Re-reblog with some extra notes because a lot of people are just like ‘we’re all fucked/we’re gonna die’.
Listen, not all food is equally as contaminable. Some small notes are stay away from delicate greens because they grow on thre ground where the poop is but cannot stand up to rigorous washing OR cooking, which is why stuff like romaine lettuce and baby spinach is a problem.
All other veggies can and should be thoroughly washed, and if you eat a lot of raw veg and want to be safe- cook it. People have shit on cooking food lately with all the raw vegan hype but guess why we humans started to do it? Two main reasons, one is increased nutrient absorption, the other is you don’t get the shits and die as often from cooked food.
Also, meat is not your friend right now. If you are used to eating meat, I would avoid it and switch to eggs, which are sealed and even if the outsides came from a chicken’s ass, the inside is safe. Fish also tends to be cleaner and is always less at risk of pathogens than farm meat but again, be careful.
This is survivable, if it wasn’t there’d be no point to warning you. Y'all will not survive what’s coming if you see every bit of news as proof of your doom.
Forewarned is forearmed. Be safe, be sharp, be helpful.
If you or someone you care about has a compromised immune system, be EXTREMELY VIGILANT ABOUT WASHING AND FULLY COOKING ALL FOODS RIGHT NOW. If you or someone you love is immunocompromised, it might be well worth the lack of flavor to stick as much to canned and frozen foods dated before the shutdown (December 22, 2018) to be totally sure that you’re avoiding risk as much as possible. I’d personally include beverages in that warning, too – consider juices from frozen concentrate dated before 12/22/2018 instead of perishable/refrigerated juices, bottled water if you’re in an area where tap water is treated well-water, canned powdered milk or ultrafiltered milk, etc.
happy fourth anniversary to jonghyun’s solo debut album, base. base was released on january 12th, 2015. though jonghyun’s official debut as a soloist came with the digital pre-release of album track “déjà-boo” on january 7th, the release of his first mini was met with much interest and enthusiasm. the mini album included two title tracks, “crazy (guilty pleasure) ” and “déjà-boo”, a first for an sm soloist. even more of a first was the fact that, originally, “déjà-boo” was simply meant to be a special pre-release for fans. following the massive digital success of “déjà-boo”, it was immediately made into a secondary single to “crazy (guilty pleasure)” before being turned into the primary promotional single on music shows.
