The good news is, if you could count all the cases, it would obviously make the death rate much lower than they are saying. The flu is still killing a hell of a lot more people, but I guess you guys are getting tired of hearing me say that. Waiting and watching. One issue with the virus "head count" is the common cold ,i just got rid of one and at this time if the year ,there are many with a cold , it must be muddying the overall picture Ive never had the flu ,ive had some stinking colds but not the flu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manofthecoldland Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 As we rode in the trike en-route to the mall this morn we came to the plaza and city hall. To my ears came a growing high decibel, thumping sound originating, I think from the city hall building..... They were blasting out....... "My Corona !" Yes.... it was that Mikey Bustos parody song (My Sharona) that one of the lads posted here on the thread. I smiled. I love this place ! Even the Public Service Announcements in the face of impending and escalating social stress have that Bahala Na response tacked onto the more pragmatic public health measures that are being employed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy F. Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Response to the alcohol in hand sanitizer posts: Reminder that hand washing is better than hand sanitizer. Washing is better at physically removing germs and viruses. The weak point of the vius is a fatty layer in its shell. Soap is the better way to break down that fatty layer and kill the virus. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I'm out and about, I carry in my fanny pack a small bottle of alcohol, face towel and flashlight. Soap is not usually available in public CR's. That way you can sanitize your hands on the go, especially after peeing against the wall......he, he. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy79 Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Looking on social media if the virus isn't in the provinces yet it soon will be. Thousands queuing at the bus stations and ports trying to get home. They estimate at least 1m on the move. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sorry Tommy, I should have referenced that public urination is still a common practice in PI. For example, you see a fresh mango or pineapple perfectly sliced and served on the streets of Manila. What you don't see is that street vendor just came back from the nearest wall without any respect for personal hygiene. But I think it's a wise advice to keep yourself hydrated. All that nasty stuff in your mouth can be washed down to your stomach, where the acids will take care of all that shit. So bottoms up with San Magoo, Tanduay rum or gin. However, don't drink the water. Es mo pun in da Philippines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
