If the masks can't stop the little aerosol particles, how can pants?

You have to wear them on your head. More material than ordinary masks. Science.

Overnight we had delivery of 4 cases of Carex Hand Gel, that's 60 small bottles.

The shop opened at 7.00am, all the bottles were sold by 8.00am!

We are also short of bread flour and out of stock of yeast, which we never run out of, so I think people are planning on making their own bread to have their stockpiled baked beans on!

Fuck knows what will happen if there is a confirmed case in the town!

Just to be clear . . . is this a second stock pile of food because of the Corona virus or is this an addition to the stock pile of food for Brexit

The place where I am currently working has sent round an email advising us not to go to Iran, China or Italy and to make sure we wash our hands when we go to the khazi. They're monitoring the situation which I suspect meand that someone in HR gets to Google it each morning.
I feel safer already

what we all require is a rubber band bangle with instructions on hand washing and an emergency number to ring if we feel squiffy

Brazil investigates church's 'immunisation' gathering
Authorities in Brazil have opened an investigation into an evangelical church - known as the Global Cathedral of the Holy Spirit - in the city of Porto Alegre.
The church had promoted one of its gatherings as a way of "immunising" its followers against coronavirus, Efe news agency reports.
A reporter for Spanish newspaper El Pais tweeted about the police investigation and included a poster image for the gathering that reads: "The power of God against the coronavirus."

Oh, that story we just told you? We overstated it to make a better headline and now we’re backtracking.

You may laugh, but when gauntletted gallon-bottle-gasmask-clingfilm-baglady is bestriding some peak in her leather kilt and armoured bodice as she surveys the bleak wilderness that is a depopulated planet, it won't so funny then, will it? Hmm?

As a man with a smokers cough and a weekly need to travel hundreds of miles by train I'm using this picture as an idea for PPE.

Having worked with people with OCD and health anxiety I can see how this could be a behaviour that makes sense. I get why it seems funny, but also think it shows that some people really do 'worry' about things like this and it's very distressing. No criticism for sharing this pic intended, it makes sense why

I was just at a meeting with perhaps 50 people. A few people were coughing, only occasionally but it got me thinking. It could be very easy to get infected by this thing, especially as people can be infectious before they have any symptoms.

I've got a nasty cold/cough at the moment, last time I was in city I made a point of going outside shops into the street when I needed to cough, but often not much you can do when a coughing fit overtakes.
