you have an osmosis system that can be used for drinking water no? granted, its not ozarka but you wont run out of drinking water anytime soon.

What if people can’t leave their homes you think someone will be working in your Water treatment facility (MUD) hypothetically speaking [emoji23]

So bottle water is the way to go. RO will not take out the bacteria I don’t think.

I looked for bottle water for 3 days no luck

Luckily have 2 cases at home

Water important than toilet paper [emoji23]

That depends on the person. Some have conditions that make TP pretty important.

You would have to un hook the di part. All bottled water is filtered with RO. If I’m not mistaken we shouldn’t drink rodi because it strips the water of all the minerals that we need.

As long as you eat alright you won't have a problem with drinking DI water. Pretty much all the minerals we need we will get from food not from mineral water. A lot of bottled water isn't RO, but distilled or spring water. If it says purified water it's RO, but distilled has even less in it than DI water does since it is just condensed water vapor and is one of the most popular and safest bottling methods. We use it on submarines and the like for our sailors since it takes out absolutely everything, even the bacteria and stuff that the RO cannot. So yes it's safe to drink, but don't drink it if the treatment plant goes down like RR-MAN said.

Had a thought as I was driving through downtown yesterday so I looked up the numbers. Over 3k people die a day driving. Roughly 4K people have died of COVID-19. Are we asked/mandated to stop driving? It’s a choice we all make every day. I’m sure some people have jobs with higher percentages of death than catching COVID-19. If people chose to go to events and gatherings then that is the same choice they are making to drive or go to work etc. I work construction and all over the county so I have plenty of chances to die ,50k + miles drove a year and hundreds of job sites. When is the government going to step in and say my chances of injury or death are to high. We inform people of risk and let them make the best choices for them self’s. As far as the Rodeo and other events like that (Im a huge F1 guy) if the performers and athletes cancel then we are talking a different story.

As an army vet with a deployment under my belt, I can tell you that stuff is important even when you don't have a condition.
I bought this from amazon yesterday after I couldn't find any in stores:

wishing sickness or possibly death so you can get out of class is childish.

Hey guys, saw this thread today thought I'd share my two cents. I work for a Bio Hazard cleanup company here in the city, we were contacted yesterday to start helping sanitize public areas in and around the city. The fear is real, don't be surprised when they start limiting how many people can shop in grocery stores at one time. Please do not wait get supplies, this virus is not going anywhere anytime soon.

Called it.
Rudy Gobert from the Utah Jazz tested positive and the Jazz and their opponent have been quarantined in the arena.
NBA season "suspended indefinitely".
Donavon Mitchell also confirmed

well, not sickness and death the truth of this disease is that it has a TOTAL 2% mortality rate and with current protection and help the average American or person can live through this while the elderly will mostly die they won't die in vein pandemics are VITAL to our history and when they come so does change the 1918 pandemic showed the importance of quarantine and transparency in war and conflicts and even vaccines were part of the result of it. a good recent example is SARS where governments learned not to cover up pandemics and the dangers of doing that and this pandemic WILL expose cracks and flaws in our health care system leading to the improvement and if we are lucky overhaul of it making lives better for decades to come and with many people believing that vaccines cause autism the vaccine when it is made will show that vaccines are important again and hurt that movement i can go on for about an hour school is just a small bonus i am a crass and upfront person so that is why i said that i dont wish death on many people ( and 90% are people everyone thinks should die like kim or the Iranian government ext)

More than anything we need to start manufacturing our own drugs again. China has already threatened to stop sending medical supplies to the united states.

Here are two podcasts with doctors that have been studying these types of issues for decades. They provide some clear insight into what’s going on, what will happen, and how we can help ourselves and each other.

Side note, it’s sad that a comedian that announces for MMA is the first place where I got actual information.

simple math, 3.4% kill rate
100,000 infected = 3400 deaths
1,000,000 infected = 34,000 deaths
there is no reason to not to suspect many more millions are actually infected but since no viable tests or data makes us blind.

its easy to write off those numbers as collateral damage except, be prepared for some of that collateral damage to affect you personally.

the way it has been explained to me is that if everyone gets sick at once, there simply will not be enough respirators/ medical equipment / medication go go around. in Italy they are already deciding who get treatment based on chance of survival.
