30% Aloe Vera gel & 70% metho or isopropal alcohol. Toss in a few drops of tea tree oil, and a drop of lavender oil per 100ml (optional).

Otherwise, just get normal hand soap and blend it 3:7 with metho.

*Correction, if you're going to blend normal hand soap with alcohol, then utilise 100% isopropyl alcohol, as the 4-5% water content in metho will activate the foaming properties of the hand soap as you (slowly) blend it.

Caustic soda would also work. (just kidding, don't do that)

Kidding, I can’t stand Burbon.

One piece of advice given on the podcast GarnerSmash shared was that everyone who can adequately work from home should be.

As much as I loathe the campaigner same here.

Actually on reflection I have more sympathy for that batch of the virus.

Some kind of poetic justice in that. Well I dunno if justice is the word.

I wonder if this is a bioweapon...

I have wondered if it was a deliberate release of some low level thing to get people off the street in HK.

It's probably unlikely...

...but 6 months ago the world had anti austerity anti neoliberal riots everywhere. I wonder how many of the leaders of those riots end up dead of "corona virus." Version lead.

I'm moderately stressed about closures and downturn.
The kitchen I'm in employs casuals from Nepal, Columbia, NZ, and S.Korea. They don't have access to any welfare (that I'm aware of) if I have to cut shifts or close up shop.. and my work has suggested that any self quarantine period must be unpaid or use annual leave, until a medical professional confirms I am sick, which isn't ideal as I used my leave in January and have just started to get a few steps ahead financially.

Im hopeful things can be contained but it'll be an interesting few months regardless.

The Chinese and Iranians are pointing the fingers at the yanks..

Americans early on pointed at wuhan institute, then quickly said not bio-weapon..

The whole situation is a mess.

Restaurants will be one of the hardest hit while this thing plays out.

I can’t work from home either. I’m self employed so if I don’t work I don’t earn. It might just be one of those years I spose. We’ll get through it.

Just got back from a holiday in Queenstown NZ. Was only over there for 8 days. No confirmed cases on The South Island of NZ. Done a bit of touring on a few packed buses and boats....obviously with a wide array of internationals who’d more than likely travelled from every which way.

Travelled through Sydney then domestically within NSW, last couple of days of the trip had a bit of a tickle in my throat. Flew home and got the usual sinus/ear soreness that I regularly get when flying.

Still have the slight tickle in my throat, no other real symptoms.

None of this would usually bother me but considering the travel I thought I’d try to contact the NSW helpline and you literally can’t get through. Literally on hold for 3 hours before it just hung up.

Not really sure what to do, and the media hype/frenzy is leading to a dash of anxiety.

Good points.

Meanwhile in the USA with a population of 330 mil they have tested approx 8000 people.

They have approx 1300 cases.

They have had very little restrictions placed on people movement, and have only recently cancelled some sporting events.

So it’s safe to assume that 10s of thousands are currently carrying the virus.

The USA will not have to worry about closing its borders to countries because in approx 4 weeks they will have the biggest number of infections worldwide.

Other countries will start closing borders on them.

Take it to the Bank.

Just stay home.
