1. CDC guidance on reusing the N95 mask.

   1. Good info, WyoDutch. Notice masks can be reused even w/o sterilization if the user is extraordinarily careful in doffing and donning the mask.

      FWIW to the readers, my daughter treated Ebola patients in Africa for a year. Once a young Ebola patient, bleeding from every orifice and in full fever, cough directly in my daughter’s face, covering her goggles and mask with virus-laden blood.

      That mask, the same type of mask we’re now recommending for COVID-19, and goggles – protected my daughter from contracting Ebola. It protected her then, and this protocol can theoretically protect you now if followed meticulously.

      The difference being that COVID-19 is clearly aerosolized (in addition to bodily fluids and surface contact), whereas Ebola never became airborne. These simple, disposable filter masks can do the job if worn correctly.

      1. I have profound gratitude for your daughter. What a brave young woman
         Thank you for sharing this information

   2. Consider using Ozone

2. I will be very scared if China has almost no new cases. Engineer or selectively breed a new strain, introduce it to the world in Wuhan but vaccinate MOST of your citizens. Achieve population reduction on your own countrymen and win the trade war that Trump WAS winning.

3. Breaking news today: Young people are not invincible…

   The Millennials and Gen Z have gone out and partied and exposed themselves to this virus, thinking the news reports of few young cases have been accurate…

   “It may have been that the millennial generation, our largest generation, our future generation that will carry us through for the next multiple decades, here may be a disproportional number of infections among that group,” Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said in a press conference on Wednesday, citing the reports.

   Tragic

   1. What I’m hearing is that young people may get it, never express symptoms, but transmit it to others.

      So there may not be a (visible) disproportionate number of infections among that group, but they may in fact prove to be the most effective transmission vector.

4. The country and world were lied to when the Chinese and American medical “experts” said there were few young adults getting sick. Party time!

   Wait! What? Oopsie – now they’re getting very sick:

   Moral of the story: COVID is not something to mess around with. It’s not the flu, it’s significantly worse…

5. Yup, God Forbid if they missed Spring Break on the beach!

6. Brother Geek, your last title “THIS IS TEAM SURVIVAL” is fitting for our times. I remain deeply grateful for the contributions you and all our fellow correspondents have been making.

   In that spirit, I offer this from a close, long-time prepper friend: https://www.peakprosperity.com/coronavirus-lockdown-now-it-gets-tough/

   The first 5-6 minutes is simply today’s update on numbers. Then comes the main meal.

   Carry on in blessing

   1. Once a Marine
      Thank you. I watched this and learned a lot from it. This is going to be harder on my husband than for me. I see it already, but I will be better able to help him (and me too) deal with the emotions that are presenting now and the ones to come

      Rock on

7. I am a God fearing Southern man who says that this had to be a man made virus to see how the world would react. Could you imagine the choas if the Chinese launched a bomb for an EMP now? Or even set off a dirty bomb to disrupt society a little more?

   When the Romans senators were debating what to do when the barbarians attacked, the barbarians entered the senate chamber and killed the senators. Sound familiar these days? The law makers let the communist Chinese take over our drug producing capabilities and no person even looked at the problem. India has taken our production capabilities and we can’t get medicine.

   Hank Jr. Said it right. A country boy can survive.

8. Right J Howard, but they didn’t just let the Chinese take over these things. They got bribed. Clinton Foundation, Romney & family, Kerry and family, Bushes, et al.
   Really, you give missile tech and most favored nation trading status to the CCP while they murder and enslave people?

9. I wonder if a water uv light which is about 3 feet long could be adapted to be used to kill virus in large articles and areas. Also a thought on a different take is would it be useful to spray Lysol in your cold air intake of your furnace when it is running to help kill any germs /bacteria on your furnace filter and in your duct work?

10. There are groups of quilters in my area in SW Montana who have gotten the OK to start making cotton masks to donate to the local hospitals. The local hospitals can see that they will probably run out of masks when things get really bad and have, after looking at several prototypes, approved of one type of mask that has an opening at the top to drop in a cut out of a cloth HEPA filter vacuum bag that can be disposed of after each wearing and then the mask laundered. Here is the link on YouTube for the mask they are making if anyone else in interested in doing this for yourselves or for your local hospital: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCJcE-r7kcg
    We are instructed to use tight weave cotton for the mask and the hospital has already stocked up on Hepa Filter material (vacuum cleaner bags – they rejected using the Hepa filter material used in gowns because you can’t breath through it) and will do the cut outs and reloading of the masks at the hospital. They also found that you need to use wire ties with plastic on them, not paper. That seemed to be a duh to me, but, I guess some ladies did it.
