Oklahoma...sigh...
Had to get out for supplies. Tiny town. One older lady wearing mask and gloves. Several people at gas station. Life as usual... We're going to cycle this shit for so long. Ignorance is overwhelming.

I don't have a UV-C light and don't even know if you can buy one. Then never seem to mention what kind of UV light they are so they're probably UV-A. I think you need short wave C to disinfect quickly.

I salvaged 12 fixtures and a pile of loose bulbs from a salon remodel. Certified sanitizer is all I can read on the fixture.

You have no acquaintances who "spray it as opposed to saying it"?
My mom's elder sister was pretty loud, but they grew up in the sandveld in another time. Their dad was born in 1902.
But yeah, we are a pretty morbid people, being loud in any form or behaviour will get a few quick frowns.

Hey, Annie. It is so awesome to have a medical professional like yourself at our service, especially at a time like this. One thing I don't understand is this viral load exposure. With other common coronaviruses, flus, etc.., I've always understood that once they are in you, no matter how much or how little, the invaders multiply exponentially in your body. Why is this SARS effectiveness dependent on the initial amount? For two weeks before I got my first symptoms, I saw no one and only went to the grocery store twice. I took all the recommended precautions, so I had to be exposed to a very small amount. That amount incubated and multiplied within me until my symptoms started, and then became much worse. Could you give me the simple explanation of role of viral load with this thing?
I don't understand much about it either. I Googled "Viral load and You for Dummies" but nada. This article kinda explains it.

Coronavirus death toll: Americans are almost certainly dying of covid-19 but being left out of the official count

The fast-spreading novel coronavirus is almost certainly killing Americans who are not included in the nation's growing death toll, according to public health experts and government officials involved in the tally.
