My UK and Belgium friends -
So very horrible.

It appears the human nature desire to re-open communities is pushing up against data and science.....as many communities are announcing opening thise week.
Thank you for that update Racerbruce,828 here shows the tally is the luck of the draw. Just heard that meaningful tests here are being carried out with the labs properly primed to undertake them.
Just back from BRIXTON after dropping off supplies to mom and sis

In the first week you will feel almost nothing from COVID-19 .
It's just like some scratching in your throat , but at that moment you can already infect hundreds of other people ...

In week 2 usualy the fever comes with a very bad cold , and death tired with pains in your whole body . Then the clinical picture is very clear .
In week 3, it settles in the lungs . The rest you know ....

A simple coffee machine with a touchscreen can make a whole company sick in one single day ...
The infection grade of SARS-Cov2 (COVID-19) is never seen before !
My friend . This virus is a disaster for mankind !

My UK M5 friend -
I honor you for committing to prayer on behalf of those that are suffering.

My MBelgium friend -
It is just unreal that Belgium leads the world in deaths per population ratio. You are correct - a vaccine for all of us is in desperate need. I pray that those on the front lines of the medical response and those in 24/7 pursuit of the vaccine are protected and are successful.

Indeed my friend . Let us hope for a vaccine ASAP .

Yesterday evening I was reading an interesting article from a virus specialist .
It's actually worse than we think it is . Our governments are avoiding panic spreading .
The last words from the article were shocking . He said I won't tell fairy tales : "People get used to live with COVID-19 . In the coming years , it will be always out there with ups and downs . And the chance is big that you will get it too"

My friend stay healthy and safe

I don't suppose you could put glycerine hand cream on before the gloves.

Try putting hand softener before sleep and let to seep in before switching light off,it must improve them a bit.

Positive my friend . Cotton gloves would help for sure . No sweat anymore .
The big question is : Is cotton virus resistant ?
I think the virus can creep in the fibers of the cotton . That's why we have to use paper tissues to dry our hands and all the towels have been removed at the company .

But I really appreciate your effort to help me .
Thank you my friend and stay healthy

What if you purchased (as a test) cotton gloves and then purchased an over-sized latex glove to go over the top of the cotton glove....unsure if this would help.

My friend . Over the years I tried everything regarding leather treatment .Most of them leave a shiny greasy shine on your leather . And after a few days it's just gone .

Leatherique Rejuvenator oil is the best product you can get on the market , and it gives that factory matte soft look again .
I never touched my other products again . And finally they ended up in my garbage can .

The only downside is that it takes more work to do it . But after 48 hours your leather will be grateful .
If you have more questions . Just call me

I can't wait to try it...especially as you've given it 5 stars. The Lidl leather conditioner I used before will be retained for leather bags!

Wait for 25°C or more outside :

1- Park your car in the sun for about 2 hours , to warm up your leather
2- Drive your car in your garage in the shade and rub the oil on your leather
3- Park your car in the sun again . And let it sit in the sun for +/- 2days with your windows rolled up (closed)
4- Drive your car in your garage again in the shade . Remove the oil with warm water and dry the leather

Let me know my friend

Actually I have white cotton gloves in the quality section at the company .
To put them on over the cotton gloves , think that's no problem . But to take them off , and back on X-times a day ...lunch , 2 x break ,usually 2-3 times a pee, wash hands , disinfection gel, ect..
Sounds like a full time job

Today at the company I washed my hands 8 times followed by disinfection gel and the gloves . Ohhh...Well .
I'm 1.89 meter tall and weigh 95 kilo . I mean ...My hands are not small

I'll give it a try anyway . I really appreciate your advice .Thank you my friend !
Stay healthy and safe my friend
