luckily for me most HVAC stuff is shutting down as fm’s hoard their budget.Im very glad that I don't work in the HVAC/Building Maintenance industry these days, most of my work is confined to outdoor industrial plant and aircraft hangars!
It's being reported that they're finding traces of coronavirus on surfaces in cabins on the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan 17 days after passengers had left the boat.Im very glad that I don't work in the HVAC/Building Maintenance industry these days, most of my work is confined to outdoor industrial plant and aircraft hangars!
Dropped kirsty at work, went to drop past aldi for some random crap we've run out of. There was a queue around the block waiting for it to open...
It's quite scary how long its claimed it can last outside the body and they still don't really know everything about it, lots of conflicting studies done on it. People really should take caution with bringing items home from shopping and try to wash and wipe down as much as you can.Very good point. Recent studies on virus viability on hard surfaces indicated that:
How long coronavirus lasts on surfaces
Coronavirus can't reproduce outside a living host, but the virus can still survive on surfaces for hours and in some cases even days, new research reveals.www.abc.net.au
Yes to the welder.... Want to convert the springs on the trailer from slipper to full shackle.You need some fence posts and a welder ?
Ian mckay on twitter (aussie virologist) said that even though the virus was present on surfaces for a long time it loses it’s potency. A certain amount of “viral load” is needed to contract the virus. I am para phrasing here. It seems surface contact on materials has risk but hand washing will generally bring down the viral load on your hands. So wash hands before eating or preparing food..It's being reported that they're finding traces of coronavirus on surfaces in cabins on the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan 17 days after passengers had left the boat.
How many people would dump the shopping on the kitchen table and sort it, then leave items in original packaging and put them away that an infected person may have touched or sneezed on at the shops ? All the surface contact in the back of the car, then wipe their eyes or pick their nose afterwards.Ian mckay on twitter (aussie virologist) said that even though the virus was present on surfaces for a long time it loses it’s potency.

If it’s any consolation I really, really appreciate his/her music teacher.5th weekday of a family of 4 being home together. Kids are being pretty good about their school work, apart from my wife giving the younger one the year 5 history papers instead of year 2 maths. And the older one being given a task that required playing a beat on pots and pans for music. Trying to think what we did to piss of the music teacher.
There will be a whole new level of respect for teachers after all the home schooling and kids finally go back to school...... I saw a good quote.5th weekday of a family of 4 being home together.

Yep that’s why they say wash your hands all the time, even if you haven’t been out.. You can’t possibly remember what you have and haven’t touched..How many people would dump the shopping on the kitchen table and sort it, then leave items in original packaging and put them away that an infected person may have touched or sneezed on at the shops ?

From home. All Skype and email. Other than frontline staff in the residential units. I would consider most of what my organization does to be ‘essential’, though 90% is being done from home. I can’t say it is overly effectual.Who's still at work? Are you going against your work's policy to stay home?
Our company's stance has been to follow the official advice from the government, which has been non-committal and convoluted to say the least, but to be honest, the more this goes on, the more uncomfortable I am with actually coming to work. I wish the government would just shut everything down for 2-3 weeks. Short term pain, long term gain.
I think the message is pretty clear for employers, regardless of what the fed & state governments say: if you can work from home you should. We had a videocon with a couple of teachers from my daughter's school earlier this morning - they told us that 50% of students are absent, so clearly parents able to take their kids out school are doing so too - ignoring the health advice given to the government (although parents were told that it was their choice as to whether they send their kids to school or not).Who's still at work?
