my hands if I handle money and it sits in my wallet long enough to self disinfect.

When libraries open again they will use the same method by letting library books sit for up to 72 hours before being touched. Clothing that is tried on in stores will also be quarantined for a period of time before being returned to the sales racks.

Great gesture on your part!

Cash only,and you have no idea where that bill could have been.
I say the virus spread too fast not to be on money.

Latest from the CDC, how it spreads. The bottom line is through person to person close contact, via droplets (aerosol)from the infected person as they speak, cough, sneeze. Not from person contact to surfaces such as money. Viruses are obligate intra(within)cellular parasites.They cannot live for more than a few seconds outside a living cell. You almost always must be able to breath it in somehow, via nose or mouth, to become infected. Your mask and those of others is EVERYTHING! Easy to read page:

Yeah it really ticked me off how people reacted to people with HIV years ago and not wanting to have anything to do with them.
Years ago I had a friend with HIV and it didn't bother me a bit to be around him and we went to the gun club with each other along with his male partner and we ate at the same table with each other.
Way off topic but I felt I had to say this.
Point is you have to know your virus.

[slugworth]

they are still waiting for that vaccine

[slugworth]

I got a zit on my face,at my age.
I forgot what it was like.

Actually, it says that it is not the MAIN way it is spread, but "It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes." It also says that they are still learning about how it is spread. It actually doesn't say any where that I read that "Viruses are obligated intra(within)cellular parasites.They cannot live for more than a few seconds outside a living cell". There are viruses that can live and be picked up from surfaces and trasferred to people by touching your mucous membranes like mouth and eyes. This is the whole reason for the focus on handwashing.

You might want to read the recommendations for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and avoiding the use of shared objects for restaurants, for example. These are very recent guidlines put out in the last week by the CDC. These recommendations are based on possible transmission of the virus from touching contaminated objects.

No, I posted that viruses are obligate intracellular parasites, because I learned that in Biology 101. You may recall, I am a Dentist, I have had lots of science courses.
And viruses are not able to live on their own, they technically aren't even alive at all. They are missing some of the organelles(little cellular organs) to have life. That's why they are obligate intracellular parasites, they don't have a mechanism to live on their own. They take over a cell and make it do their bidding. It's also one of the reasons that viruses are so much harder to fight and cure. Because killing them means killing the host's cells. If the virus is "living" and picked up from that surface, it is inside a cell the infected person shed.
Those recommendations for cleaning surfaces were not new postings, they have been there for months now.
Of course there may be an ability, as of the CDCs knowledge for now, for a person to touch eyes and get it, especially if another person has shed very fresh droplets with virus. What I meant by the mask is everything is that it is the most predominant way to get Covid-19 infection - via aerosolized droplets from an infected person, especially an asymptomatic one.
I stand by what I posted.

[worth1]

I learned about bacteria viruses how to give shots tell what disease an animal had and all manner of things taking 4 years of FFA in school.
Just the other day I was explaining bloat and how to relieve it with a 0000 needle.
I received the star greenhand award as a freshman in school.

Back on subject I never seem to have cash for a tag sale what we call yard sales.

[brownrexx]

they are still waiting for that vaccine

Phase 3 trials are starting in July with thousands or people and millions of doses are already produced but are being held until there is final approval of the vaccine.

If the vaccine is approved,it will be distributed but if it does not get approved then it will be destroyed. It's a gamble.

[Sue_CT]

OK, maybe they are only living in cells that are deposited on surfaces? I am not sure the distinction is particularly useful for preventing spread of the virus. It actually can be misleading. I am not looking up the CDC and New England Journal of Medicine articles cited on this page although I have heard of both of them before. I will follow the CDC and New England Journal of Medicine's results on this personally and everone can do as they please with the information.
