Just scrolled through multiple pages of this thread looking for a particular meme -- this is an amazing sociological record of the past four months!

Where do you think Wesley shops for "terribly comfortable" masks? Asking for a friend.

There was a semi-local report here about seeds from Malaysia. Same advice about what to do with them. Are the areas receiving them mainly agricultural areas? (Our area is).

The Intercom: "We care about the health and safety of all our customers. We'd like to remind you that masks are required in this store. Please maintain 6 feet of space for social distancing. And thank you for shopping with us today."
Me:
Note: I don't have a problem with masks, but the reminders!

Grape-nuts with hot milk poured over. The iron is helpful to me.

We ordered 5-gallon pails and gamma seal lids from Azure Standard. The lids snap on, but then the middle unscrews for access; handy and secure.
I've heard that buckets can be purchased cheaply from grocery store bakeries.

Thanks for the multimeter use ideas! Not sure any of us will end up in the garage 😀, but the other uses you mentioned do sound handy.

Hi all!
We found some helpful videos for studying DC circuits and completing the DC circuits lab in Novare Introductory Physics.

Thank you for the suggestions, everyone! And for the personal stories of experience and of action. 🧡

I would love to hear positive, practical suggestions for non-POC who would like to move from just feeling bad about racism to doing something for a better society for POC. Let's leave out marches/protests and social media posting. What can we do?

An 82% false negative rate?? Whoa, are you sure about that? Cite, please?
Sorry, no citation. This was info from SIL. She works at a hospital in Seattle. Looking back at her message, that percentage was for WA state, not just Seattle. Not sure where her info came from.
OP - Sorry to sidetrack this thread! My original point was that one medical professional thinks that an anti-malarial reduced her symptoms. ☺

OK, that is a LOT of assumptions. People are not great at self-diagnosing this one. She should get an antibody test before assuming she's had it.
Very true. Her covid test (not administered correctly) came back negative - Seattle had an 82% false negative test rate. Hopefully the antibody tests will be better!

I'm not usually this mean. Honest, I'm not. This made me laugh.
She looks terrible! Glad to find out this is a fake picture!

FWIW - My SIL (experienced nurse) thinks that she was infected in Jan or Feb., that her symptoms were suppressed during a trip to Africa while she was taking an anti-malarial (HCQ?), and that her infection reactivated after her return when she stopped the meds. She had a mild case (presumptive) and is fine now.

Maybe a friend or relative of a friend? Our DD got a penpal that way. Also, if you go to a church that supports missionaries, the missionary kids may be interested.
[My 92-yr-old grandma has been writing to her penpal since the fifth grade!]

I have a rack similar to the IKEA one linked above. Ours came from an Asian grocery store 15+ years ago. It is very compact and useful.
