8:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

My brother's son died at 15 from TYPE I- no one caught it fast enough. Not to bring you down, but his mom didn't report certain observations to my brother, like excessive thirst, and then she went out of town, and left my brother to call 911- it was already too late. Hokie, yours will make it. My brother's family thought he had the flu, and the lost time is what did it.

moolingwa

12:32 pm

hokie carla

same, and 2 off the top ;)

12:33 pm

BzznBea

Those A's were miserable today!

12:33 pm

moolingwa

completed the top a

12:33 pm

hokie carla

hey bea, yes they are annoying

12:34 pm

MollyL

Wow look, Bea is here in the afternoon

12:34 pm

BzznBea

LOL!

12:35 pm

BzznBea

I just got back from a trip to the Farmer's Market, which led me to a trip to THREE other grocery stores.

12:35 pm

MollyL

Must not be too much Bzzn today

12:35 pm

moolingwa

finished the first column

12:36 pm

hokie carla

that is my closest col to being finished, but still need 2 S and 5 T

12:36 pm

BzznBea

I was going to sit down to look for a recipe for a soup. Babble was open...You know the rest of the story.

12:36 pm

MollyL

There is no way I would go to FOUR places that I had to wear a mask

12:36 pm

moolingwa

instant pot...makes soup easy

12:36 pm

BzznBea

I'm used to it. And I was wearing my mask while in the car.

12:37 pm

moolingwa

well instant pot and an immersion blender depending on the soup

12:37 pm

hokie carla

I'm making white chicken chili in the instant pot today but slow cooker function

12:37 pm

BzznBea

I love my instant pot. I made a baked potato soup and used my immersion blender this week.

12:38 pm

moolingwa

Sounds yummy

12:38 pm

cybernan

most places here require that you wear a mask -- not always enforced, mind you, but certainly requested.

12:38 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I do use it for chili too :)

12:39 pm

moolingwa

well, found one of those missing 4s...and it was an easy one. 20 to go

12:39 pm

hokie carla

every place here (at my house, not in SC) is supposed to require it

12:39 pm

BzznBea

Do you have good luck with that, Carla? They say it is diferent than a crock pot slow cooker.

12:40 pm

MollyL

DWWAM...driving while wearing a mask. I will never understand it for solo drivers. I saw a guy on a motorcycle wearing a mask yesterday. What?

12:40 pm

hokie carla

75 here

12:40 pm

moolingwa

same here

12:40 pm

hokie carla

it goes a lot faster, bea. plus I have the slow cooker lid that fits it.

12:40 pm

moolingwa

there was a candle shop that tried not to do it...they decided to change that position after the city got involved

12:40 pm

BzznBea

I have the glass lid too.

12:41 pm

BzznBea

I'm making a soup with fresh ?peas and ham hock for flavor.

12:41 pm

MollyL

I like a pot of soup on the regular stove. It makes the home smell like home.

12:41 pm

hokie carla

none of the workers at my LQS (local quilt shop) wear them and they and most of the customers are older. it baffles me.

12:42 pm

MollyL

Masks are mandatory in all stores here.

12:43 pm

BzznBea

Same here, Molly.

12:43 pm

MollyL

There are a lot of people who don't believe that cloth or paper masks help prevent the spread of COVID.

12:44 pm

BzznBea

I have ir10. Stats for the other 10, please?

12:44 pm

moolingwa

well, looks I'm off to do stuff...enjoy your days all

12:44 pm

MollyL

I am one of those people, but I wear my mask, like a good little do-bee

12:45 pm

hokie carla

https://tinyurl.com/yxhzb42k

12:45 pm

BzznBea

Found the other 10.

12:45 pm

gingin

Wearing a mask whilst in public is rudimentary common sense, but apparently many folk have zero common sense. If everyone does not get on board with masking and distancing it is only going to exponentially prolong this pandemic.

12:46 pm

BzznBea

I beleive that the wearing of masks is to protect others should you be asymptomatic.

12:46 pm

hokie carla

that's my favorite chicken chili recipe, so easy. it says low 6-8 hours but I can do on instant pot slow cooker in 2 or 3.

12:46 pm

cybernan

good luck with convincing the non-believers gingin

12:46 pm

hokie carla

75 left and halftime. going to do some other things.

12:47 pm

gingin

I know nan, many of them argue that the earth is flat.

12:47 pm

cybernan

we need a campaign that will embarrass the non mask-wearers enough that they will wear them -- any ideas?

12:48 pm

gingin

The one thing this pandemic has illustrated most pointedly is the profound stupidity of many of our fellow Americans.

12:49 pm

gingin

And not just profound stupidity, but they are PROUD of their stupidity.

12:49 pm

BzznBea

I thought it was before that, gin. When we realized so many thougth the Orange Guy was god.

12:49 pm

cybernan

amerians are not alone in this -- I still see people in the grocery store that don't wear them. And even more puzzling is that the wives will be masked, but not their husbands.

12:50 pm

gingin

I hold out very little hope for the long-term continuation of the human race.

12:51 pm

cybernan

not unless we find a new planet to destroy

12:52 pm

gingin

we do not seem able to push past our current primitive level of tech

12:53 pm

clg47

At least in the USA. If they survive in will be in NZ, Thighland and the other countries that have a lower rate of infection than the house the orange man lives in.

12:53 pm

MollyL

A large percentage of people are going around in paper masks that cost $10.95 at Amazon. If you believe that will contain germs, you should read up on infectious disease.

12:54 pm

rururocks

I need to move to Thighland

12:54 pm

BzznBea

LOL!

12:54 pm

BzznBea

Happy belated birthday, ru.

12:55 pm

MollyL

You would be happy there, Ru.

12:55 pm

gingin

we need a national response to this pandemic that does not revolve around the ego of our impeached fat orange hog-in-chief

12:55 pm

clg47

We understand that it can also attack the bodies through the eyes. My husbands doc said to wear a baseball cap so you can look down if non mask approach you.

12:56 pm

gingin

I tend to wear glasses or sunglasses along with mask, whilst inside with others.

12:56 pm

MollyL

How in the world would looking down while wearing a baseball cap prevent contracting the virus?

12:57 pm

gingin

physics

12:57 pm

cybernan

with a visored hat, I would think that would prevent most droplets from reaching your eyes

12:58 pm

Wendrie

the viral particles will be floating in the air along whatever currents are there. A mask changes the currents, and prevents you touching your face and transmitting viral particles from your hands/clothes. I'm not sure a hat will give much protection.

12:58 pm

MollyL

I find it amazing what people believe and don't believe about this virus and how it can be contracted.

12:59 pm

gingin

there are several possible transmission vectors. educate yourself to protect yourself.

1:01 pm

Wendrie

the viral particles have been found in other bodily fluids, but primarily in respiratory droplets, or contact with respiratory droplets that have landed on appropriate surfaces where they can survive.

1:03 pm

clg47

I'm can speculate that you can get it from french kissing so I have stopped kissing strangers not wearing masks. I read they did contact tracing in NZ and found the virus on a garbage can lid and an elevator button.

1:03 pm

rururocks

Luckily I haven't french kissed any strangers lately either

1:04 pm

Wendrie

yes, if you swap bodily fluids then you could be swapping viral particles - which is how all viruses move (think HIV and the common cold). Ditto for communal surfaces, but the number of particulates is usually quite low.

1:04 pm

gingin

viral particulate do not remain aerosolized for long, as they are heavier than air and fall rapidly to the ground. This is why barriers are in place to prevent transmission of droplets to cashiers, etc. Face coverings are effective in preventing transmission. The virus particulate can remain active on some surfaces for short periods of time. Therefore, sanitizing surfaces and hands is necessary.

1:05 pm

Wendrie

Yes - agreeing gingin, what I was querying was the usefulness of hats in preventing transmission.

1:07 pm

cybernan

I don't think any of the measures under discussion prevent transmission -- merely reduce transmission to varying degrees

1:07 pm

gingin

I believe they suggest that by quickly tilting your head down, the brim of the cap would provide some protection from direct droplet transfer

1:07 pm

cybernan

2nd de 6/24 please?

1:07 pm

rururocks

not if someone sneezed

1:08 pm

rururocks

to lie nan

1:08 pm

gingin

that someone should be masked, Ru

1:08 pm

cybernan

ty - that is the 2nd time today that I missed that path for a word

1:08 pm

rururocks

like at a Trump rally gingin :D

1:09 pm

gingin

he is a menace to the health and safety of everyone in this country. he should be in prison.

1:09 pm

cybernan

there is stupidity, then there is idiocy, ru

1:10 pm

rururocks

well maybe the IRS will put him away eventually

1:10 pm

gingin

Nan, there is criminal negligence as well

1:11 pm

cybernan

exactly what he should be charged with if not manslaughter

1:11 pm

gingin

as president, he is culpable for a great deal of death, mayhem and criminal activities

1:11 pm

cybernan

I was thinking more of the people who attend the rallies, when I mentioned idiocy

1:12 pm

rururocks

coming up in Florida mark your calendars and everyone wear your baseball caps and look down

1:12 pm

gingin

Nan, if it were not for the fact they spread the virus everywhere, I would say let Darwinian law prevail

1:13 pm

clg47

Yes, they drank the kool-aid and the bleach. Wear you mask also and don't hang out with that many people at one time.

1:14 pm

cybernan

I thought the debate was cancelled unless Trump agreed to a virtual debate or tested negative

1:14 pm

cybernan

Mind you - if I were Biden I'd want a test done by a doctor I trusted.

1:15 pm

gingin

Nan, tRumpf rally, not debate

1:15 pm

cybernan

I guess all those wealthy Floridians are more worried about losing some tax free dollars than about losing their lives.

1:16 pm

gingin

the fat orange hog is now the modern equivalent of Typhoid Mary, exposing and infecting many, many people...

1:17 pm

gingin

money is their god and they are devout, if delusional

1:17 pm

cybernan

er 7 please?

1:18 pm

rururocks

1:18 pm

we need a national finger pointing week --- point your finger at everyone not wearing a mask :)

1:19 pm

gingin

good idea

1:19 pm

gingin

we could shout ''shame'' like from Game of Thrones

1:20 pm

car.eeyore

Or like in the Princess Bride!

1:20 pm
