Yves Rossy, tests amphibious operations

I agree, although starting from the latest post I had no idea as to who it was referring to. I thought reference was made to a actor or politician.

UK departs from Europe in virus response, draws criticism "The United Kingdom is standing increasingly apart as countries across Europe and around the world shut schools, scrap sports tournaments and shutter restaurants in response to the new coronavirus.. Britain’s strategy is based on the presumption that most people in the country will eventually get the virus, and severe measures to contain it are unlikely to work. ... But in contrast to many other countries, Britain has calculated that enforcing social distancing too soon would be counterproductive because people will tire of the restrictions and start to lapse just when the measures are needed most. ... “Also, because the vast majority of people get a mild illness, to build up some kind of herd immunity so more people are immune to this disease and we reduce the transmission, at the same time we protect those who are most vulnerable to it.” To some anxious Britons that sounds callous, as if the government intends to let some individuals get sick and die in order to strengthen society. The front pages of most British newspapers carried stark summaries Friday of Johnson’s warning the day before: “Many loved ones will die,” was the Daily Mail's headline. Rory Stewart, a former Conservative government minister, urged Britain to adopt “tough and extreme measures” such as lockdowns and travel bans that have worked in China and South Korea to bring down the number of new infections. “The government questions whether the British public is up for the kind of measures which have been taken in other countries,” he told Sky News. “I disagree. I think the British public will do what publics in other countries have done and can do.” So Boris Johnson's approach is that people are going to get it anyway. Let it happen so as more people recover the general population will be inherently more immune. A further explanation" The UK's chief scientific adviser has said the government wants 60 per cent of the population to catch coronavirus to try and create “herd immunity” to protect against the virus becoming an annual crisis. Sir Patrick Vallance told BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme that he thought the coronavirus was likely to become an "annual virus" and that the strategy was to limit the impact on the NHS but not stop the virus completely. He said: “What we don't want is everybody to end up getting it in a short period of time so we swamp and overwhelm NHS services - that's the flattening of the peak," he said. Clearly there is some commonality between trump and Boris. Meanwhile, in a reversal from trump's TV announcement of three days ago UK direct flights will now be banned as well. "

This one: Coronavirus (COVID-19): UK government response

Coronavirus death toll in UK doubles in 24 hours Everything is good though because Boris Johnson’s Long Journey From Trump Hater to Best Friend From above story" Back in 2015, he accused Trump of ‘stupefying ignorance’ " Even Boris is right from time to time.

Spain is set to announce a national lockdown. Deaths doubled overnight in the UK. That would be the country where no flight restrictions to US travel exist. Charles Darwin developed a theory of natural evolution. FOX and others have led the groundwork for that to play out in the next couple months. Intelligent, responsible planners will do their best to protect those around them. To ignore the outstretched handshake, instead staying home and isolating possible self exposures.

What about the million broken election promises to "Lock her up" trump never even ordered any real investigations even though he has had several AG bum boys, Barr the latest.

I sort of agree with that. But the "Communications Director, Press Secretary or Speech Writer". Are nothing but the mouthpiece of the President. The president needs to make intelligent informed decisions based upon sound medical advice. Then drive the narrative with decisions, money, directives and legislation. How about a WH round table with Pelosi, other senior democrats, republicans and experts. Orders, cash and legislation is directed to: 1. Ordering 24 hour production of the best test kits distributed to 000's of drive through testing centers. 2. 24 hour production of hand sanitizer, masks, gloves, ventilators, secondary hospital C-19 facilities, etc. 3. Immediate training of National Guard to assist hospitals and cleaning of public facilities. etc. Is it a "National Emergency" or not? Not a "Google website".

America can be thankful that the states governors and corporate CEO's have begun to lead. Canada has announced that all visitors should self quarantine for 14 days. " Drive-through coronavirus testing sites have popped up in several countries and US cities as a way to safely test possible COVID-19 patients without exposing healthcare workers to the disease. ... The new site will allow medical workers to safely test patients, who can drive through one of six lanes and stay in their cars while getting tested using a nasal swab. Priority will be given to local residents and those with the highest risk, such as seniors citizens and people with compromised immune systems. ... BioReference Laboratories has partnered with the state to conduct testing at the site, and hopes to expand testing services elsewhere across the state to as many as 5,000 tests per day. ... Drive-through testing was first established in the US in Seattle, Washington earlier this week. Denver, Colorado opened a a similar facility, which started testing patients on Wednesday. Other sites have also since popped up across the US, including in New Hampshire, Connecticut, and California. " A national effort to establish 000's of sites would allow self quarantine of asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic C-19 people. While the blame game and coverup of missteps from the WH: :Key Missteps at the CDC Have Set Back Its Ability to Detect the Potential Spread of Coronavirus from ProPublica which also disclosed The FDA Is Forcing the CDC to Waste Time Double Testing Some Coronavirus Cases Trump's focus on coronavirus numbers could backfire, health experts say " The numbers in the coronavirus outbreak in the United States are increasingly not going his way, but that has not stopped him from portraying them largely as a sign of success. ... From suggesting more optimistic time lines for a potential vaccine than scientists say is possible, to contradicting public health officials on the potential for cases to increase, to questioning the fatality rate cited by the World Health Organization, Trump has sought to present figures related to the virus that appear more favorable than reality. While praising his team’s work to combat the virus, the president, who is seeking re-election in November, has repeatedly cited the relatively low number of infected individuals in the United States as proof of the success of his early ban on foreign nationals flying in from China - where the coronavirus originated - compared with actions taken in other countries with higher numbers of cases." Come election trump, FOX and the republican re-election team will repeat the C-19 mantra "I don't take responsibility at all., its Obama's fault, its the CDC's fault".

I'm wondering what percentage of those requiring hospitalization end up on a ventilator. I was reading related stories, trying to get a handle on how long this is all going to last. So here is a sobering idea:You’re Likely to Get the Coronavirus I was talking to a friend a couple days ago. He is 63, non smoker but has a history of pneumonia. His wife is a pack a day smoker. His attitude was its no worse than flu. All a bunch of leftist media B.S. Needless to say he gets his info from FOX.

I have to give the idiot credit. It was bound to happen even a quarter will stand on its edge if flipped a million times. trump has announced that the US will start buying oil for the strategic oil reserve. This is a reversal from him ordering the draw-down of last week. Assuming this isn't a lie.Its exactly what I'd be doing to help shield domestic oil companies from the predatory practices of Russian and the Saudi idiot.

The ventilators is a good point. W/O research I'd guess 1/2 may need a ventilator and critically ill ones for sure. I'd agree with Coreece about limiting foreign nationals into a country W/O a C-19 negative test accompanying that passport. If S. Korea can deliver a test in 6 hours. Surely the cost of such testing would be a small sacrifice for travel or admittance.

If that doesn't frighten the uninitiated then they either didn't read it or they don't understand English.

You're a tremendous asset to discussions here. THANKS! You must be entertaining on those hour long loads to 12.5 in a C-172.

Put me in that reminder as well. Piling on works best when its a Cowboys quarterback but what the hell, why not!

" On his last day in office in 2001, Clinton agreed to a five-year suspension of his Arkansas law license in order to head off any criminal charges for lying under oath about his relationship with Lewinsky. Clinton has been eligible to seek reinstatement of his license since 2006, but as of 2013 he had not applied to do so. " In addition fined $25,000 Clinton make the mistake of thinking that the constitution and the rule of law applied to him. I have to give trump credit. He has redefined that sacred document in the eyes of the world.

How about this:"the COVID-19 virus could remain viable in the air "up to 3 hours post aerosolization," while remaining alive on plastic and other surfaces for up to three days. "Our results indicate that aerosol and fomite transmission of HCoV-19 is plausible, as the virus can remain viable in aerosols for multiple hours and on surfaces up to days," reads the study's abstract.... The test results suggest that humans could be infected by the disease simply carried through the air or on a solid surface, even if direct contact with an infected person does not occur. That finding, if accepted, would come in stark contrast to previous media reports that suggested the virus was not easily transmittable outside of direct human contact. " So you want to go to a restaurant, order takeout,etc?

Multiple testing of false positives.

Trump blames Obama for coronavirus testing issues, says 'changes have been made' Fox news wonders why the markets are down.

Did they refer to him as the Teflon Don? He sure seems to lead a miraculous life in escaping a prison cell. Stealing from charities, banks, shareholders, investors, other Mob members, the Russian mafia, President Putin, the US state, NY state, NYC, etc. Hereafter he'll have the secret service protecting the back of his head. Other than the C-19 virus he'll live in mob infamy next to President Putin!

Nobody's hostile. I was just thinking you'd have names and numbers of business "facilitators". "Tony's" number?

It will last until a tested vaccine is announced and a full washout of over-indebted companies is complete. Many corporations will not survive the reduced cash flows that C-19 is producing. As they have debt to service. Practically speaking, people will not start spending again until the vaccine is administered to them directly and they know their elderly significant others are safe.Beyond that people will want their savings, retirement funds, etc. at safe levels. So that will be a further drag on personal spending.

Ohio health official estimates 100,000 people in state have coronavirus

Tell us, inquiring minds want to know?

Clearly you did not read either story. Try this one from 11 days ago from the South China Morning Post. Dangers lurk for China’s ban on the wild animal trade If you think the Chinese Peoples Party is going to ban a industry thats worth $74 billion a year. That reclassifies wild animals as domestic as soon as they are put in a cage and allowed to reproduce. You don't know China." In fact they have criminalized the wildlife trade for consumption". Wow, reread the story posted above. When party officials are consuming and personally profiting from those same now "domestic" animals. "Criminal" is out the door. Pandemics were anticipated from China in the 1990's because of these markets. China won't learn because there are too many domestic political and cultural factors at play. Plus $74 billion other reasons, every year.
