Really
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78086220


I believe the policy has become “ignore the disease for as long as possible.”
 Quoting: HarryHood



I know I posted this thousands of pages ago, but it's worth repeating. Years ago I had a National Geographic Adventure magazine subscription, and one issue was titled "Survival." It had an article that described a study of thousands of crisis situations.......airplane crashes, being lost in the woods, etc., and the number one trait the survivors had was THEY GOT OUT OF DENIAL QUICKLY.

They realized what a bad situation they were in and did not allow denial to take over. I never forgot that lesson.

It was a great article. I'll see if I can dig it up.
 Quoting: Serenity Now


Yes, survival is hugely based on mindset. A person with fewer resources who focuses on what they have will have a greater chance of survival over a person who has more resources but despairs over their situation or what they don't have.

Good news from Poland .Number of recovered today 564 .New infections today 285 .Actual number of infected minus 305 (after adding 17 deaths) .Actual number of infected 12748.For a country of 40 million people it's very good numbers.I see same trend for Poland as for Italy in case of recovered .Recoveries increasing ,actual cases dropping .If this trend continues numbers in 7 days will be 10648 Next 7 days 8548 Next 7 days 6448 Next 7 days 4348 Next 7 days 2248 Next 7 days 148.So according to this outbreak will be over in 6 weeks in Poland.There is high chance for it since number of hospitalisations is only 1933

I did some work at a massive aerospace manufacturing plant today.

Usually they work 3 shifts 7 days per week, the parking lots that are bigger than those for a NFL stadium are always full.

Pulled in there today and there was maybe 20 cars there, just a skeleton crew to keep the place from burning down.

Apparently they are all on furlough.

Edit: It might not be that. I see they have been in trouble for a while. Still, it's the oldest gun manufacturer in the US. Too bad.

Maybe because they are still manufacturing the same guns my grandfather would have purchased from them? Little to no innovation. They're like the Fisher-Price of firearms, "Baby's First Shotgun."

 Quoting: Leaver


The entire concept of sheltering in your home waiting for a mob to attack is a BAD IDEA.

The proper approach, IMHO, is to organize neighbors to defend the area.

Here in Texas, almost every family has a rifle or shotgun, so there is little risk of mobs attacking the suburbs.

I know you have a different government, judicial system, and NO SECOND AMENDMENT in the UK. Perhaps someday you can remedy the situation.

Even in the current environment, I think that a group can improvise ways to defend their area.

 Quoting: Riff-Raff


The great part about living halfway up a mountain on a shitty road out in the middle of nowhere, is that I'm the 5th house on 5 miles of road in either direction.

I doubt there would ever be an angry mob here, but if there was I'm pretty sure they would stop at a house before mine.

And even in that case... the gunfire from the first 4 houses would give me ample warning, if there was much of a mob left after that point.

The downside is, a lesser known group called "Black Bears Matter" did some looting in my garbage cans while I was working down in Massachusetts this week... they are really getting to be an emerging threat in my area.

They spraypainted "DEFOONED DA GAYME WAHRDENZ" on a wildlife offical's truck last week after a questionable bear-spray usage incident.

sos,

I still think your idea that we might need to take care of ourselves medically speaking is spot on. A good boo-boo kit should be on everyone's list right now. A good trauma kit is a good idea, too, because who knows how long it might take for an ambulance to get to someone?

I also have Nurse Amy's book, The Survival Medicine Handbook. She has tons of videos on YouTube on how to make a good first aid kit AND how to use the stuff in it.
 Quoting: Serenity Now


Yeah, you’re right! It’s been so long a time since I assembled that stuff that I’d forgotten about it. I just checked and the kit part expired in 2009.

Which new one would you recommend?
 Quoting: sos



Look on Amazon for first aid refills. Most of the kits come with 1000 bandaids and very little else. The refill kits have gauze, eye wash, trauma pads, etc. Then I'd add in some QuikClot or Celox and an Israeli bandage which you can use on yourself (see Nurse Amy video).

Obviously, nothing beats medical training (which I do not have), but if you find yourself in an emergency, having some of these items might make a huge difference.

Maybe Halo can comment since she's a very experienced ER nurse.

I like the trauma kit on the last link. Here's what I suggest having:

I prefer non-stick gauze and medical tape to bandaids. The adhesive on bandaids don't stick as well as medical tape. Also, you can cut the gauze to size or use the large on if needed.

Coban if you can find some. It's great for large bandages and sticks to itself. In a pinch you can also use it as ace bandages.

Neosporin or any antibiotic ointment for the obvious.

Aspirin, Benadryl, Ibuprofen, Pepcid, Immodium, Mylanta/Tums, Tylenol, silvadene cream, normal saline nasal spray, saline eye drops.

A good first aid book is needed if you've never splinted, debrided or generally taken care of wounds before. You can use simple things like sticks, books, spoons, etc to properly splint fractures. You just need to know where to put them.

Superglue for cuts. ONLY use AFTER you've thoroughly cleaned the cut and make sure there's nothing foreign left in it. It will become infected if you leave anything in there.

Betadine, but only use diluted. It will irritate the skin if used too strong and not washed properly.

Hydrogen Peroxide. We (medical community) don't use this anymore since studies have found it can harm healthy tissue.

I prefer ziplock bags and ice over the pop and use ice packs. Just be sure to put something between the ice pack and the skin. That being said, keep some pop and use packs in case you don't have access to ice.

Safety pins to use in case you have to make a sling.

If you don't get the trauma kit with a commercial tourniquet then you should get belts in different sizes to use for tourniquets. A large man's belt is no good for someone's arm just as a child's belt can't be used on a large man's thigh. You can use a lot of things for tourniquets, but be sure to read how to use them properly. If you don't follow the guidelines the person can lose a limb.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. If I think of anything else I'll let y'all know.

Thanks to viral mutations a new type of super spreader is born.
We do not learn from history because our studies are brief and prejudiced. In a surprising manner, 250 years emerges as the average length of national greatness. This average has not varied for 3,000years. The stages of the rise and fall of great nations seem to be:
The Age of Pioneers , The Age of Conquests ,The Age of Commerce ,The Age of Affluence ,The Age of Intellect ,The Age of Decadence.
Decadence is marked by: Defensiveness, Pessimism, Materialism,Frivolity An influx of foreigners The Welfare State A weakening of religion. Decadence is due to: Too long a period of wealth and power, Selfishness Love of money ,The loss of a sense of duty.
The life histories of great states are amazingly similar, and are due to internal factors. Their falls are diverse, because they are largely the result of external causes. - Sir John Glubb The Fate of Empires
We are at the end of the Age of Decadence heading into COLLAPSE

I like the trauma kit on the last link. Here's what I suggest having:

I prefer non-stick gauze and medical tape to bandaids. The adhesive on bandaids don't stick as well as medical tape. Also, you can cut the gauze to size or use the large on if needed.

Coban if you can find some. It's great for large bandages and sticks to itself. In a pinch you can also use it as ace bandages.

Neosporin or any antibiotic ointment for the obvious.

Aspirin, Benadryl, Ibuprofen, Pepcid, Immodium, Mylanta/Tums, Tylenol, silvadene cream, normal saline nasal spray, saline eye drops.

A good first aid book is needed if you've never splinted, debrided or generally taken care of wounds before. You can use simple things like sticks, books, spoons, etc to properly splint fractures. You just need to know where to put them.

Superglue for cuts. ONLY use AFTER you've thoroughly cleaned the cut and make sure there's nothing foreign left in it. It will become infected if you leave anything in there.

Betadine, but only use diluted. It will irritate the skin if used too strong and not washed properly.

Hydrogen Peroxide. We (medical community) don't use this anymore since studies have found it can harm healthy tissue.

I prefer ziplock bags and ice over the pop and use ice packs. Just be sure to put something between the ice pack and the skin. That being said, keep some pop and use packs in case you don't have access to ice.

Safety pins to use in case you have to make a sling.

If you don't get the trauma kit with a commercial tourniquet then you should get belts in different sizes to use for tourniquets. A large man's belt is no good for someone's arm just as a child's belt can't be used on a large man's thigh. You can use a lot of things for tourniquets, but be sure to read how to use them properly. If you don't follow the guidelines the person can lose a limb.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. If I think of anything else I'll let y'all know.

Oh man.... I wonder if they tested him. The article just says he was released because of covid19.... the overcrowding.

Welp he isn’t leaving this time.... violent fucker. Gotta be pushed over the edge... I want test results.

:)

Stay safe. Stay aware, folks.

He was Covid positive and that's why they released him. Didn't want it spreading in the jail.

On our local Facebook page his family apologized for him (but did NOT make excuses for him) and said he was on drugs and recently tested positive. They urged the victims and anyone who came into contact with him to get tested. Fucking insanity.
People suck.

Mr. Pillar....

Breathe. Right now.... just do you. There is nothing that is going to make you feel better while thinking about this.

It is not your fault. Your brain has its sights set on anxiety and sadness.

Now is not the time for big changes. Just enjoy your cigarettes. Stick to your hobby and take pleasure & give thanks for each thing.

Thank you, snack.
Thank you, coffee.
Thank you, bunny, for not eating my basil.

Etc.... you can do this.
