Florentine_Pogen Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Just had this e-mailed from a friend. Might be of interest to non-clatty types.......... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As sanitiser is not an option right now because of bulk-buying, I thought I'd share a recipe for home-made sanitiser. This assumes access to surgical spirits, but hopefully those are easier to get than basic sanitiser. Edit: HANDWASHING IS STILL PRIORITY #1 70% surgical spirit 30% aloe vera gel 20/30 drops of essential oils to take away from the surgical spirit smell eg lavender/ tea tree oil for the hand sanitiser to work it must be at least 60% surgical spirit. Once made this solution needs to be shaken regularly as the surgical spirit and aloe vera separate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 A lot of people are going to realise fairly soon that their jobs don't matter, no-one cares if they don't do them, and that's going to have a massively profound impact on their mental health. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that especially high risk people (because of chemo/leukaemia etc) should get a letter in the post next week. His platelets are quite low so wouldn't be too much problem to take him off chemo for 4-6 weeks but with lack of info on length of possible threat I don't want to jump the gun and have him back on it at peak virus time. I'm sure the clinic is working their asses off trying to sort out proper info for all patients but more info from health departments would be good in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 We also have an enormous computer monitor sitting on the dining room table, now known as the 'second office'. What amazes me though is the computer that she's not been sent home with, which is the size of a 1990s CD Walkman, yet does the job of a tower station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Calder Lion Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 My boss just took delivery of a table top sized freezer for the benefit of her mother in law who will be isolating. The driver said it's the 5th one he had dropped of the area already this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 What I don't get is why has this virus suddenly jumped from bats to humans now? I'm sure bats have been getting eaten in those parts for years. That reminds me, I'll need to get some Bacofoil next time I'm at the shops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
