Is the virus on my clothes? My shoes? My hair? My newspaper?

Routine laundry should not cause worry. Wash it as you normally would. While some types of viruses, like the norovirus, can be tough to clean, the new coronavirus, like the flu virus, is surrounded by a fatty membrane that is vulnerable to soap. Washing your clothes in regular laundry detergent, following the fabric instructions, followed by a stint in the dryer is more than enough to remove the virus — if it was even there in the first place.

Rambunctious Bowie may be a pup in kitten’s clothing: Send us your pet rescue stories

MEDINA, Ohio -- Bowie came into my life last September after a family friend found a litter of kittens in her back yard. I couldn't resist his adorable little half-gray face and had to bring him home -- and he's been a spitfire ever since. Although we're unsure of who Bowie's father is, I'm convinced it was a dog of some sort. Because Bowie may look like a kitten, but he acts like a puppy. Starting very young, Bowie learned that his favorite activity was a nice game of fetch. He also enjoys chasing me around the house, giving me kisses when I ask, crying at the door if I leave the house, begging for snacks at the dinner table and cuddling up to watch TV at the end of the night. The most cat-like thing he does is purr. When the COVID-19 outbreak began, I was still based in New York City. I had to make the tough decision to flee the city and come home to Medina, where I could have more space and safety, but obviously I couldn't leave my kitten behind in an empty a

Johnson/The Republic) Chandler clothing company State Forty Eight applied for the Paycheck Protection Program loan the first day they were made available. The government funding ran out before they were approved for the small-business loan, the company says.  But the apparel-line owners remain optimistic.  "We are making the best out of it and that's been the mindset for us," said Mike Spangenberg, the CEO and co-founder of State Forty Eight.    Spangenberg said the small-business loan process was "frustrating."  The company is trying to move forward and not "bank" on getting funds from the second round of small-business loan money passed by Congress and signed by President Trump on Friday.   Although retail store closures halted some business for State Forty Eight, the company continu

© Provided by Sporting News Having started out in non-league football in England back in 2011, Junior Eldstal is once again in those same waters in 2020, this time with Metropolitan Police. The difference, however, is that he enjoyed a hugely productive period in Malaysian football with Sarawak, Johor Darul Ta'zim and the Malaysia national teams in between.  Still only 28 years old, Junior made the incredible decision to return to England to focus on developing his business after the 2018 season with JDT. But over time, the lure of football is proving more and more difficult to ignore. Acknowledging that time is still on his side, Junior is keeping his options open, while keeping a close eye on proceedings in Malaysia. "I decided to play for Met Police because they are only five minutes down the road from me and I have a couple of friends there. It's quite a good standard. When I first started, the thought process wasn't about thinking to ge
