OK. I've made it to 71 and all indications appear that I may have beaten this damn APC thing (time will tell)!
I continue to work as an "essential" self employed medical courier; since the crash of 2008 caused the demise of my career in corporate finance.
Best career downsizing move I could have ever anticipated!
I pick up specimens, bring them to the hospital lab and I'm as free as a bird!
Now, given the current viral environment (and my age), I have to be damn careful walking out and about in the medical environment.
So, here is my self defense kit:
1) Multiple N 95 masks.
2) Thin winter left hand glove (for opening doors), which I continually spray with...
3) Seventh Generation disinfectant. It claims to kill 99.99 germs and viruses and its not caustic, like Lysol. One day I made the mistake of opening a door with my RIGHT hand!😧 I just gave it a short spritz and went on my merry way.
Now, I don't post often (reply a lot) and if you don't hear from me in the next few weeks...
Just chalk it up to another failed experiment 😢.
Best to all

And where may I ask are you able to find legitimate N95 masks? I have been searching in vain for 6 weeks without success.
Hmm... about a year ago " darling wife" decided that we needed to sand and paint our laundry room. Concerned about my cancer, she didn't want me to come close to inhaling any paint dust. So, she bought 2 dozen 3 M masks for next to nothing (considering the current black market price)!
A friend came by and did the job. In exchange for beer, brandy and dinner. 😇
That’s a good friend and and excellent wife too. M wife is the same. Doesn’t want me near any chemicals . It’s good that they care westy . Congrats on 46 .🥳
My n95 masks have “ Harbor Freight “ printed on them , from that chain of discount tool stores. All hardware paint departments had them up until recently too. Probably gonna be near impossible to find one now.
You have had a Lupron injection about three months ago. According to an Italian study released last week, there is a protective effect from advanced anti-androgen therapy like Lupron. Of 5200 prostate cancer patients on ADT studied only four contracted COVID-19. Of those four none died. Don’t sweat COVID.
Keep rolling westy. That is , until the drones take over? Looks like a nice area there behind you . You are helping out brother. Just staying home like we are doesn’t seem like much of a contribution. Bless all of you working for us in the medical field . You look cool . The norm now for 2020 . 🌵😎
You forgot one more piece of equipment: You should be walking on stilts.... You could be in style because a pair of "SurPro S2.1 Dual Legs Support Magnesium Drywall Stilts 15-23" will match your N95 sanding masks....
