    You know how Sweden has been touted as the shining example on the hill as doing it right, because they didn't shut down, and everybody on their own just kind of instinctively did the right thing with social distancing and stuff? Tucker Carlson even dedicated an entire show about how brilliant...

    This is the one I have. https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/neilmed-sinugator-cordless-pulsating-nasal-wash-with-30-premixed-packets/ID=prod6101746-product NeilMed is probably the most popular nasal rinse. They make the simple gravity fed (low pressure) neti pots, which none of the studies and...

    It's OK. They are. :) It helps a lot. Way better than no mask at all. But way better than a mask alone is a mask underneath a face shield. It reduces the chances of thr mask being soiled, and of particle buildup (be it dust or whatever). Well, it's long been established that prolonged wearing...

    I have to assume the author of that piece is still in 7th grade, because that's precisely the grade level at which her journalist skills and writing abilities reside. As for Dr. Russell Blaylock, he's a famous crackpot who believes MSG (naturally occurring umami in Parmesan cheese, mushrooms...

    70,000 dead over virus 19

    Except for the masks thing. We know why they kept telling us that masks don't work, but sheesh. It was a blatant lie. Adam Schiff level lying. I got a kick out of the Surgeon General on Fox and Friends when he said masks don't work, that a mask actually increases your chance of getting the...

    70,000 dead over virus 19

    Just the other day someone in front of me in line at the J commented that he didn't know what the big deal is, that this thing is no worse than the flu. If only he knew how wrong he was. I don't think he was a truck driver, though. Most truck drivers seem to realize this is different, even if...

    The ones who refuse to wear a mask think it's a freedom thing, when in reality it's just a be-rude-to-others thing. I'm totally fine with shaming and belittling (but not beating to a pulp) people who refuse to wear a mask around others. I see it. Not that often because I'm social distancing...

    If everyone wore an N95 mask without the exhalation valve, there wouldn't be any left for hospitals to use. The mask below provides mostly, sort of, the same protection for others as an N95 mask with a valve. Notice the ear loops, doesn't pull the mask tight to the face. Notice the large gaps...

    It happened because the video got leaked. Not released. Leaked.

    That article is kind of (OK, a lot) overblown. It makes it sound like wearing an N95 with an exhalation valve is no different than not wearing a mask at all. The exhalation valves won't be found on medical grade N95 masks, but you do find them on masks used for construction, painting, sanding...

    They've got one being built in Leeds just on the east side of Birmingham, too. I stopped by the one in Fort Worth and grabbed a couple of sandwiches. I thought the mask on Buc-ee was a nice touch.

    Best way forward

    I don't think it as that narrow. Too narrow for a 48" skid, tho. I think it was 46 or 44 inches.

    70,000 dead over virus 19

    Gun deaths, car accidents, the flu, overdoses, they all kill about the same number of people every year, between 40,000 and 60,000. Most people will tell you they know of someone who died from a gunshot, or overdose, or car accident, but almost no one knows anyone who died of the flu. Why is...

    May this month be better! May 2020

    I was there the other day, whenever it was, and was going to get some hand sanitizer, but the sign on the door said, if I remember correctly, "Freight doesn't have feelings, so don't be coming up here with your nasty Corona breath asking how the freight is. And Turtle, you've been here too long...

    May this month be better! May 2020

    Is that the same Operations where the sign on the door tells people not to come up here, go away?
