Yeast, too.

Oh yeah - yeast is even harder to find than toilet paper.
We had to start a sourdough starter today instead. Fingers crossed.

Hair clippers are sold out everywhere. The latest casualty of the rona. And I really need a haircut.
I was thinking today how long my hair will be come May. Was laughing at my husband's hair length too. I keep telling myself I'm not going to try cutting it on my own. Important thing is that we're healthy when we are able to get it cut professionally and our stylists are too and still working.
Alcohol will "discharge" the filter media of N95 respirators with electrostatic filters.

Placing them on/near metal surfaces can do the same, so if they're heated up in an oven to disinfect them, make sure they're suspend away from any metal surfaces.

My wife has been cutting my hair for a while. It’s more convenient than a barber, and it’s paying huge dividends now!I needed a short Corona Cut to keep me from touching my face at work. My wife took on the challenge, her only previous stylist experience was with her doll's hair as a child. After deep cleaning our dog shears with bleach, she had a grand time in our back patio clipping away.
Dog clippers work well for Dogs and Dougs.

disclaimer: CFR is unreliable during an outbreak
but man they sure do have a high deaths to cases ratio in France and UK that is heavily spiked recently. France might dip back down due to the way past cases were all dumped on Apr 2, 2020 but UK doesn't have that excuse. Italy and Spain look rough in both ratio and absolute numbers but seem to be in the peak already.
So will the US deaths spike to meet numbers like the 4 countries bolded with 8+% deaths per confirmed cases or will we prevent that?
Italy 12.07%
Spain 9.23%
USA 2.48%
France 9.11%
UK 8.66%

From your avatar, she doesn't have a big job.My wife has been cutting my hair for a while. It’s more convenient than a barber, and it’s paying huge dividends now!
If only she’d give me a shot on her hair...
My friend got some yeast from a local brewery.Yeast, too.

I was thinking about haircuts the other day, and what they tell us about our nation's C19 quarantine response.
Nobody on TV has a hair out of place, nor do any politicians. And none wear masks.
All the barbers and hair salons are supposed to be closed in Hollywood, New York, and DC.
I guess rules are for fools?
Either is fine.I wonder if they should be using wooden clothespins, or plastic? I have a clip on my desk that looks like the ones they are using in the UV disinfectant room and its actually metal.
Q1: Can the masks be treated by heat?
A: Yes. As indicated in Figure 1, masks can be treated in hot air at 70°C for 30 minutes, and this process can be repeated multiple times without a noticeable loss in FE. But be sure to suspend the masks in the hot air without contacting or nearing a metal surface. The respirator can be hung in the oven using a wood or a plastic clip on the edge of a non-breathing zone or put on a wood grill at least 6” away from any metal surface. Hold the edge of non-breathing zone when doffing the mask, and do not touch the inside part of the mask because your hands might become contaminated at this time if the mask was. After donning the masks, wash your hands thoroughly using soap and water for at least 20 seconds according to CDC guidelines.
The first web link in Q3 shows similar insignificant charge decay results after treating the mask at 70°C for 30 minutes. This link also shows the results of killing E. coli using the above treatment protocol.
Look at how artificially low Frances numbers were, then a giant spike and 3 days of larger numbers.

if any of those look like smooth curve to you we must live in a different universe.
The one day jump was from data adjustment of previously not counted deaths.
yes, I know that but it's not just a one day jump, look at the image again

that's a 3 days higher than the entirety before that, they did report a bunch of stale data as an adjustment but that was supposedly a one time event, Then you have two other days with drastically higher numbers than before the "adjustment".
Yes, if you were not counting nursing home cases and is now counting them consistently, you would see a big spike then continued higher number of deaths every day after that.
In an emergency, you don't necessarily have to go to the ER, an ambulance can take you there. I personally know of a landscaper who was mowing a lawn underneath a beehive, got stung over 100 times. Ambulance took him to the ER and he spent three or four days in the hospital, fortunately fully recovering. The hospital wrote it down to thousand dollars or so or wrote it off completely.
Certainly the healthcare landscape in this country is far from perfect. If you have assets to protect from bankruptcy you need to have insurance. If you can't afford insurance, there's Medicaid. You can apply for Medicaid at any time. If you lose your insurance, you can get coverage immediately under the Federal Affordable Care act using Healthcare.gov in most states to enroll. There is also Cobra and other plans like the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Many are covering Coronavirus testing and treatment without charge or co-pays.
While (unfortunately) not universal for now, particularly with chronic long-term illness, there are protections for most. Also unfortunately, there will be far more bankruptcies due to the financial impact of the virus than to the costs of treating the virus itself.
