Coronavirus

Retired 23 years
I've got a fairly good supply of hand sanitizer and masks but one thing I do have a TON of is rubber gloves. I've always had this thing about every time I went for a UPS physical or any other Dr's appointment since I've been retired I always "barrow" a handful of latex gloves while I'm sitting in the little room waiting for the Dr to come in. Usually 4 or 5 pair. I used a bunch of them for staining woodwork when we built our house but I still have god only knows how many pairs. :-)

BTW ... a friend of the family is a research doctor at Medical Research University. He has been working with the WHO and has analyzed data on those who have had it.
His research shows that virtually no one who works outdoors get it and if they do it's minor.
He also says those who eat a hearty diet, in particular high in protein, have very light cases.
He recommends a minimum of an hour each day outdoors, preferably in the sunshine and moving vs just sitting in the sun.

Taiwan Says It Warned WHO About Coronavirus In December, But Its Warnings Were Ignored

Taiwan is blaming the World Health Organization’s relationship with China for its failure to act on early warnings of human-to-human transmission of coronavirus.

Taiwanese health officials alerted WHO of the infectivity of coronavirus in late December 2019, but the organization failed to report the claims to other countries, according to a Financial Times report.
Weeks after receiving Taiwan’s warning, on Jan. 14, WHO repeated China’s claim that coronavirus was not contagious among humans.
Taiwan reported its concerns to a WHO framework called the International Health Regulations on Dec. 31, 2019. The IHR framework is intended to be an exchange of epidemic data between 196 countries.

So what you’re trying to say is this is Trump’s fault?

Brazil and Africa are fkd.

A locust plague that’s been growing in the Horn of Africa this month is slated to make its way across Northern Africa and the Middle East, the likes of which have been unseen in the region for over 30 years.

In the last month, the locusts have devastated crops in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia, and the swarm is still breeding.
The current swarm eats as much food as 35,000 humans a day would eat.

No one cares about Africans.

So you’re really going to sit there and tell me that a globalist UN agency is corrupt and lying to us?
Yeah okay buddy.
Ya, WHO repeated the lie that China put out that it wasn't being passed human to human.
Now would be a nice time to have the UN relocate to Africa or the Middle East, NYC has suffered enough.
 
The Union has come up with a plan! Though they haven’t for the unsanitary facilities. UPSers will get 10 days of sick time. Only if you or your spouse is infected, or government quarantined. Some how this doesn’t seem equal for all.

Has UPS given you guys anything like this “just in case”?
 
I forgot to add! For you part-timers the Union and UPS agreed to only compensate you for 3.5 hours a day if you become ill. Vacation/personal time you get 4 hrs. When was the last time a loader worked a 3.5 hour shift? Never.

My sister said thanks to me and our coworkers for risking our health to provide essential supplies for the country. I said thanks but about 1% of the employees are still here for that reason. Is anyone else sick
