Was exposed to TB on a bus and had to do a very long period of antibiotics as a child.

Stores usually restock once a week. ( if they have access to stock from warehouses or suppliers)

Yes, you _REALLY_ need to stay inside.

Luckily I live alone. I only have to go out once per week. I wish I didnt have to go out then

I agree with that. Maybe you can have someone help deliver things to you.

I'm on a drug treatment program, I'm on methadone. I get 6 take homes a week. I have to be the one picking it up. I tried to ask them for exception. I'm waiting for answer

oh damn

hope it works out for you

That does break your immune system down

It probably does

@Amaria its nearly impossible to get off the methadone too. I have a friend who missed clinc for the last few days and its making him so sick and miserable

@Karnivore thank you, I should be ok. I got gloves, mask, I wore today when I went up. Just going when they are empty too.

@Amaria do you have a functioning oven at home?

@Deleted User it's very hard to get off it. Takes a long time n has to be done gradually

Actually my oven just broke, lol land lord is good about fixing things ..said he needs a part. It will be fixed soon bbn

Herion withdraw is less painful than methadone . My friend is considering going the suboxine route but not sure. He is almost 💯 dependent on that methadone

Suboxone works for some ppl

Sorry to say but it's mental

@Amaria do you use the paper-type of n95 masks?

@Karnivore yes paper ones

I did old school wafers

@Deleted User yes alot of it is mental in coming off. But some is physical. The doctor in clinic can help guide ppl off.

Never, NEVER touch the outside of your mask, after you put it on. Treat the outside as if it were completely tainted, because it is. Never wear the paper-type masks for more than 6-8 hours, and don't take it off in between. If you have limited number of masks, and can't simply throw them away after using them, then you will need to bake the paper-type masks in the oven for 30 minutes at 160 degrees, in order to disinfect them. Here is a short video discussing what to do and NEVER do to disinfect your mask:

If you try to reuse these paper-type masks without first disinfecting them, then it's most likely just as bad as not using one at all. (I am not a doctor, so research this on your own)

@Karnivore , Thank you for that information

You are very welcome.

Notice when he says to never get them wet with anything, including NOT putting any alcohol on them.

Put used facemask back in the box after use and resell them.

The reason is that the fibers will move and stretch, creating much larger holes than will stop anything.

Bite down and cleanse

@Karnivore oh ok, I'm glad you told me that. Cause I seen somewhere someone was talking about spraying them with peroxide

the n95 mask is capable of filtering down to 0.3 microns

The Covid-19 has been measured at 0.1 microns.

so, the virus alone will pass through

the good thing is that the virus will mostly be adhering on the surface of spittle, when sneezed out

so, your n95 mask will catch that spittle and filter it

but until you sterilize that mask by baking it at very low temp of 160 for 30 minutes, it's still got that virus clinging to the outside of the mask

I sure hope so, cause that's best I can get right now

if you set it down on your countertop or touch it, then you have just transferred the virus to yourself

So I should have a tray ready near my oven when I come in

Using a UV-C light would also work, but I'm not sure how long it would take for the UV to destroy the virus. (Don't use UV-A or UV-B, because they will blind you, damage your skin, and destroy the item that you are trying to sterilize)
