PLEASE READ!!!! If you have bleach, vinegar, rubbing alcohol and/or hydrogen peroxide around DO NOT MIX THEM TOGETHER! READ THIS FIRST!!!!!  People are disinfecting at home & we might try to improvise.  LOOK UP anything you want to mix together before doing so. 

Bleach and vinegar makes chlorine gas, which can kill you if inhaled.

Bleach and ammonia makes chloramine, a gas that can kill you if inhaled.

Bleach and rubbing rubbing alcohol makes chloroform which can kill you if inhaled.

Hydrogen peroxide and vinegar makes something also bad and poisonous. 

A nineteen year old died last year when cleaning a floor in a fast food store with a mixture of ammonia and bleach. I remember reading about it and then forgot to mention it here until I saw this notice on my town's website. It is so easy to try to make your cleaning fluids go further by mixing them.  DO Not this without researching it first. ❤️

Greetings - someone somewhere on this board, a ceramacist, mentioned that they had two used masks so they couldn't be donated. Apparently, they can - I don't know the details but perhaps it is worth checking out. Everyone be safe.

Really???

Why are they closed?  Is there a way for people to still get food?

@lovendures My dad heard that supermarkets will close on Sunday, so he tries to stock up on food. One of the supermarkets closed due to the lack of stock. He went to another supermarket but the meats were all sold out. The supermarket that closed will reopen at 7 am. Likely the supermarkets have placed quotas.

I will comment.

The irony of this pastor, as well as Matt Gaetz's gas mask act, the NBA player who touched all the microphones and others who "Mocked" the truth of this pandemic and the consequences of their actions is that the truth of the existence of this virus isn't up for debate.

Go ahead, have an opinion, mock the pandemic, do all the things you are warned against.  If you touch the flame, you will get burned.  No amount of "pooh poohing it", mocking others, calling others chickens, sheep (or insert your favorite farm animal insult here) matters.....if you keep exposing yourself, you will get infected.  Your political affiliation, your church, your opinion don't matter.

The word of the pandemic is Hubris.  Some people learn the hard way.

This is GAME CHANGER. Abbott to market, starting next week, a fast point-of-care #coronavirus test, delivering positive results in 5min and negative results in 13min. Will deliver 50K tests/day to start. Kudos to Abbott and FDA’s Jeff Shuren and team at CDRH who are in the fight.

So I feel things at a pretty deep level and I can never explain it...I'm pretty new at this all and can never explain it...But I also know those moments that mean something (which make no sense) but hold total ground...

I'm a Navy veteran and have an affinity for our servicemembers.

I've been having visions that both the US Navy Mercy and the Comfort will become petri dishes. 

As much as I want their help and they are good, I feel like they're running into a trap and I am silent.

This pains me deeply.

@northern_lights  I just want to welcome you.  I'm not sure what you mean, but but I feel your pained concern about your service member tribe. ❤️
