    My wife and I both had a nasty Flu around Thanksgiving. I think this virus has been around longer than they tell us too.

    Vinegar won't kill it. I use a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol in the truck. Truck stops have hand sanitizer dispensers near every exit and outside bathrooms. I grab a shot of it walking in and out.

    I seriously thought that White Vinegar was an excellent disinfectant.

    My daughter had a 3 week bug in early January, that when tested, was NOT the flu. She had all the symptoms of COVID-19 including what she said at the time was a feeling like she was drowning. The docs said she had an upper respiratory infection, gave her a Z Pack, told her to take Tylenol, and rest. The Z Pack did nothing, and, like I said, it took her 3 weeks to start feeling better.

    Could it have been? Maybe, but maybe not. No one was thinking about it being here already at that time...

    Doesn't matter how many times you wash your hands when you pack a pile of drivers into the guard shack to check in. It's also an airborne virus.

    In other news, wally world now has partitions for the guards to hide behind, but then they hand you the same plastic sleeve for the bills, which you then hand to the shipping clerk.

    No NBC training at all, these people.

    Some top physicians in the medical world have claimed that it is highly likely that about 50% of those infected with COVID-19 are going to be asymptomatic, that is, showing no symptoms whatsoever while they spread it...

    Some I've encountered has B.O that makes them immune to everything.2 here in Santa Rosa smelled like old fashioned outhouse and had employees breaking out the Lysol and air freshener.
