“Given enough time, everyone could get used to anything.”
I think I’ll avoid saying that to my wife, Songbird. Tomorrow she has her 18th MRI scan of the head and she abhors them. It’s stress factor 10 in the house right now.
I like the one I made in 3 minutes, but really I suppose, the best is the shield , as long as it’s sealed at the top, not the cheap rubbishy ones sold on Facebook. One cough and it’s goes straight over the top and in. There are YouTube tutorial to make your own. Remember, it can enter through the eyes.

My state gov't just released a document on the return to school. They are allowing students with direct 15 minute + exposure to a positive case to attend school during the 14 day quarantine (unless showing symptoms) as it's an 'essential'. No after school sports or social life during that time, but fine to come to school. They must stay home if it's someone in their household, but otherwise they should be in school. Jolly, we'll see how all this goes.
Oooh, Lyn, yes people musn't "fiddle with themselves while shopping"!!! and stop licking those trollies. I cant wash my hands to a proper "nursey" level it 20 seconds, its doesnt say minimum 20 seconds.(yup, an armchair expert here)A lot of articles say you must wash masks at 60c minumum, Ellie cannon (GP, etc) says warm water is fine soap, to break mantle. My home made ones, and the black one I bought can't be washed at high temps. Shame I dont remember where I bought one lot, would warn you £19.99, plus P & P for 3 and they are useless!!
My best wishes to wife Ben, Last March it was thought I might have a tumour in my ear, begnign, but near brain stem, was told MRI, I am extremely claustrophobic, I havent even been able to watch one, don't go in lifts, you name it.(I won't even get on a plane, they are far too small!!) Asked for sedation, told that wasnt possible. `Compromised on a CT with contrast, thankfully all clear.
I have often read that the virus can enter through your eyes, but can it enter through your ears as well?
I think so, as we weren’t allowed to share stethoscopes during the pandemic. It must be a rare route of transmission though, because it is much more difficult for the virus to get in that way - the anatomy is somewhat protective plus there isn’t a mucous membrane externally for droplets to land on or to easily touch like eyes.
'...if reusable, wash it in line with manufacturer’s instructions at the highest temperature appropriate for the fabric...'
...which is a bit of a pointless thing to say - as the temperature can't then be relevant if you can wash one thing at 30 and another at 60.
'Which' then had this article - https://www.which.co.uk/news/2020/03/coronavirus-how-to-wash-clothes-and-kill-germs/ - which is old and from the early stage of the virus, but after saying 'wash as per manufacturer's instructions ...' also goes onto talk about washing more 'germ' infected (and then in my mind hence mask) items at 60 degrees.That at least made more 'logical' sense - as they seem to imply that 60 degrees has an impact.
