That's what you get for living in Goddamm Oakdale.
But for real, hope everything turns out ok.

Mornin’ y’all.
We desperately need rain up at the cabin. Home has been extremely wet. Funny how that happens.

I know this feeling. It is not good. Hopefully you are not under water.
Good Afternoon Lodge!

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: Choose A Number
Talked to my mom today. She told me she and my aunt are going to go food shopping next week. I'm nervous about it but that's all she said they will do - go in, shop and go home. I told her we will talk more about it - I want to see how things progress. I certainly don't want to have another meltdown like a few weeks back. They will both wear masks.
They are also both going in for a quick doctor appointment Monday morning. I'm surprised they're seeing patients. I did tell her when they get home, after they wash their hands and change their clothes, she needs to make sure that my aunt's roller walker is also wiped down. What more can I do??

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: Choose A Number
I should have been more clear. Not a literal river. But when it rains heavily, you can actually see a stream form over the grass coming down the relatively low slope. Last night was actually about three feet wide and a couple inches deep. There was ponding in my yard which I haven't seen very much ever.
No standing water anymore. I'm sure it's a swampy mess though.

I wipe everything down before I get in the car-
open car doors, put stuff in car- not in the front seat (The back seat/trunk is assumed contaminated.)
-then remove mask touching only the outside of mask and put in paper bag in back seat.
- sanitize the hands, then wipe the phone and keys with sanitizer at the same time as my hands.
- I only touch the inside of the front section of car with my clean hands. If I have sanitized the hands before getting in then the steering wheel, shifter is not contaminated.
-I don't bring my pocket book in with me= only my phone which has credit cards ID in one of those little pockets on the back. That way pocketbook is not contaminated. (sunglasses are in the front on dash- no touchy until I my hands are clean)
Not perfect but that way I try to keep everything in the front seat, inside the car as clean as possible because when you are driving you can absentmindedly touch your face.
When I get home I unload cold stuff is swiped with soapy water where you would normally grab it. Non-fridge stuff is put in a big box by door- I wait and put that away the next day.
shoes stay in the porch
After I am done I change clothes pull off by sliding down or up- not turning inside out, then I wash my hands and face.
When I teach my students I tell them to imagine nasty black ink or grease is covering everything- how do you avoid getting it on things?

that's good. We have French drains around house and along part of yard. When they failed- UGH!
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: Choose A Number
I wipe my car down when I get home, not when I get in. Plus, I'm only in my car, like, once a week so I'm thinking that anything in the car that I might have missed has died off. Also, I'm the only one ever in my car. When I get home from the store, I bring a can of disinfectant and paper towels and wipe the steering wheel, gear shaft, any buttons on the dash I've touched, door handles (inside and out), seatbelt, window buttons. When I get out, I spray the seats. When I unload my groceries in my cart, I spray the trunk.
When I get to my place, I remove my shoes, slip on my slippers I've left at the door, go wash my hands. Then I take off my clothes and put in the laundry basket I leave at the door. I put my keys, my little wristlet, sunglasses, eye glasses on a little table by the door. Then I go shower. When I get out, I unload all the groceries in the tub in my second bathroom. I pull out all the stuff that needs to go in the fridge or freezer and put on the counter that I've covered with a towel. I use a disinfectant spray on a paper towel to wipe everything. I pull veggies and fruit out of the plastic bags to soak in a bowl of warm soapy water. I empty it, refill it and put my sunglasses and eye glasses in for a soak. Then I put the dry veggies and fruit in plastic bags I've washed from a previous trip. As most of my groceries go up to my mom's, I then wipe down her non perishables and put them in a paper grocery bag that has been aside the previous week. I leave my non-perishable things in a paper bag in my second bedroom for at least three days before I put away. I them wipe down my grocery cart, I wipe the credit card and my keys and the wristlet and don't touch them for three days.
But I will remind my mom not to bring her purse with her into the store. I also will make sure she changes her clothes when she gets home. I'm just nervous about her going. I told her I want to see how things go rest of the week.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: Choose A Number
More and more research is coming out saying surface-to-surface infections are more rare than we thought. That said, until it’s definitive, do what makes you feel less anxious. We don’t wipe things down anymore if they sit for a day. We just simply wash veggies with water when we’re ready to use them.
You probably don’t need to wipe down the car if you basically let it sit for 24 hours. I haven’t done that with my car and my wife who works in the hospital doesn’t do that with hers. We still do the clothes in hamper and immediately shower routine when she gets home from the hospital.
It’s most important to wash your hands well and wear a mask, multiple layers help. Thicker fabrics like denim or flannel are best. Quilting material is good as well. There was a paper in a respected journal that indicated particle filtration was as good as 90% (!!!) with homemade masks made well and properly fitted. I posted an article in the Covfefe thread (amazingly, that word now autocorrects even though I don’t know if I’ve ever typed it lol) that did the original research. Good stuff.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: Choose A Number
I only wipe down the milk and yogurt containers. Probably paranoia. I just know we keep viral samples in the fridge so I figure it doesn't hurt.
I figure if I wipe up before i get in the car it saves a lot of worrying.
I was saying to mr les that I feel like my worlds have collided. I spend a lot of time with my students talking about clean technique, infection control, being uber careful at work (the students watch me like a hawk to see if I do the right thing). I am not a germophobe outside of work usually but inside I am a stickler.
I really wish I didn't have the knowledge I have. It is hard to have done the demos with people showing them how easily things can spread and not be aware of how easy it is for this. It is fatiguing to be 'on' without a break for a long time. I watch people rationalize why they should be able to do [x] safely. I know they are rolling the dice with risk and it could kill but a part of me is envious. Even if they are way wrong, catch it or pass it to someone that ends in a bad outcome, they get the mental break of believing they are safe to do what they want.

Yes, but it has been going down. Total for this year to date is $172,018,008.31.
