between here and there
Idaho, Alaska, Alabama, and WV are the last four states. That’ll probably change by morning.
Unreasonable to believe we have zero cases but lots of backwoods people here have never been to a dr or plan to start. No education or it was just the way their parents raised them. Lack of money is another reason. They never consider health to be a top priority and wont spend what little funds they do have. Sad really.

That's it, all this talk of Corona Virus has me really worried now. Gonna order more PG and VG right now.
Let’s hope the mail service doesn’t close down. o_O Our water works board said they are stopping shutdowns of services and collections so we can all wash our hands and I heard they sent the customer services folks home. o_O

I don't mean to joke about it.... I went to the grocery store for extra food this morning.

We have 6 cases here as of tonight where as yesterday we had none. Wife's flying home tomorrow, thinking about making her sleep in the garage with the turtles.
My son has been watching twitter and he’s making me laugh and laugh about it. Some tweets were saying Coach Saban was winning again since Alabama has no cases. There were more funnies but I can’t remember. It’s good to laugh in times like these.

Anyone taking Amtrak from San Antonio, prepare to be confused lol. Getting there is not clear, and then parking/dropping off is more confusing. I have never ridden Amtrak before so it was extra confusing on top of regular confusion.. plus I got 2 hours of sleep and drove 2.5 hours here. I got kinda lucky and somehow skipped ahead of line to get a primo seat.. but it's not exactly a full train. I got a seat with nobody next to me.. so I'm happy about that. Nap time
Aaaaand.. we're moving backwards. Gotta go backwards before you go forward:D

I have to think it will take longer if you go backwards, no?

    Ok, one of these threads had the recipe for hand sanitizer. Is it 30% alcohol and 70% vg? Wondering if I should order more vg, ackkk. I have plenty for mixing/vaping but if I have to make sanitizer, who knows. Plus, price increases and shortages for the stuff. In my head, I hear all the folks on ECF saying vg/pg, flavors and batteries will never be a problem to buy. Well, so far, there seems to be unforseen reasons why they are a problem to buy. I don't think anything is certain.

    If you can't find hand Sanitizer in stores, here's a pro tip.. (it at least worked for me where I was at.) Look in the airplane travel sized section at grocery stores for hand Sanitizer.
    So far, I can't still buy stuff but where I am moving with my daughter in TN, they are sold out of everything, even soap.

    Either rubbing alcohol or ethanol will work for homemade hand sanitizer. First, pour ⅔ cup (160 mL) of 99% rubbing alcohol or ethanol into a large bowl. Then, add ⅓ cup (80 mL) of pure aloe vera gel. You can use vegetable glycerine instead of aloe vera gel if you'd like.

    markfm has this recipe from the stocking thread (in his words):

    I always have the ingredients to make my own hand sanitizer.

    Take a quart of 91% isopropyl alcohol

    Pour 1/3 of it into another IA bottle

    Fill the 2/3 full 91% bottle with VG

    Shake before each use

    This results in a relatively thin, but effective, mix. Aloe Vera gel can be used instead of vg, results in a thicker mix more like "normal" hand sanitizer gel, but is a pita to mix thoroughly
