Ditto. I'm talking things seriously, but the "if someone someone positive touched that cereal box and then put it back on the shelf and then you touch it, you're going to be infected" method of transmission has increasingly been shown to be infinitesimally low.

Which is good or we would all be screwed.

I still haven't touched a newspaper since this began. I kick it into the garage and throw it in recycling about a week later. Way too many people have their grubby hands on it before it gets to my driveway. The risk is low, but the benefit is zero so straight in the recycling they go.

The robots in the factory are highly offended.

It's more the last mile. Someone drops off bundles of flyers, papers and bags to the carrier. The carrier (and normally their family) then hand assembles all of the parts in their house.

I cannot even remember the last time we had a stack of flyers or newspaper to our house....I miss the Thursday flyer review

Sucks she will have a few more years but possibly not great ones. Lung transplants don't last that long and often dont restore quality of life.

At the same time a scientist from Imperial college today mentioned that this coronavirus is infectious with transmission of only about 20 viral particles from one person to another. That is very very low. I’ll keep wiping down groceries for a little while longer yet.
 
Coronavirus entertainment...…….day…??? Have a model rocket kit all set up. Ready to launch. My friend's kid will be launching it as he's built one of the rockets and is looking forward to it and I promised he could press the red button. Too windy right now as the thing will drift forever. Maybe later today or the weekend.

to be fair....that’s quite likely. The engines for this rocket have been in a sealed packet for a few years.

What is the shelf life of rockets? I have one in a closet at my parents that I should launch with the kids.
 
I spent the afternoon doing some digging on websites....

This model rocket game can get serious...

You're just at the edge of the rabbit hole. Start looking at the stuff people are launching that are liquid fueled. I'm not sure where you could touch them off without issues.

IIRC the one I have is two-stage D-C.

That is a $400 rocket. That site sells a $500 disposable engine. I wonder if that can get you a 172 charge?

Just for fun ~5000Ns on a 200Kg bike is good for ~0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds. Obviously that would be faster if you used the bike motor as well.
