On the smaller units, if you want hotter water your turn down the flow. From: Colin Stanners Sent: Monday, April 13, 2020 2:27 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: More on COVID
I was looking into tankless water heaters for some personal projects... electricity really doesn't get you much heat compared to gas options. At standard faucet flow rate (2GPM) the below would have a temperature rise of ~15-20 degrees F. Real heat requirements are more in the range of 240V 60A+.

The rest of the world has used them forever, not sure why they have only recently become popular here. Even just for washing the bird poop off reclaimed radios, a little hot water helps. For washing hands, I don’t think hot water is mandatory. I like the foaming hand soaps in the pump bottles, if the only water was cold, I’d still wash my hands.

Do you have a sink in the garage area for washing hands, with soap and paper towels? I still view handwashing as my #1 protection against contracting or spreading the virus. I guess liberal use of alcohol based hand sanitizer would be the backup plan. I know the bathroom sounds like a risk for contamination, but I’m not sure that’s true. Wash your hands before and after, use paper towels, and the sink and toilet can be sanitized pretty easily with some Clorox spray cleaner. Getting spread by clothes seems a very low probability scenario. Before I worried about that, I’d be wiping equipment down with disinfecting wipes before leaving them for the tech or getting them back, since those are hard surfaces touched with your hands.

IDPH hotline 18008893931 option 4 I was in contact with a positive case but have no symptoms Continue normal activity if contact was not within 6 feet for more than a few minutes If there are no symptoms and there was not contact within 6 feet for more than a few minutes an employer CANNOT facilitate an asymptomatic test The followup on the customer, Im not so mad now. He works in a office where a lady tested positive, close proximity. So he was an asymptomatic precautionary test, he met the criteria because he was within 6 feet for more than a few minutes. This place had another positive last week supposedly. thankfully they are closed for sanitation. We will be avoiding people that work there. Given the issue, we are closing all our communal areas, no coffee pot, not fridge, no restroom use. Primary installer will operate out of the garage and only use the garage door, he wont enter the work area. hes set up for remote now and will be on call when hes not actively on jobs. We would send the work truck home but he doesnt have a garage and we are already seeing an increase in vehicular burglary. Owner will stay remote. Other tech will be remote with his van in his garage. There is a large workbench in the garage where inventory will be available for resupply. It will be lysol stocked at night. Im a dirty bastard so ill be using the primary workspace to do builds and all that. if im not building or hanging, ill be home. I will have techs meet me on build sites as required. We will have as minimal contact as is realistic. If its just 911 guy for tower work, they wont leave the vehicle. We will go back to me humping stuff up grain legs and towers for a while if its reasonable weight. Thank god we dont have to shut stuff down for 2 weeks every time some pauper approaches us. Techs were given clear instruction that if the customer comes outside, they are to get back in the work truck and if customer wont stop approaching, just to leave the site, we will recover equipment later On Sun, Apr 12, 2020 at 10:39 PM Chuck McCown <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: You can pick your friends.

We went no touch last monday officially. he had no contact closer than 10 feet. Never went inside. sanitizes constantly. But we have no choice but to go down a tech for 14 day quarantine. We are closed tomorrow for a video-conference to regroup. Tuesday we will probably be sanitizing everything. there is little to no chance the tech caught it. he is writing down arrival to exit to help him remember if there is any chance of contamination. We have to try to get the health department to give us clear guidance on company operations over the next 2 weeks. If this guy lied on the questionnaire ...... Ill probably end up in jail.

It's interesting to me because it's bringing to light the fact that COVID-19 is apparently not what people are dying from, it's the secondary ARDS-like (Accute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) condition. There is also some debate within the medical community whether ventilators are helping or hurting.
