Just talked to the neighbor. That is exactly what he is planning to do. Going to let them air dry for a couple days and then freeze them. Thanks @Gulfcoastguy.Gulfcoastguy said:
You put the berries in a colander/strainer and run tap water through them.

Just so everyone understands what they are looking at with this chart...JohnInCarolina said:
Not a race we should be winning. I’m getting tired of all of the winning.
We have all heard that viruses proliferate through a population at an exponential rate. Looking at charts of numbers that all fly upward in a hasty curve does not tell us a lot. So this chart shows the logarithm of an exponential function, which turns that upward swinging curve into a straight line. Every line starts a country off at 100 positive cases. The dashed lines show what a growth rate looks like if the virus doubles in the population every day (which is disastrous), every 2 days (which is also disastrous), every 3 days (which is bad, and what a lot of countries start at before taking steps to mitigate the spread), and every 7 days, which is much more manageable from a healthcare perspective.
The fact that the dashed lines are straight and the country lines are curved demonstrates that every country takes steps to slow the doubling rate of the virus (or that everyone gets sick and so the spread slows naturally), so the curve indicates a change in the doubling rate of the spread. Most of the curve in the US comes from New York and Detroit, which are now starting to slow down. Let's hope that other areas in the US don't take over and pull that curve up again.
Looking at virus spread on a per capita basis is not very effective - it is the pace of the spread that is of concern to a society because a faster pace stresses the ability to respond to the emergency. As we have seen, once a region's healthcare system is taxed beyond its ability to deal with it effectively, all hell breaks loose (supplies, run out, death rates increase, etc.). -
Good explanation, @HB and Welcome!

@2HB great to see you back my friend! why not request buffalo to reset your password? hope all is well with you and family, stay safe.canuckland

Thanks! I asked the Buffalo weeks ago to reset my SkySaw username, but still no response. I'm doing ok, although working strictly from home has too many distractions, especially with the wife and kids around. I hope you are doing well - I stopped in at Dickson BBQ to get a few supplies a few weeks before everything shut down and thought of you.Canugghead said:@2HB great to see you back my friend! why not request buffalo to reset your password? hope all is well with you and family, stay safe. -
Exactly right, and thank you.2HB said:

Last Sunday the "Ebola Czar" under President Obama was interviewed on one of the political talk shows (can't recall his name). He was part of the transition briefing between Obama and trump regarding "future threats". The #1 threat to the US they briefed was lack of preparation against a pandemic. In the gentleman's words, if it didn't involve "bombs, bullets, brown skin or muslims", neither bolton nor trump wanted to hear about it; they were dismissed.JohnInCarolina said:

Have you read “The Fifth Risk” by Michael Lewis? I definitely recommend it. He covered the transition team, and, well...Botch said:

I'll be honest, I've only started hunkering down for the last six weeks or so, and wearing a facemask in the last week (in stores/gas stations). The roads here have been cleared a bit, but I'd say only 50% (I've been driving daily, not to go anywhere, but just get out of the damn house; I'm still "sitting", though). Still taking my twice-daily walks without a mask, although everyone I meet steps 3 feet to the right, as do I, so most folk here "get it".

This is a group we are working with to supply face shields to essential workers. There are even a few private pilots using their planes to deliver them.

February 12 globally 1261 had died to CVD19.
Today, 2 months later, over 110,000.
"Trump for his part spent the first weeks of February telling the country the problem is going away. FEBRUARY 10-12 at a governor's conference, then later in an interview with Trish Regan, of FOX Business - that warm spring weather would kill the virus. "Looks like by April, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away." "
February 12, in the United States and territories there were no recorded infections of CVD19. Two months later, in the warmer weather, it has not gone away.
There have been 534,000+ infected, and over 20,500 killed by CVD19 in the USA today.
These are the facts.
Stay safe.
