Sorry I haven't been back to continue. Thanks to Bert for answering my questions (although at first I took "Oz" to mean "he isn't going to answer!") LOL.
I'll have to get back on here later and re-read the replies and reply properly.
Had bro's funeral Wednesday. Today was the first day I really felt "myself" but I haven't felt the desire to make time for this discussion.
I saw a great deal of "virus hysteria" yesterday and today, new levels of bizarre behavior and confused reasoning. I really should have majored in psychology I guess.
I have several yards to mow tomorrow, more brush to clear on Sunday, and a rather intense mowing contract to do Monday or Tuesday. I'll try to reply when I can.
Sorry about the funeral, hope everything went well or as well as a funeral can go .
Yes there is a lot of hysteria which is no surprise considering all of the mixed messages coming from both sides . And the fact that new data comes in every day which changes things which just adds to the confusion.
This of course makes people confused and then emotion kicks in and rational thought goes right out the window.
I was at a customers place who had a swimming pool .
Out the front and back was enough santizing gear to wipe out ebola from an African village, garbage bags for used wipes disposable gloves to handle the disposable gloves after you had sanitized your hands then sprayed all your cloths with dissinfectant .
I suggested as it was summer & quite warm, it might be easier just to slip your shoes off, empty their pockets then dive into the water and do a couple of laps ensuring that their heads were fully under water .
He thought this was stupid because then he would have to drain all of the water out of the pool & sanitize that as well.
Eventually the penny dropped and after consulting both his doctor & the pool company ,he upped the chlorine level in the pool and actually rang back to thank me as he had been fighting to get the kids to go through the whole decontamination bit, but jumping into the pool fully clothed they thought was fun.
Now if you really want to get into conspiracies, you might want to think about the way popular medecine divorces people from their own bodies so one has to prepetually go bother your GP, at a price.
While the virus is dangerous, it is also very easy to kill the packets outside the body, a simple swim or lay in the sunlight will do the job just fine .
It is one case when the farmers seem to be a lot better educated than the city folk.
Most farmers know the difference between the 4 common forms of infection , Viral , Bacterial , Fungal & Parrasitic so they understand what an appropriate lever of decontamination is.
City folk just don't seem to get it .
