    Hey Chris! Great video as always. I keep toothbrushes, toothpaste, and those travel sized deodorant, lotion etc in my car emergency kit. I put it together after my daughter and I got trapped for three days due to a blizzard and all roads being closed. We were really blessed that we got to a truck stop and stayed there and they had everything we needed including blankets to buy for sleeping in the car. Made me realize how completely unprepared we were. Now I have enough supplies to maintain at least a couple of days for my whole family in a car kit.

    Can I suggest taper candles instead of pillar candles? I know you're limited for this video, but taper candles give off a nearly a globe of light and the melted wax drains downward. Pillar candles don't give the same globe of light, and the melted wax is trapped around the wick. You have to keep draining off the wax. I still have a few taper candles from our diy wedding 24 years ago. Time to stock up on after holiday candle sales, I hope!

    The most commonly used consumer grade antibacterial ingredient in soaps is worthless.I worked with a woman who used to work for a soap company. Germs adapt to that chemical very quickly and testing showed it is no better than plain soap. Her words were that it just creates super-germs.
    The antibacterial lotion with alcohol works well, but the other stuff is no better than soap.

      @@DropForgedSurvival Now, I'm oversimplifying this, but gotta mention that detergent still works perfectly fine since it does so at the molecular level. To put it simply, bacteria, much like cells, are covered in a lipid membrane. Now, lipids are the same stuff that makes up fat, grease, oils, etc. Detergents have a part that binds to those lipids and apart that binds to water. So, while washing you end shredding that protective cover, poking holes in it, killing the bacteria. In addition, the detergent binds strongly enough for all those molecules that made up the cellular wall of the bacteria, to bind to it instead of each-other, also breaking everything down. Now, it's true that there are those that secrete mucus and are resistant to detergents. See those slimy films that might grow up near water sources like your garden hose. Those are either amoeba (protists, not bacteria) or mucus-secreting bacteria.
      It's true that bacteria "adapt" really fast to deadly chemicals that are meant to enter the cell and poison them. They can simply not let it in. They might be able to pump it out. They might be able to neutralize it somehow. This is, for example, what happens with hydrogen peroxide. All those bubbles are the bacteria turning something that's poisonous to them into something that isn't. So, once the bubbling stops, it means you've overwhelmed their capacity to counteract this toxic substance and they start dying out. (Note: do not use hydrogen peroxyde on open wounds. What created the bubbling there are your own cells).
      Alcohol is a toxic substance, but it's also a desiccant and a solvent, and much like detergent, it acts on a molecular level. Hence why it's the preferred method and why high concentrations of it will kill basically anything, including viruses - which aren't cells. Viruses are closed systems and not metabolically active. They don't take things in or out. They are not affected by poisonous substances, but alcohol and detergent still break them down. Thought detergent is far less effective as the virus cover is a protein one, albeit, many also have a lipid sheath which they may need in order to infect and that is vulnerable to detergent. That's why washing your hands is very important. There's also the fact that even if detergent is not effective at breaking down a virus or a bacteria, they still get stuck and wash off with water, essentially removing the pathogen even if it doesn't kill it.
      You might be seeing shortages of rubbing alcohol, but you should try and check the barbeque section for bio-ethanol. High-grade bio-ethanol (96º+) is used as fuel for burning stoves and it's literally the same thing as rubbing alcohol using for disinfection. Isopropyl alcohol - typically used to clean electronic circuits - is also as good as ethanol and it's likely that's being overlooked. No one goes to an electronics dealer to buy disinfectant.
      If a disinfectant is graded and homologated against viruses and encapsulated viruses, do not worry, there's no way for the virus to adapt to it like bacteria do because it means it acts on a molecular level, breaking the bonds of the protein capsid of the virus. Remember, viruses are not metabolically active, and can't actively defend to anything attacking them outside the body. Unlike bacteria, they can't run away from it, they can't counteract it or neutralize it, they can't pump it out and they can't prevent it from damaging their protective cover at all.

      Just a heads up about essential services, recently New Zealand went into a 4 week lock down. None of the hardware stores are open except for those in essential services. If you are a non essential worker that means you can't purchase goods during the lock down (that also includes online orders). It will probably be different in America and different again depending on what state you live in, but it could happen. Prep now before a lock down happens, you'll be glad you did.

      You need to be alive to worry about the economic consequences.
      Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea learned the lesson from SARS well and jumped on this infection hard and fast, so are well placed to come out of the depression that will follow the pandemic strongly and quickly. Japan at least had some measures, like adequate face masks for all, proper PPE for essential healthcare workers, and sufficient medical supplies.
      Epidemiologists were warning that it was inevitable at some stage, but most governments chose to ignore them, and the relatively inexpensive costs of keeping their populations safe. Certainly mine and probably yours, unless you are from one of the countries already mentioned. 60-80% is what it will need for true herd immunity to be effective - when an infected person is only surrounded by people with immunity acquired either by infection or vaccination and at present. infection is winning that race. Vaccines against completely new viruses like this one take a long time to develop and test first for safety then efficacy before production can even start.
      The stock market may (and probably should) collapse from its artificially inflated bubble, but the stock market is not THE economy, it is just AN economy. Economies operate even without the imaginary money created by banks (credit, aka the government authorising banks to lend money to the government!), as anyone who has ever been at a boarding school or in jail will know, and certainly anyone old enough to remember when cash was normal. Governments don't like any of them much as they can't track them and get a slice of the pie! Barter, labour in exchange for goods, or exchange of some items of generally accepted value all work just fine even in the absence of any national currency with any value.

      Pawprint hero's not sure where you get your "99% are overflow or defects". May be true for stores like 'Dollarama'(Canadian, right?), but stores like Dollar Tree or Family Dollar(same company) don't get defective or factory seconds. Most of their products are made specially for them, and in the case of name brand products, they sell way too much for them to only sell defective merchandise. Closeout stores like Ollie's or Odd Lots/Big Lots are more likely to get that type of merchandise, but the reality is that most companies won't let defective merchandise, even printing label errors, out of the factory. Mostly due to liability involved.

    Around March 9, I called my next door neighbor who was in her 70’s and her husband with frail health in his eighties!!! They have been the best neighbor I ever had and I go out of my way to help them out and look after them like I would my own parents. Unfortunately, it has been hard for me to convince them to self quarantine! I volunteer to run their errands, but they wanted to maintain their independence which I can understand under normal circumstances. They celebrated their 57th anniversary in mid March and went out to eat with a few of their friends before the mandatory quarantine!!
    I called them regularly to see if there is anything I can do for them and I spoke to her on the phone last night. She said they were doing fine. I woke up this morning to find the fire rescue truck parked in front of their house, soon two police officers showed up and I knew something serious was happening. I learned that he died this morning and they just carried his body out of the house about an hour ago. It’s surreal!!! Please be careful.

    I’m concerned at this point, and I really cannot thank you and your wonderful family enough for all you all do. As someone who is immunocompromised I am concerned at this time, and ill already because of a cold I’ve been fighting for months now, and I’m sure if I got covid19 it would be bad for me. So as it stands when going out at this time when I have to I wear ppe I’ve had of my own for years, and I’m taking every possible precaution. You all are amazing, and I cannot thank you and your family enough. If you’re ever curious about what I use as someone who is chronically ill who relies on ppe (throughout flu season especially) feel free to let me know here, and I’ll contact you through Facebook messenger about it. There is a lot that many don’t know about ppe and safe protocols people don’t understand. I have a family member who was a health and safety advisor for a local fire company and who dealt with Osha through his day job. Hope you and your family are doing well and happy. God bless and thank you again.
