Thanks for the info. I could use something like that as I recover from this flood.


The one I purchased was called:
OION Technologies B-1000 Permanent Filter Ionic Air Purifier Pro Ionizer with UV-C Sanitizer


You are pretty cluey. I am sure you did your research.
I'll see if I can get one or two also.
I won't hold my breath though. I think I may have left it a bit late.

Appreciated.

Edit:
Not that many on ebay. I bought 2. One for me and one for a family member.

Thanks anyway, jimmy!


I got mine on ebay 5 minutes ago. They still have some.

BTW, you are looking younger and younger these days. :wink:

Pepe, I am not sure those methods are safe or effective.

Some home made options are downright dangerous.

Dozens of people in Iran died after drinking industrial-strength alcohol amid rumors it would prevent them from contracting the coronavirus, according to reports Tuesday.

The state-run Islamic Republic News Agency, or IRNA, reported Tuesday that 44 people had died from alcohol poisoning in the country after they "drank bootleg alcohol over rumors that it would be effective in treating coronavirus.” But the semi-independent Mehr News Agency reported a lower figure – at least 27 people dying in Iran from alcohol poisoning amid the coronavirus scare.

Drinking, selling or buying alcohol has been outlawed in Iran for all citizens, except for some non-Muslim minorities, since the establishment of the Islamic Republic government in 1979.

People reportedly were drinking bootleg alcohol made from methanol, which is found in antifreeze, solvent and fuel, in a failed attempt to prevent infection. That kind is far more toxic than ethanol, the kind of alcohol safe to drink.

More than two hundred people were hospitalized in the southwestern province of Khuzestan after drinking bootleg alcohol, Ali Ehsanpour, a spokesman for Ahwaz University of Medical Sciences, told Mehr News Agency, according to ABC News.

Most of the deaths from alcohol poisoning occurred in this region, IRNA reported, according to CBS News. Meanwhile, 18 people died after becoming ill with the actual COVID-19 virus in the same Khuzestan province. Additional alcohol poisoning deaths were recorded in the northern region of Alborz and in the western region of Kermanshah.

So I know that one of the folk cures for influenza (especially at the stage where the throat is raw) is to drink a hot toddy.

A hot toddy, also known as hot whiskey in Ireland, is typically a mixed drink made of liquor and water with honey, herbs and spices, and served hot. Hot toddy recipes vary and are traditionally drunk before retiring for the night, in wet or cold weather or to relieve the symptoms of the cold and flu

You must use the right type of alcohol, such as whiskey, to make a hot toddy; not methanol.


I respect your wisdom.

However, :mrgreen:
I did not suggest bootleg alcohol, etc.

Glen 20 apparently kills viruses, and I have a good stock of that.
Already researched that one.
A nice spray on a cloth facemask has to be better than nothing, surely, not that I am starting that nonsense at this point.
I'll wait for the virus to take hold in the area where I am.
That hasn't happened yet.
But, as they say: "It won't happen overnight, but it will happen". :wink:

I have a commercial hand sanitizers which I can apply lightly to the nostrils.
I hardly go anywhere anyway, so these protections aren't applied frequently.

I have been pretty much a hermit for most of my life, mainly because I simply don't like the way people interact socially.
And I have been retired for close to 15 years.
I sometimes wonder if a guiding hand was preparing me for the apocalypse.
The coronavirus one, not the "climate change apocalypse". :mrgreen:

Generally the government normally steps in and captures the inheritance as taxes or debts owed in probate court.


Tell that to the kids.
We may survive a little longer if they know that. :mrgreen:

I think we have the solution: Get rid of the kids before they get rid of us!.. 8O

Quote:
“Children are flu factories,” says Hay. “And with little kids, it’s almost impossible to stop them from sharing viruses with one another and bringing them home.” Even though day care centers may wash the toys and surfaces with bleach, it’s very hard to keep up.

What can a parent do? Aside from making sure your children get the flu vaccine, not a whole lot. Even hearty adults who haven’t been sick in decades are generally laid low once they have children, Schaffner says. Just consider it another cost of parenthood. https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/feat ... at-works#3

Good point. Just hold it in for at least a couple of months. Problem solved.

Yes, I stopped aging inside at about 5 or 6. I don't like change, so I just remained there.
