Coronavirus (goes best with Lime Disease) has been rapidly spreading around the globe and causing irrational panic. There are nearly 100,000 confirmed cases and 3,381 deaths. Nearly every store and website is sold out of N95 masks...used to protect the wearer from airborne particles and from liquid contaminating the face. 3M is ramping up production and the US government plans to stockpile nearly 1 billion N95 masks.
However, this is causing a massive shortage for hospital personnel who actually need the masks. People don't realize that the mask won't necessarily protect you from getting the Coronavirus. It is only recommended to wear an N95 mask if you already have the virus.
According to Leora Horwitz, a doctor and director at the Center for Healthcare Innovation, all the buzz is for nothing, because the masks don’t protect people from catching a virus. Plus, Horwitz shared her experience with a tedious face mask test that she is required to pass ever year, which suggests that most of us have no clue how to use them.
Hopefully everyone made it through Thanksgiving. If you're still alive, Congratulations, your reward is attempting to make it through Christmas Season. What's that, you're not tired of Christmas music yet? Don't worry, there's still all the gingerbread, peppermint, decorating and last minute shopping at crowded stores to deal with.
Decorating your home for the holiday season is far from simple feat, particularly when you have children's expectations to contend with. Here are 50 funny tweets from parents (and a few non-parents) who were there to decorate for Christmas.
And For When You're Sick of It All...
It's that time of year again where offices and families around the world swap Christmas Gifts. Whether you pick a specific gift for a person, or you pick a random gift and then you're allowed to keep it or steal someone else's gift, it's a big PITA to try find a gift under $20 or $30...
Fear no longer, just pick a gift from this list and you'll leave everyone satisfied (TWSS)...Just don't be like a certain Regional Manger from a midsize paper company and buy and iPod for the Temp who you want to be best friends with and then get mad when you only get a homemade oven mitt.
