The World Health Organization has issued a warning that handling money may spread coronavirus and is urging people to stop using cash when they can.
In a warning this week, WHO reminded people that money picks up the disease which can stay on surfaces for hours if not days.
'We know that money changes hands frequently and can pick up all sorts of bacteria and viruses and things like that.
'We would advise people to wash their hands after handling banknotes, and avoid touching their face.
'When possible it’s a good idea to use contactless payments,' a spokesman told The Telegraph earlier this week.

Don't look people in the eye. The virus will jump out of their eyes into yours. Then you're screwed.

Yeah right because the virus can't live on a touch screen or keypad or a stylus that you use to sign your name. What uter nonsense.

If anyone feels their money may possibly contain the coronavirus; I will happily accept it for proper disposal at no cost to you.

I'll help you #4. I will be happy to take in all that dirty money to keep everyone safe!!
Seriously speaking, this is undoubtedly an opportunity for those control-freak tyrants to try to force a cashless society on us. I will never, ever accept a cashless society. I would rather die first. They will be happy to force their chips on us to enslave us and take our souls. No way!!

This is when I know to ignore a "reporter": "the disease can stay on surfaces for hours if not days". So which is it, hours or days?!
I tell you what would be helpful - real reporting of how long the coronavirus can stay on a surface. You know, like science.

Curl up in your bed. Pull the covers over your head. Tremble. Good advice!

There are surfaces and products we cannot avoid touching. Frequent hand-washing and sanitizer use will help a lot. I keep a small sanitizer bottle in my car.
The WHO is always hysterical about something or other. Ignore them.

There seems to be no panic when 20,000ish people die each year with the generic flu. The people panicking are the ones that won't do vaccines and want to open our borders. FUWHO cuz we got $ and it's not your business.

I sure am glad that we have WHO. I would have never been able to figure that one out on my own. Use credit cards but never mind shopping carts, gas pumps, salt, pepper and ketchup in restaurants, door handles, safety poles in subways and buses, elevator buttons, huggers and hand shakers. All of those little virus traps just waiting to bite you.

But, what if someone with the virus spreads it to his credit card and then your credit card picks it up in the chip reader? /s
Just live your normal lives, friends. And wash your hands.

Here we go! Another reason for a cashless society where your every transaction can be monitored and approved through AI! Want to go buy a gun or some bullets for target practice or hunting...check, you are now a domestic terrorist threat in the Database! You bought a tent and some camping supplies...check, you are a far right wing prepper terrorist and are logged in the AI database! You bought a 4WD pickup truck that burns mother gaia tears...check, you are...you get the picture. I have cash and precious metals that have been around much longer than this virus and will be here after! Thanks! Wipe your money down with disinfectant...it will handle it!

And in a year, look for a press release from WHO lamenting the "exponential increase" in rates of OCD.

Got this in a recent email:
Last evening dining out with friends, one of their uncles, who's graduated with a master's degree and who worked in Shenzhen Hospital (Guangdong Province, China) sent him the following notes on Coronavirus for guidance:
1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold
2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.
3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun.
4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.
6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill it.
7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.
8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.
9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.
10. Can't emphasise enough - drink plenty of water!
THE SYMPTOMS
1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days
2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.
3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.
4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.

I need to put up a few "Official Contaminated Money Deposit Stations" around town to take up #4's idea as a business. Get safely rid of all that hideous contaminated money, just push it into the slot. Put a nice Purell squirter on the side, too.
