Maricopa county (Phoenix and outlying areas) has its second case. The first one was weeks ago and I think related to travel, and the patient has recovered. This one, I’m not sure ...
Hubby who is a big Fox news fan came in telling me last night that "oh this virus has only killed a certain amount, etc, etc."
I told him that yes and it kills those above 60 years old, those with a compromised immune system.
And reminded him that since he is 67, with COPD, he fits into those categories...………
Maybe I am stressing for no reason?
I hope so, I really hope so.
I don’t get why sanitizer is better than washing your hands in hot soapy water.
It this for occasions where you cannot get to water? I say, buy a bunch of disposable gloves and wear those, like to the grocery store.
Our grocery store has been providing sanitized throwaway cloths for their shopping carts for a while now, anyway.
Both my husband and I fall into the same two categories. I think your husband's approach is probably the healthiest. I figure fear and worry will supress my immune system.
Anyway, I don't really care about what happens to me, the only fear that chills me is for my kids and grandkids.
But I talked to one in Oregon yesterday and he calmed me down, so I think that is the right approach, be sensible, wash hands, and fear not.
In the news today I see that:
Italy banned public events (and closed movie theaters).
Israel said residents should stop shaking hands.
Saudi Arabia suspended Umra pilgrimages (to Mecca and Medina).
Starbucks decided that this year's annual meeting of shareholders will be "virtual only".
Children appear preternaturally immune, thank goodness. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...zling-n1147951
