Coincidentally I had my plumber in yesterday due to a blocked toilet and he is going to order a "Caroma" toilet for us, then install it when it comes in.

Read This Before You Buy a Toilet

He says it's less likely to get plugged and I hope he is right;

Sorry if I am hijacking this thread but I guess I could tie it in by saying we are always careful to wash our hands with soap and water (knock on wood - that corona virus sounds serious!)
I heard you could get it from a toilet seat...

Thanks Neesy! I take that as a compliment! Be well, mal
You too - I just went around and decluttered as much as I could on the main floor - NOW what do I do with all that stuff? (I might end up tossing a lot out and giving the rest away to Value Village) :facepalm_smiley:

Yeah - that's right [I heard you could get it from clutter and dust too]

A vaccine for the WuFlu might already exist and be sitting in cold storage in a Houston lab.

I talked with my doctor about it. She thought it was very probable that it would continue to spread. Today, in sweden, we have 2 confirmed cases. But thats likely due to increase. In Italy big sporting events has closed down in northern italy because they dont want to have so many people so close together About 400 cases, 10 dead.. Here in sweden i'm mostly worried the traveling we do in numbers around this time of year. When they get back in all likelihood some of these will bring it. And we are a tram, subway, bus and train people which are ideal places for spreading it. Luckily it isnt very deadly but if it develops into a pandemic disease, we're not there yet, it wilill be a strain on our health resources.

We’re all screwed. The flu most people get these days is a variation of the 1918 Spanish Flu. The coronavirus COVID-19 will not be wiped out. It will probably last for a hundred years or more is some variation. Everyone will catch it in the next couple of years. It’s inevitable, so sit back and enjoy the ride. :devil:

One disturbing thing I heard was that this is not an influenza virus and the experts are not sure yet whether you can get it more than once.


Make sure to cook your armadillo to 175 degrees.

Well, now sweden has got, not the flu (it already had that) but the panic that seems to go with it. When i left you last thursday the total was 2 cases of Corona, now its spmewhere between 15 and 20. I have for the first time ever seen two people going around outside with a facemask you know the kind that is supposed to stop infection spreading. Never seen before in sweden. Stores are bought out, shelfes empty because we have also read The Stand. As long as we dont panic i think we can beat this thing.
