CB, I would take issue with your analysis of "ONLY"  For sure it appears to be striking the elderly more than the very young, but......

Yes indeed anyone can catch it but very very few young people have died from it unless they had underlying conditions.

Bob, read the report I posted on FB today from the Seattle ICU doc. "Underlying conditions" are often COPD. Are you still smoking? If so, now would be a good time to quit.

It is all about the money and glory for him.
I swear, if that s.o.b had a health emergency in front of me I'd forget all I learned about aiding a person.

Or, as James Carville once said, "I wouldn't piss on him if his head was on fire."

Are you able to provide links of this. I can't find anything other than elderly people and those with underlying conditions.

I dont have COPD. Maybe one day but not yet.

Thanks for the link. That is certainly a contradiction to what other countries have been reporting. I wonder why?

Here is the link from yahoo.ca

Two things worth reading: "Dr. Tam added that all ages are at risk and Canadians need to take these risks seriously."

Also scroll down and read the MEDICAGO link about the vaccine that they're developing. Or go to
https://www.medicago.com/en/ and click on Newsroom. The whole site is fascinating but Newsroom is where you can read about the Coronavirus developments. I like their approach of using VLP (virus like particles) rather than the real deal to produce vaccines. They've had success with this format before.

That ..and Jared's brother had to get into position to supply them so they make money....again.

Apparently with this TP "crisis" many people are looking into bidets. There is at least one, easy to install, inexpensive one which taps into your existing toilet feed line, then some parts to lift your toilet seat about 1 inch or less. If you want warm water though, another line to tap into the junction, which may be trickier. If you want rose water scented, even more trickier. No electricty involved.

If your water is coming from a tinaco, it's tolerable in temperature right now. I sure wouldn't want to do a direct connect in Canada... the water's too cold there to even brush your teeth with comfort.

Seriously....toilet paper? When I first heard that this morning I thought it was a joke. It's actually on my shopping list, but I guess I'm literally SOL.

As a friend put it this morning, "Does anyone else feel like life is being written by a four year old right now?" Yes!

People: Not a fan.

Water temp - must be a softie Ontarionaire. In the North we used fresh snow and pinecones, the prairies use dried out corn cobs and pages from the Sears catalog.

Come on Chillin'. You're not THAT old.

If you have a hand held shower head, you can just get in the shower... hard to flush (or even dispose of) corn cobs or catalog pages in this day and age.

Drag in the garden hose......jaja.

That's doable CBob. We used a short garden hose and a truper nozzle for years in San Miguel as a shower hose... only tinaco with no pressurizer pump then. It works just fine but you'll need an adapter to go on the shower pipe. I'd loan you mine but it's going into use soon.

Soon garden hoses will all be sold out.

Actually toilet paper was introduced in 1800 (I love researching esoterica, which in this case, is a fancy word for shit). There are many plants considered toilet paper plants. The most well known is Wooly Mullein, called " cowboy toilet paper", also used by native indians. There is plant widely used in Peru which should grow here very well. Another pioneer one was blue spur flower, which was planted by outhouses. The leaves were dried and flattened for year round use.

Wife and her friend just go back from shopping trip. 2 o'clock. They had left at 8 thirty, hoping to avoid lines. She said all the stores are full of Guadalajarans, based on their city clothes dressing.

Where? Guad? Ajijic? Chapala?

Walmart, Superlake, Soriana, Paz Licores All local.

Thanks.

It's a holiday today, Chillin. Benito Juarez. Hence the Tapatios.

Well it is a holiday today. I told my maid today that they may be closing all the tianguis and restaurants. She gasped and said why???? I told her because of the virus. She seemed to know little about what is going on.

There was plenty of bottled water and toilet paper available locally this afternoon. If you've lived here more than ten minutes you'll know where they sell it besides Walmart. And I noticed some retaurants operating also.

Just more early onset panic and hysteria, as usual. I did put some gas in my tank figuring that was the next item on the typical retard hoarder list. Good luck out there.
