Dr. Fauci changes his recommendations based on current knowledge, which is a good thing. New virus, evolving knowledge. https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2020.00818 https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/06/21/880832213/yes-wearing-masks-helps-heres-why...

I'm glad you are able to laugh about it after you get home. I know it's never funny when you are at work and stressed out. Stay safe, dodge the idiots (they DON'T know who they are), and be well.

Hope, I hope you are doing well. Sorry that this situation has been so difficult for you personally.

Oh, Deanna, thank you for sharing this. It makes me cry, but I am so glad to hear from someone so articulate that is on the front lines. If this doesn't move people to unite against this disease and do what we must, then nothing will. Oh, and I should have said I was truly happy to hear that...

I would ask which doctor you think is a nincompoop and on what you base that decision. I haven't seen any true experts on the news with whom I would argue. I think it is arrogant of any of us to think we are smarter than people who have spent their lives studying an issue. Masks are useless...

I am not assuming the worst of others. I am assuming that they are ignorant of the facts. People need to be careful who they listen to about what to do. There are authorities on these matters, and they are not always on the channel or Facebook page you are on. (Speaking about the "royal you"...

I certainly have sympathy for an inability or perceived inability to wear a mask. I know that's real for some people. Wear a face shield! You can make them from plastic report covers if you don't want to spend a lot of money on them. I am an advanced practice nurse, I keep up with the...

I found a smaller quantity on sale on Etsy. I certainly could not use a huge amount of this, and it can be very expensive. (Which I find hilarious since you can get it for free if you work in a hospital. Most of the sterile trays come wrapped in it.) So, I would suggest anyone interested...

YAY!!!!

@Susie I am thinking of you and hoping you have a mild pneumonia that clears soon. Take really good care of yourself, drink plenty of liquids, rest, eat well, and be positive. Lots of folks are pulling for you.

Yep, southern states are just not at their peak yet. The Health Dept. here in TN is estimating that the true peak of this first wave will not happen until September, maybe late August. We are, unfortunately, just getting started.

I, too, would like to go back to the gym, but I think the exposure there is very dangerous. Lots of heavy breathing, sweating, and shared equipment. I would find it particularly difficult not to touch my face in that environment. I am not going back to the gym for a long time. Agree! Masks...

Thanks for the info. I have been following the news, and I saw that Florida is in trouble. I hope people begin to realize that social distancing and masks are really your only defense if you are out and about. I live in TN, and people here are not properly social distancing and wearing masks...

I have this unit as well. I have had it for a couple of years, and I have never had a problem with it. I use a lot of distilled water, and I got very tired of carrying all those gallons home from the store. I use it for soap as well as medical respiratory equipment for my husband. The only...

Thanks, Deanna, I have been looking for this!

I am not going to address the issues about numbers of cases of Covid 19 vs. the flu. That data can be easily found and has been reported in the news frequently. Right now, we are in such a crisis that the data is very fluid. However, I am a little peeved about people making insinuations that...

I don't think it is magical, just curious about it and wondering if it was something that any of you had experienced. and what you knew about the ingredients. I am always picking products up and trying to figure out what they are and how they are made. A good dermatologist will tell you that...

Yes, that's what I thought. The benzyl benzoate is an insecticide, but I am wondering if this is intended for dermodex mites. If you are wondering why I am interested in this ingredient, I have had a moderately bad case of perioral dermatitis that is sometimes related to dermodex mites, among...

I saw an article yesterday about Marilyn Monroe's customized skin care regimen from Erno Lazlo. Just as a curiosity, I read it, and it appeared to include soap. They still make this soap, so I have copied the ingredient list and would like your input. It does not include lye as an ingredient...

I agree. Just the right blend of light, optimistic and engaging. I forgot about her.
