I picked up some AGM batteries at Zeus today, they are made in
China. Am I going to die? I assumed they ship batteries by boat
and by the time they get here any viruses are long dead.
Chuck, how is your employee I think she was production supervisor
or something, who was sick after opening the Chinese PCBs? My
daughter in Maine just texted me she is over a nasty cold.
Sometimes a cold is just a cold.

yeah, don lemon, i cant watch that guy for more than about 2
minutes, hes so high every night he doesnt even know whats going
on,i see him gone the way of that dude that retired on air the
other day very soon.
On a serious note, we are planning to disinfect anything coming in
from anywhere, within reason. I doubt its gonna be an issue, but
the amazon warehouse guy probably got it from air freight, so why
risk it. I figure a lysol of the box and contents, but i cant see
going much beyond that without destroying electronics.
I did lysol the shit out of some batteries i got from china off
ebay for my dad today, hes 78 and has COPD, so i got that shit
pretty wet with lysol. Hes soldering them so any residue will burn
off and clear with flux. im not even sure how they got here so fast
from china, my tool is still there since january, getting pretty pissed

OK, never mind. I see this clarification from I think
an NYT contributor on Twitter:
The White House clarifies the president's Europe travel
ban "only applies to human beings, not goods and cargo.
It tracks very similar to the proclamation issued for
China. The people transporting goods will not be
admitted into the country, but the goods will be."

Did anyone listen to the POTUS address tonight? It is
being reported as a 30 day European travel ban. But I
heard him say “these prohibitions will not only apply
to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo, but
various other things as we get approval. Anything
coming from Europe to the United States is what we are
discussing.”
He was clearly reading from a teleprompter, so I don’t
think he misspoke or ad libbed.
Does this not sound like all imports from Europe will
be blocked, at least for 30 days? I don’t think we’ve
blocked imports from China. We use equipment that
comes from European countries like Ukraine, Hungary,
Latvia, etc. Not sure how this would be implemented or
if it makes any sense to block thing imported goods.
Also not sure what the “various other things” would
be. After people, trade and cargo, what else is
there? Internet?
News reports don’t seem to be interpreting it the way I
heard it, so maybe I’m wrong?
