Soap and water are very effective killers of Corona I understand. That's not to dissuade anyone from their own preferences. I happen to like h202, borax and vinegar myself to clean anything that comes in anyway.

Good luck. :)

Yesterday, a CDC video on Fox News demonstrated the correct way to wash your hands. At least 20 seconds scrubbing all over, around, and through between the fingers with lots of soap and water (and don't forget under the fingernails).

I think that handshakes are going to be Taboo for the foreseeable future. The elbow bump may come back into style for those who feel the need to touch. :)

This is what America has come to...videos on how to wash your hands?

"When we come back, watch the newest CDC video on how to properly wipe your behind with all that toilet paper you've been hoarding. Comin' up, right after this break."

I have a couple of orders sitting in China waiting on release. It's too late to cancel. There's a third that's supposed to be filled from the USA warehouse of a China company. All will be allowed to sit in the garage for a few days and will get sanitized before opening and again after. :)

One contains four top fill kits for kayfun 2019 attys and the other contains two vaporesso Revenger Mini 85W Kits. The top fill kits can go into a dish soap solution in a bowl and the mod can get an exterior wash. I might add a little alcohol wipe down for a virus over-kill factor.

Times are changing fast. Got an order from California; bagged the package at the mailbox and put away in the closet for three weeks.

Were you wearing disposable gloves when you moved the package from the mailbox to the bagging? Did you wipe down the inside of your mailbox with something like a Clorox cleaning wipe after taking it out? Did you quarantine the rest of the mail in with the package as well? Are you holding the rest of your mail in quarantine for 3 weeks as it may have come into contact with packages and letters from, well, everywhere?

Thank you! I needed that! They shut down the nursing home where Maw maw is at from any visitor. So we are having a rough time.

Closing the nursing home to all visitors is the smartest thing they can do. The absolutely most vulnerable population is there and the more folks tracking through the risks keep going up. Hopefully they medically clear every employer entering before their shift starts with questions on they feel and a temperature check. It’s far from perfect but it’s at least something. I hope and the rest of he residents get through untouched and well.

Best post ever!

I'm working from home for the duration now. It's not official company policy yet, but my boss was approving WAH for anyone who asked.

I wish i had that option,because i definitely would,but the machines and equipment i work with won't fit in my house haha.So far there at least 3 confirmed cases in my county,and at least 1 of those is in a hospital about 15 minutes from where i work,so yeah if i had that option i would be all over it.

What is wrong with using Lysol? Last package from FT about the time the virus was mainstream in China. Sprayed mine and let it sit in sun for 10 days. I feel fine and live in WV who is one state that has zero infected people. Or at least so far.

I just ordered from Fasttech....got an EHPRO 101 Mod, some 1.8 Ohm Coils to attempt to build with and some Packs of Nautilus Coils...
As long as nobody spits on my Items or Package everything is Jake


Chinese Folks are angry.
They are angry at their Government and it appears that they are angry with each other.

I don't worry too much about packages, but I am a bit concerned about working at the wastewater plant. :danger:
Oh, yes, because the Virus sheds in Feces.
Has anyone mentioned you all working in HAZMAT Suits?
Has your Employer mentioned any Plan of Action should this thing get out of hand?
