And drank from the same water bottle as his preschooler in between coughs. Excellent parenting skills there.

Holy shit, can we count Ted Cruz as a casualty of coronavirus?

Wet hands. Lather for a minimum of thirty seconds. Make sure you go between the fingers and also up the lower forearms (past the wrist). Rinse (continue rubbing/scrubbing) and dry with a single-use paper towel (if in public and use the towel to turn off the tap) or a regular towel if you are at home. Avoid air dryers if possible because they rarely do a thorough drying job. Open doors with a paper towel or some other disposable item. If there is no other option, use your sleeve.

Avoid touching things like elevator buttons with your hands. Use your elbow if possible. AND DONā€™T TOUCH YOUR FACE. Remember that most people are shit at following handwashing procedures.

Itā€™s not 100% certain, but you can mitigate your risk. Cool part is it works for lots of illnesses, not just Coronavirus.

My sonā€™s doctorā€™s office called about 2 hours ago asking questions using this guidance. :frowning:

Oh god. I bet he has some ā€œKiller science questions to ask leftiesā€ list from the Heritage Front or similar. He was just waiting to spring his transphobic come-back based on 50-year-old high school science, and his orgasm was spoiled when she brushed him off with the evolution remark. (Just as well, trying to explain complicated science shit, on a medium like Twitter, to a moron, would be a waste of effort.)

2nd question down from that is probably ā€œIf man evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?ā€

Iā€™m so relieved to hear that theyā€™re ordering so many different elements of medical. Thank goodness.

Fuck *gestures broadly* all of this.

Please, please, please let Sanjay Gupta pull up this image and ask him to point out the elements that have been ordered. Please.

Lots of 95, thatā€™s the best element. None of the liberal elements like 97 and 98 though. My best friend Putin will supply plenty of 115 too.

Nice. Just what we need. Thatā€™ll help when vital information needs to be trusted.

Hmm, pretty sure Putin is fondest of atomic element 84. :worried:
