i'm almost 69 and doing good. got guns loaded and placed in strategic places around house to take care of "tp thieves". told wife to keep do locked so boogey man don't get her.( he'd probably throw her back anyway). here in illinois the little fat guy put us on lock down. only essential businesses are open. i thought, boy this is good,staying in house and not having to do much except eat/nap. unfortunately she told me that i was "essential personnel and still had to work around house". now that the "old person" attempt at humor is over, how is everyone else? i am actually stocked up and working in garage trying to sort out my nos stuff and cleaning up yard and getting ready to till up spot for garden. just trying to lighten up someones day. here, one of the st louis radio stations is playing christmas music and someplace downtown stl has their christmas lights turned on. only other thing i can say is
"KEEP THE FAITH BROTHERS/SISTERS, WE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THIS". are you still selling/buying parts and sending them out. i am sure post office would be considered essential destination. what precautions are you taking when sending parts? what are you doing when receiving parts?

I definitely understand the honey do list around the house. Every day my wife has new chores for me to do. She did ask me to detail her car today so it will be an excuse to purchase and orbital car buffer :D

I think with shipping and receiving parts, just wipe them down. It's highly unlikely that the you will get it this way but just in case wipe down the surfaces with a lysol wipe or a disinfectant and you should be good to go. The 2 largest comorbidities to the disease are smoking and diabetes. Smoking causes lung problems where your lungs cant expand and mucous builds up and cant be expelled into your blood stream. Diabetes affects blood flow and decreases your bodies ability to heal (when diabetes isnt properly controlled).

Heres a clip from the NIH on the droplets.
"severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detectable in aerosols for up to three hours, up to four hours on copper, up to 24 hours on cardboard and up to two to three days on plastic and stainless steel. The results provide key information about the stability of SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19 disease, and suggests that people may acquire the virus through the air and after touching contaminated objects."
