    For respiratory bugs, best if used in a netti pot.

    On a serious note, I do add a drop or two of bleach to the netti pot when I have an actual sinus infection.

    2 oz. Fingertip Pump Sprayer.
    Spray and go all the usual surfaces, or spray, wait, and wipe surfaces you intend to touch.

    If you get 'slimed' you'll have plenty of alky left over to help treat the bug....or at least help you to forget your miseries until the bug passes.... :D

    Methanol has long been used by thoroughly evil and unscrupulous sellers to cut ethanol (therefore, increasing their profit). Its why you should stay away from any homemade moonshine/rot gut or any hard liquor from an open bottle from a source you don't know.

    WHO has declared pandemic. S Korea new daily cases are slowing but Italy not yet.

    Whatever source folks settle on here for US reporting, please continue that. WHO sitrep 51 has a large case jump from previous day (+224) but total is 696. Other sources say higher. I still wonder if the discrepancy is only from cruise-ship counting?

    Hoping it's not too political to say that US and quite a few European countries ought to be increasing (isolatable) hospital beds on a large scale. Temporary setups would be fine but large scale.

    A hotel collapsed that had been repurposed as a COVID can.

    Probably a poor choice of words, but feeling a bit bold and disinhibited this morn.

    I've been trying to find a county-by-county map of COVID-19 cases in the U.S., but the closest is this map from the NYT:
    U.S. Coronavirus Cases Surpass 1,000: Full Map - The New York Times

    Its frustratingly difficult to make decisions when we lack actionable tracking data.

    WHO's on last #675. I don't know that other national or international agencies can call a thing thus. There are many national agencies that can upgrade their levels of concern or response. Not all of those buttons have been pushed yet.
