But, pressure canning would not be an option.

I think pressure canning would work fine. My grandparents vacationed on a remote island. My grandma mastered cooking on open fire. She even baked birthday cakes for us. 😍 Pretty sure that takes more temperature control than a pressure canner.

China’s increasingly drastic anti-disease controls started with the Jan. 23 suspension of plane, bus and train links to Wuhan, an industrial center of 11 million people. The lockdown has spread to surrounding cities.

China criticized the U.S. controls, which it said contradicted the WHO’s appeal to avoid travel bans, and “unfriendly comments” that Beijing was failing to cooperate.

“Just as the WHO recommended against travel restrictions, the U.S. rushed to go in the opposite way. Certainly not a gesture of goodwill,” said foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying.



Clearly a case of double speak, or cognitive dissonance!

yes! Very much this! ^^ My brother gave me some reusable Tattler lids. I haven't tried them yet. Most are regular mouth and all my jars are wide mouth. So... I am not sure. Do I want the ease of all one size more than I want reusable canning jar lids?

My pint jars are regular, quart jars are wide mouth. I have a few regular mouth quart jars, but that makes them hard to clean.

What if Pelosi and friends go there as a "goodwill" gesture? Hopefully they won't be allowed to come back...

I have read that if your selenium levels are low, your immunity is compromised and you are susceptible to viral infections. But I can't fine that magic number where you have enough or too much.

The tolerable upper limit for selenium is 400 mcg/day for adults. This is the info I used when I decided to supplement selenium. If you have selenium rich soil, don't supplement. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Selenium-HealthProfessional/

I have also been concerned for some time that people are no longer being vaccinated for smallpox, claiming the disease has been "eradicated"... when in fact several research labs like the one in Wuhan have strains of it on hand for "research".

When I worked at University of Texas Medical Branch for a short while I had an opportunity to visit the bldg. where they do medical research. Massive security measures in place because they do research on simple stuff like HIV - but also Ebola, Smallpox, Polio, and lots of other "eradicated" diseases that they don't disclose. Crazy! This facility sets on Galveston Island and was severely damaged in Hurricane Ike. Absolutely terrifying to think of those things being set free in a flood.... (or any other way)

BTW - I only got as far as the lobby despite being an employee and having security clearance ... I didn't argue with 'em!!

Hate to say it, but I seen air travel revenue woes coming.

Amid Coronavirus, the World Closes Its Doors to China: ‘I Feel So Isolated’

Chinese people take 150 million international trips a year, whether to cut business deals, study abroad, or visit Santa’s reindeer. Canceled flights and quarantines are thwarting China’s ambitions to put the country at the center of commerce and culture.

The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in history, infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide—about one-third of the planet’s population—and

I would advise people to study up on anti viral herbs and immunity builders and start taking them.
