    I think we're putting more work into figuring out how Wuhan will do this than Wuhan is.

    China doesn't have to make Trump look bad. 18,000 well documented lies, $27Million fines for fraudulent activities, bragging about pussy grabbing, paying a fixer to pay off a porn star . . . these are what makes Trump look bad to anyone who is paying attention, left or right.

    Had a lower back fusion in 2001 so I need a soft opening canopy. I love my Spectre. Is there a way that you can jump both a Spectre and a Triathlon to compare them? That's the best way to figure out if either of them will work for YOU. Anybody can tell you what they like and why but they aren't you. Don't let anyone tell you that your landing issues are because you are female. That's total bullshit. Your landing issues are because no one has taught you how to time when to flare and how to flare correctly. My best advice regarding improving your landings is to take a canopy control course ASAP.

    You're right. I have two FAI world records for skydiving, and the only reason I participated was to make Trump look bad. I bet Billvon and Dr. Amy went on the 400-way for the same reason.

    Hello, I'm new in this sport and I want to have a canopy for beginners ;-) - it shall be my first own canopy - so it has to be user-friendly. I'm looking for a canopy I can concentrate on. Last year I landed a little bit hard on my botty in my first jumps and got a disc prolapse (with a Navigator). That's why I'm looking for a canopy with soft und smooth openings and soft, calm landings. I'm not interested and I know that I never will be interested to get lot of speed or do swoop. I'd like to do Freefly in the air, maybe in combination with a little bit Freestyle. And I like cross-country flying. The canopy shall bring me safely to the ground - "trouble-free" and with good stability That's why I think the triathlon and the spectre (220 or 210) are the canopys for my interests (My wight: 74 Kg = 163 ilb). Like a lot of other beginner-women I have problems to see, when it is the right moment to flare (I learned 2-stage-flare: half and than full) - especially in no wind conditution. So I often flare to high or to low. I'm not interested in downsizing and get speed. I want a save canopy to fly for lots of years. I love the slow demonstration-landings... What do you think, which canopy is better for me? What are the advantages und disadvantages of both canopies?

    Standing in line - the US eats about 6 million McDonald's hamburgers a day. How do you get those 6 million people to stand in line? If you can think of a good answer to that question, you'll have a good answer to your question about those 1.1 million. Manpower needed - China has over a million rural doctors. Those are doctors in rural areas, not even in cities. You'd only need .3% of those doctors to get everyone tested. And you don't even need doctors; medical techs will do just fine. The logistics of administering the tests are not insurmountable.
