Lesson learned: China can kill us without firing a shot. Just cut off the medicines we rely on to live. They have threatened to do just this. If only we had a President who would try to break China’s hold on us. Oh...right.

To a degree. It assists the breathing patient. It's not going to help if they aren't breathing. Also it may not be effective enough compared to intubation and ventilation. Severe ARDS may need that along with paralyzing drugs and prone position.

Everyone has 2 weeks to prepare for the virus to be imported into southern Maryland.
Meh, was just picking-up MM Jr. at his school. Half of the 70+ kids in the cafeteria waiting to be retrieved were coughing, hacking, and sniffling. He's complaining of a sore throat. So if I'm not getting Coronavirus, I'm getting something else ... probably strep. yay.
Oh, for sure. But if the hospitals get overloaded, it's better than nothing.

This afternoon I added the top two shelves to this storage shelf. I'm in the process of moving all my preps from the utility room to a spare bedroom in the basement.

That display is too pretty to eat. Make you remember that it's primary purpose is to be consumed when in need.

The big half gallon jars on the bottom are long term SHTF storage. The others get rotated but I make sure to store more than I consume so it's constantly growing.That display is too pretty to eat. Make you remember that it's primary purpose is to be consumed when in need.

Here is a second shelf that I'm still building. I think I'll need one more after this to hold everything I have stored now.

How come there are not the screw on type of lid on all? I notice some look like they only have the top.

Bob lives paycheck to paycheck. He doesn't stockpile money.
Bob never buys more than 1/2 gallon of gas at a time, so his gas gauge is never above "reserve." He doesn't stockpile gasoline.
Thats all you need for canning. The screw top just holds the lid in place until it seals. I take mine off too to wipe around the rim before storage.
The rings can present a false seal for your lids. If a jar has a bad seal, you want to see a popped lid and moldy food. The rings are for temporary closure after releasing the pressure seal of the lid.
Edit: Rings also required for the canning process itself. Doh!

Yep, basic canning. The ring holds the lid on in the water bath. The contents heat and "burp" steam being boiled off. Let it cool a little, and the contents vacuum-seal the can with a satisfying *ploink*. At that point, the ring should be loose and is no longer necessary to keep the lid on - differential pressure will do that. Do not eat the contents if the lid doesn't stay depressed (it'll pop up an be bouncy if the seal is compromised.)

What everyone else said. I leave the ring on for 24 hours while the jar cools after processing and then take it off, test the seal of the lid, wash the jar with soapy water, and then store it.
I have a couple of hundred paperback books if the TP rolls run out.

I hope that thing is anchored to the wall.

Yup, a big metal corner bracket directly into a wall stud on the top of the cabinet.
