Coss Posted March 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I thought that virii (plural virus) could not survive long on stainless steel, glass, et al Turns out, yer average virus (human specific) can survive on hard surfaces such as plastic and stainless steel for up to 72 hours and on cardboard for up to 24 hours. Sounds counterintuitive, what's cardboard's magic power? Mis-reporting? Prolly survive for weeks and weeks and weeks inside the millennial. In my day, the Scotch and Nicotine gave short thrift to any virii and bacteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Life could be depressing for a while with the Coronavirus. In a corner of my basement, I had stashed some whole grain wheat (cases packed in Nitrogen) to be used during pandemic, zombie apocalypse, nuclear war, etc. The problem is that the stuff has been there ~ 40 years, since the Carter administration. But I opened up a can and, to my surprise, it is still good after all that time! Hopefully, this pandemic is short lived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Still only one death inThailand, and the poor guy had already been hit with dengue fever. (Second time I had dengue, you could have knocked me over with a feather.) Is it the heat or something that keeps it from being as lethal here? Italy is being clobbered by it. Meanwhile ...

baa99 Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 I wonder if there is a recent spike in pneumonia deaths. The patients were never tested for CV so just placed in the pneumonia statistics. Is the BTS as full as ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of passengers was maybe less than usual, but not very much. I saw only two Thais without a mask, both young guys who acted as if they were immune to everything.

khunsanuk Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hi, I road the subway during rush hour until Wednesday. Noticed it being marginally more quiet in the morning, but considerably more quiet in the evening. And almost nobody using the ticket machines. Most of the tourists are gone, leaving just residents / regular travelers. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 It looks like China already has this virus under control. Yesterday they reported no new cases, just 3-4 months since this started. They lost a lot more people to the seasonal flu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
