The elderly who live in residences are in great danger of being infected. They should leave there temporarily. In Spain 25% persons have died in residences. When the health system collapses they are left to die to save other younger people.

Take care of your elders.

Health confirmed again this Tuesday that the age groups most at risk from the coronavirus in Spain are those over 70, "the same situation as in other countries." The head of the area of the Coordination Center for Health Alerts and Emergencies of the Ministry of Health, Dr. María José Sierra, has pointed out that 85% of the deceased are over 70 years old (which would mean 6,960 of the 8,189 deaths recorded by Spain by the Covid-19). 60% of the total is over 80 years old.

Sierra has specified that only 0.2% of the deceased are under the age of 30, which would imply about fifteen young people who have not overcome the disease.

I definitely turned the corner on this virus yesterday. I woke up with some symptoms, slightly labored breathing, random shooting pains in my chest, body aches, the unreal fatigue, etc.. Then, in the early afternoon, it was as if my body hit a switch. It finally figured out the correct antibodies, and everything drastically improved. Breathing issues, pain, and fatigue all disappeared over the next few hours, and I was blessed with a long surge of energy. I slept great, and awoke this morning feeling even better. I MADE IT!!! I called one of my best friends, who had a long hospital stay but is a few days ahead of me regarding recovery, and we traded some war stories. We plan on getting together next week, and hanging out a bunch. So excited to have someone to hang out with without risk, and do some working out and some bike rides far away from others. It made me think about all the other people that will make it through this thing. I'm betting groups will organize a way to socialize with each other, while being careful not to expose those still at risk. Kind of like those infected with AIDS dating each other. I feel like a human being again, a few more days and I feel I'll be at 100%. Time to get back to all the at home projects I was planning before contracting this awful bug. I hope none of you needs to go through this trial, but if you do, I hope it happens when the curve flattens out and you have easy access to adequate healthcare...

Stay safe stay clean. I am OCD with alcohol soaked cloth in public. We take turns daily washing common surfaces with bleach dilution. Contemplating industrial respirator, possibly full face, for public exposure. No associated contact points. Deaths with in 5 miles. BE AWARE OF YOUR HANDS.

Do not wear an alcohol soaked cloth. As the alcohol evaporates you are left with water to wick the virus through your cloth mask. If you have a replaceable canister respirator full face wear it. If you only have the respirator wear it and safety goggles. When I go out I wear my sunglasses in addition to either my fabric mask or respirator now. Then again I'm in LA County and a lot of people are coughing.

When I come in the house I go through my garage and drop my fabric mask if I'm wearing it and my gloves (I wear my light cloth gloves out) directly in the washing machine and start the cycle (after I have washed my hands). I then disinfect my respirator, keys, cellphone and any product I can't leave staged in my garage for 72 hours. I leave them on the clean side of the table and go into my house and do handwashing for a minute before going back to pick up the items I had disinfected or anything else I disinfected and staged to come into the house.

I have a second refrigerator running in my garage where I quarantine items for a minimum of 72 hours if I don't need to immediately disinfect and transfer into the house. I also leave anything else in my garage that I don't need to waste disinfectant on until needed but a minimum of 72 hours.

That sucks.

There's so much misinformation about all this shit. Should you wear a mask or not wear a mask. One report says yes, the next says it can trap a virus in the fabric. One says masks only keep the infected from spreading it, another says otherwise.

One report says there's a high % of asymptomatic carriers, the next says everybody gets pretty sick.

Stay back 6 feet, but it can travel 27 from a sneeze. Maybe. One guy gets sick, another lands in the hospital in ICU.

And if you wind up on a ventilator, you're as bad off as it gets with a 50% chance of checking out.

My mom signed papers to never put her on a ventilator 10 years before she died. She was an RN and said once you're old and on life support, you aren't going to make it anyway.

Fucking microbes.

Tangie wear a fabric mask and if you have one a replaceable canister respirator. Also wear eye protection if you have it. If you wear a fabric mask put it directly in the washer when you return and do not touch the front face area, handle it by the strings when you drop it in. If you have a respirator place it on the dirty side of a table you have set up for disinfection. Then disinfect it and set it on the clean side of the table. Same with safety glasses, disinfect them move to clean side after disinfection leave them on the clean side of the table until they are needed again. Wash your hands for a good minute, think of your hands and fingers having four sides and wash all four surfaces.

Staying back 6 feet will reduce aerosol you are exposed to but you need a full 30 feet to get rid of large droplets from coughing and sneezing. It's time to wear what I suggested.

How sick you get is dependent upon the viral load you are exposed to and your own health status. It will take a lot of virus to make young healthy people die. It will take a lot less to make elderly with an up regulated ACE2 system sick to death. Most common ACE2 up regulation is diabetes, heart disorders, hypertension and kidney disease.

Most patients who require aggressive PEEP (postive end expiratory pressure) will die or have life long pulmonary consequences from its use.

I wish you well. Most of us will make it through this, even if we get it.

Good advice. That is what we should be hearing during news briefings instead of the political infighting and finger pointing.

I can't foresee anyone inhaling iso. I'd get a kick out of watching them though. Glad people are looking out for eachother. I'll keep disinfecting the innards with vodka.

Actually we'd lightly mist alcohol to reduce lung frothing. We didn't use Iso LOL. Vodka is not an effective disinfectant you need 70% but it's a great relaxant :) taken internally, especially with spicy tomato juice.
