It's The End Of The World As We Know It And The ONT Feels Fine
I'm still trying to absorb the fact that we've decided to throw our economy into a Waring blender over a pandemic that's killed less that 5,000 people worldwide (and yes, I know the Chinese are lying, film at 11. Still, can't go with anything but the numbers we've got). It doesn't even make sense, but then I remember stuff like this:
Flu Jitsu
I'm gonna put all of the COVID-19 related stuff in this section, so if you're not interested, skip it. Now, when I say it doesn't make sense, I don't mean to imply that caution isn't warranted. It certainly is. Here's a doc with some common sense: A Brief Fact-Based Message From Your Doctor on Coronavirus One of the problems is the word: pandemic. I think a lot of people see that and think “OMG! That means it's going to kill me!” Nope. According to the World Health organization, a pandemic is “A pandemic is the worldwide spread of a new disease.” It does not specify that it be a disease that is deadly to a huge swath of the population (BTW, the WHO has determined that COVID-19 is not transmittable through canine/human contact, and that any canines currently being held for observation should be released. In layman's terms, that means that WHO let the dogs out).Of course, a big part of the problem is that the media and the DNC (but I repeat myself) is salivating at the prospect of this derailing Trump's re-election bid (and really, what else have they got?) Rahm Emanuel: Coronavirus Could Be ‘Devastating’ for Trump Reelection Bid To that end, they're doing their best to create panic, not to assuage it. Coronavirus ‘like a combination of SARS and AIDS’. They're saying things like “Italy's health care system is much more robust than America's”. * snort * Italy had 150 cases that needed ICU treatment and the entire system collapsed. Tell me another one.
THREAD - Here’s what you need to know about the coronavirus, based on my conversations with public health officials and hearings in Congress.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Americans are doing what Americans do: whatever is necessary. Coronavirus Ground Zero: Ten miles from the site of the first COVID-19 death in the U.S., resourceful people are responding much better than bureaucracies are. I remain confident that this whole thing will wind up being a nothing burger, outside of the most vulnerable populations, and that together as Americans we'll mitigate that crisis as well (Note to self: re-read chapter Daddy is under the roses from John Ringo's The Last Centurion. That's the America I know). Still, in an excess of caution, I stocked up on essentials today (Beer and tobacco (well, vape juice). Already have plenty of ammo). I'm ready, come what may. So, take precautions, WASH YOUR HANDS, and realize that every cloud has a silver lining, especially for Morons: Science May Have Discovered Regular Drinkers Of Hard Liquor Are Better Protected From Coronavirus
The End Of The World, Part II
Extinction Rebellion is at it again (WARNING! NAKED BOOBS AT LINK!) Blocking traffic while topless has been shown to be effective at fighting climate change. [/sarc] I'm also not sure how women are “disproportionately affected” by the climate change fantasy, but I'm sure there are loads of nice, polite female activists that are willing to have an earnest, respectful discussion of the topic in an attempt to convince you using logic and reason.
Ancient History
Researchers find evidence of a cosmic impact that caused destruction of one of the world's earliest human settlements. Looks like SMOD might not have missed after all, it just got to the party really, really early.
Thursday Challenge
This has been making the rounds: 'I challenge you all to give me a properly written English sentence with the word 'am' without 'I' next to it.' You can do it, but it's harder than it might first appear (And adding adverbs between them doesn't count, neither does regurgitating the above sentence)

then re-evaluate. Soccer league shut down to until end month . YMCA will
probably close due to abundance of caution. At least I beat the rush and bought
30 days emergency supplies a couple days ago but my wife tells me stores were
mobbed today. I suspect within a few days I will be one of the few
still going to work but only because we have a very small office. Investment account taking massive hit but liquor store still open at least. For now.
This has gone from a bad joke to a nightmare in less than a week. I was wondering what the Dem would come up with after impeachment hoax but never thought it would be this bad.

Found out his office was shut down today because one of the employees he supervises was in direct contact with someone who tested positive for corona.
Luckily my son had been home since early this week because he's been sick, but not with corona. He'd gotten food poisoning.
Without thinking about it, I blurted out, "Thank God."
Then I apologized for being thankful he had food poisoning instead of corona.

Permission to bring and use one, has been obtained.
I've been researching like hell. Cheapest I can build one is going to be right around the $1,000 mark, and to build one right, I'm also going to have to buy a forge, hammers and anvil.
Many small bits of iron-works, and no one is making them in half-scale size.

This was manna falling into their mouths. No plan was involved. This was their normal "attack everything Trump no matter what - don't think, just strike and strike hard and strike at everything" policy.
But they have the dial glued onto "11" and they have really fucked things up and they will never quit because they can't (it's out of control now and I don't think they can stop it) and worse, even if they could, they don't want to.
They incited the biggest panic of my lifetime, and did so by just doing what they have been doing for the past four years without thought or care as to the scale, scope or consequences.

I don't buy it completely, but I've read that some interesting evidence has been found that would lead credence to the idea. Just on the temperature data alone, there's no good reason why the Ice Age should come to an end, warm up, and then suddenly kick on again for 900 years before going away for good. It's a very weird set of circumstances that isn't explained by any of the standard theories.

I know moms can't help but worry, but even if your son got corona, if he's young (I'm assuming he is) and healthy, he'd probably just feel like crap for a few days and then he'd get better.
Unlike H1N1, it's the old folks who have to worry about this.
(I have to say that I'm nervous about and praying for Trump and Pence.)
Posted by: Donna&&&&&&&&V at March 12, 2020 10:27 PM (d6Ksn)
Thank you Donna. I'm not really worried about my son; he's 31 and in great health.
I just felt bad for saying Thank God for what he was sick with!
And yes, prayers for Trump and Pence. They are doing a very good job of trying to protect US citizens, and look at how they're being treated by the MFM and the Dems.
THAT is and continues to be outrageous.

The Israelis may have a vaccine in three months. Trump then needs to issue an executive order telling the FDA where to put their multi-year approval process.

I'd have a very bad feeling if the election was next month.
Just a couple of weeks ago, we were all delighted because the Dem field was such a shit show and Trump's poll numbers were going up. Now we're all scared.
But we don't know what will happen between now and November. We don't know exactly how this virus is going to peak and fade.
It could very well be that if it levels off by summer and it's apparent that there was a huge overreaction and panic, people might be more pissed at the media hype than Trump.

The vast overwhelming majority of Americans trace their lineage back to the late 19th and early 20th.
So not only did their grandparents not own slaves, their families weren't even in America, so they couldn't own slaves.
There were only 31 million people in America during the civil war and a lot of those were recent immigrants.
So the families that can trace their lineages back to actually being slave holders is vanishingly small.

A few questions:
Conversion to Islam is easy - you just recite the Shahada in Arabic ("There is no true god but Allah, and Muhammad is his Prophet").
Has your husband had Islamic religious training? Is he praying five times a day? Is he going to the mosque on Fridays?
Did you have an Islamic wedding, or did you have a secular wedding, or were you married by a Christian pastor (like you did when you married your brother)?

For the second time this week, I've realized that we used to be talking about Durham, and Hillary, and the greatest political scandal in American history, and whether any of that would have an effect on November 2020.
There's maybe a 10% possibility that that will be more prominent than corona come summertime -- but look for lefties to call it all a deflection from the corona virus with its legacy of mass graves, empty schools, zombie-like hordes of survivors wandering the scarred landscape, etc.

A) We have no herd immunity to COV19 so the spread will be fast--each person will infect between 2-3.5 or so others. So the growth will be exponential.
B) We have no vaccine for this--maybe if we are lucky, we get one by fall in time to ward of the second coming (as did the Spanish flu)
C) We have no proven antivirals for this to alleviate problems for the most problematic patients. China's experience is go directly to ventilators and intubation as milder strategies don't work and allow the virus to damage more lung tissue.
D) The disease in its worse form goes into the lower lungs and kills the patient through the virus causing Acute Respiratory Distress (shutting down the lungs--thus needing a ventilator.) Regular flu usually causes bacterial pneumonia treatable by antibiotics and vaccines (or rarely the cytokine storm in healthy folks like the recent swine flu epidemic).
The countries that have allowed it to metastasize such as Italy, China, SK, and now the US, can no longer use tracking but have to basically shut down to slow the spread enough so that warmer weather and humidity will come to our rescue (hopefully if COV19 is more like regular cold and flu viruses and not MERs or SARs.)
If the health care system overloads, then katy bar the door-people getting the shaft include the usual ICU patients such as heart patients, accident victims, cancer patients, etc. along with elderly infected COV19 patients. We have roughly 1 million or so ICU beds but about 1/2 or more are occupied right now with other patients--the risk is our surge capacity gets overwhelmed with too many patients in too short a time. Then the death rate spikes much more than the estimated .006 to .007 of infected (from SK and the cruise ship which give pretty good estimates) to something like Spanish Flu 2-3 percent mortality of those infected.
Epidemiology is statistics applied to mass death and illness and it is pretty grim. Most of you can find the U.S. population, put in the R0 values, and put the number of today's known cases and be horrified by the results of the equations.
Want to take a peek at the grim reaper equations themselves, this guy applied a bog standard equation that you can readily verify by a brief web search as to its validity for epidemiology. https://preview.tinyurl.com/thy6nqo
Right now, we are like a patient hauled into a field surgery center in the Civil War with a mangled leg--do you tell the surgeon to cut it off risking bleeding to death and permanent injury or tell him to try to save the leg which can result in gangrene over time and death due to no antibiotics.
I certainly want to be wrong, I would like nothing more than this to be a ha ha, fooled you prank like getting out of school for a snowstorm that doesn't come. But, if we don't quit grumbling and don't do our share to stop this disease like other countries have, then the next couple of weeks are going to be grim in a human sense.

I was reading about these UV robots I mentioned last night. If you didn't see it, I was fascinated to learn that the hospital where I had the knee replacement does uses a UV robot to sterilize the rooms after every patient.
The thing goes in and irradiates all surfaces with strong UV radiation.
According to what I read last night, it has cut hospital acquired infections by 34%.

Remember: The Pussy Tape Surprise was supposed to do him in. They followed it up risibly with the Herman Cain Parade of Fake Victim Women. And that was definitely it. It was just *weeks* before the election, scripted beautifully, before people were properly tuned in to what the media was, and he was "down 20 points nationally" to "the most qualified candidate ever" and another "historic first". Remind me what ended up happening.
This shit now? I understand people are shaken in terms of it taking down Trump. It's early days and none of us knows what's going to happen with the virus. But in terms of the election, this is *nothing* compared to that October Surprise, which you know they planned for probably a year.
It's a worldwide crisis, FFS. Trump's going to lead like always, and come out smelling like a rose. In all likelihood, the whole thing will blow up in the Left's face like everything else they try. It really is like watching Wile E. Coyote.

I quarantined myself. I skipped holiday parties. People called me a pussy. I wound up with double pneumonia and glad I did my part not to spread it.
Didn’t know then that it was probably swine flu cuz Obama and his media were doing such a bang up job. Neither did the people chiding me for self quarantine.
Always pisses me off when I hear someone hacking up a lung in public during the flu season. Then I wonder if they are loners and have to get supplies on their own. Once in a while I ask and offer to help. None have said yes please, I live alone. That would be awesome.
Many of the arm chair quarterbacks shrieking about the dangers of seasonal flu viruses and trying to compare them and their mortality stats with Wuhan Coronavirus are the same motherfuckers that were hacking up a lung in Walmart a couple of months ago even though they weren’t loners. Selfish pieces of shit.

The cities of Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore have all been exposed to the virus for 2 - 3 months now. There have been illnesses, and they of course have had to take the proper precautions - but there is no exponential growth rate in the victims of the disease there, no mass wave of deaths. It appears that they have already reached the state were new cases are declining, meaning that the epidemic has run its course in those areas.

Remember, again, according to CDC stats, last year, on average 100 people died a day from the flu. We've had under 40 die in three months from Wuhan Flu so far. That's less than .05% as lethal by my math. If this was some kind of death plague that threatens us all, its terrible at its job.
I mean, every day over 1700 people die from heart disease and our response is a donut sandwich from KFC. This has people shutting down schools.

It ended up being two weeks before going back to work and then a week of light duty afterwards, and another week of "maybe I shouldn't have done that" following. It's feeling pretty good now, but I'm still only at about 95 percent. Much better though.

What they're doing at Rush Hospital in Chicago seems sensible - you present yourself at the ER door saying you think you might have corona and they don't even let you in the door. You're sent into a big tent they've set up for evaluating and testing....they don't have enough test kits of course, but they're not letting the corona people mix with the people who are there for other things.

I recently read that they now make UV LEDs at 275nm. That's considered UVC, and is not that far from mercury vapor. But LEDs are tiny, and use low voltage. Maybe these could be everywhere, to sterilize commonly touched surfaces.

As far as being out in public, the operation was on Monday and on Friday I went out with Mrs Hades to do some grocery shopping and thoroughly regretted every moment of it.

I've had such a UV light in the same HVAC cabinet with the coils in the air-handler, for about six years now.
Much fewer sinus or allergy problems.
Go to your local HVAC supply, and buy a unit. Right around $100, on average.
If you're not skilled with wiring and tools, it'll take an HVAC tech or electrician about 30 minutes to install.
You'll be happy you bought one. They help.

I see above in a link someone ran a simple SIR model with very high R0 and death rates.
R0 for this stupid thing is now estimated at about 2.2, not 3.5 as was used for the doomsday scenario. That's still pretty high compared to flu. I expect the final numbers will lower once enough good data is in.

Christ Almighty,
Tom Brady made a tweet illustrating perspective for Wuhan Virus in relation to other things such as cancer using statistics, and the Fake News has a fit and calls it "controversial" and gives him shit about it like he did something bad.
Posted by: Soothsayer, very senile at March 12, 2020 11:22 PM (WH4v7)
--------------
Not really.
Apparently in an attempt to make it appear that everything was just fine, the local Communists leadership in Wuhan did a bunch of stupid things. For instance, they had a couple of big dinners (tens of thousands of people in attendance) pretty much in defiance of the claims that the virus was causing trouble. This helped infect a lot of people in a hurry.
Additionally, their hygiene and health care isn't anywhere near as good as ours is. So actions that would probably not cause too much trouble in the US are more likely to infect people in China. And when people over there do get infected, it's more likely to be serious for those same reasons.
Finally, the doctors didn't know what they were dealing with. As a result, they had to take it seriously, because it *might* have turned out to be serious. And the local Communists were actively trying to stifle any and all reports on the illness in order to make it look like everything was okay. So actions that might have been taken early on to try and nip the virus in the bud before it became serious (which are being done here in the US) couldn't happen in China. Add to that the local medical personnel - who didn't have enough protective gear - were quite literally working themselves to death. There are stories of doctors working for ten or more days straight, going to sleep, and never waking up. The overwork issue probably could have been alleviated early on if the local Communist leadership had allowed its medical community to sound the alarm and ask for outside help. Medical teams and supplies from other cities could have been sent to Wuhan, and avoided some of the deaths that occurred.

I suspect a few things.
1) most of the deaths are not from the Wuhan Flu, but... other causes such as vendetta and opportunity.
2) the deaths aren't as bad as sketchy guesses and grainy images suggest
3) places with godawful hygiene, great suspicion of medicine, and massively overcrowding combine for greater danger of death.

One of the reasons why we have 1300 cases and Europe has 20,000 was that we were much faster to cut off travel from China. Doing that was wrong too.

When meeting a woman, one should immediately start humping her leg, you know, as a sign of affection.

Right? I don't shake hands much anymore, unless the other person proffers. Sometimes it's like waggling a raw filet of cod.
Me? I go for the gusto. Make him flinch.
Conversely, a woman with a firm handshake is very cool. *waggles eyebrows*

I've got a router to router VPN tunnel setup here between Miley's and the house. I remote desktop into all my computers from here.
That's using OpenWRT running on the routers, and using OpenVPN for the tunnels. All freeware.
I even got it running over an IPv6 tunnel, and run both IP4 and 6 through the tunnel.

This is correct.
For the younger people and the middle-aged, this is probably overboard. But for older people, particularly those who already have other health issues - such as my current bishop - this is probably a good idea. Plus, the LDS Church leadership has been pushing more home-focused learning the last few years, rolling out a Sunday School program that is heavily focused on the family studying the same scriptures that will be discussed in the Sunday School lesson the following Sunday. So mechanisms are already in place to allow families to enjoy at least part of the Sunday experience even without physically attending church.

Then, today, we get an e-mail from our regional organization regarding their monthly lunch meeting coming up next week. He starts out by saying he has absolutely no problem meeting for lunch in our county on Tuesday. Then he says he understands if members would be worried about the public's perception of emergency managers gathering together in one room, eating BBQ, during a pandemic. His worry is public perception. Not fear of getting sick.
If the people who are supposedly most in the know about what's going on aren't worried about getting sick . . . makes me suspect this is a tad bit overblown.

It took me several days of playing to get all this set up. OpenWRTupgrades, and a new router here at Miley's that would run OPenWRT. Then digging in the weeds of the configuration. OpenWRT is a specialized Linux distro for routers, and has all the features of real full routers.
I managed to get dynamic routing set up (using the BIRD daemons, one of the Linux standards) along with DNS on both sides.
It works great. Any network changes are propagated across the tunnel instantly. Add a new subnet and the routes get propagated. Any machine can find any other by name. And the routers do all the work.

In the case of Singapore, they have a small authoritarian government and prevented a lot from coming there. The heat and humidity probably also assisted them along with Taiwan. Both countries used tracking and shut down people coming in. We did not from Europe.
South Korea was helped in that the initial node of the infection was a church and it was centered in one city, Daegu and that their external controls were quite good. Once again, ruthless tracking was applied.
Japan is more to the point or Italy/EU. Our own CDC admitted to a Senator that they could not do what other countries have done regarding tracking (see today's Epoch Times.).
So, we did not test and track as SK did and China did later. We did not shut down the borders like Taiwan and Singapore did. The CDC stopped the UW Flu Project from using flu test swabs to determine COV19 community spread in Washington (see yahoo news.) and botch any test rollout while preventing others from fixing their mess. If the CDC was a military unit, the generals would have been fired for such idiocy as their adminstrators have demonstrated.
So we are left with community spread models derived from evidence from China, Italy, and past epidemics. If you care to look around, you can play around with the numbers, plug them in, and get horrific totals. The equations have been around for a long time regarding epidemics and disease spread.
By slamming on the brakes now for containment, we can keep the curve from being exponential by forcing R0 downward. Italy did a lockdown in Lombardia and has now extended it beyond to the whole country. We should see the effects in about 10 days or slow with the slowing on new cases. Lombardia community spread of the disease has declined to almost nothing. Hong Kong celebrated the other day as their rigid shutdown has led them through for now with almost zero new cases.
We failed at containment as the disease is throughout the country. Thus, we are in mitigation now which is to protect health care workers, slow the spread, and protect elderly institutionalized folks.
Given the size of the country, some areas are going to blow off the mitigation and idiots will be super spreaders in a place or two but we are trying to buy time until warm weather and humidity help slow transmission even further or stop it until next fall. The Spanish Flu in 1918-19 was similar in that it ended in late spring 1919 and restarted in Fall 1919.
It is a serious matter, it needs to be taken seriously by folks put out about their personal inconveniences involved in the cancellations, but we are trying to save lives here. It is no less when the firefighters in a wildfire might have to burn a subdivision to save the larger town in a backfire. That is what is going on now.
The LDS Church doing what they did today should be a clue as they are very well informed on such matters.

I did. Twice. Last time was a Pan Am flight out of Frankfurt when I ETS-ed. It was like being on a bus to Cartajena. Most of the passengers did not speak English. I think I saw some chickens. Pan Am was already close to folding. Still, all the shitters were backed up, it was loud and the air was stifling and hot, the staff was surly.
But, to be fair, it was not the 747's fault. A fine aircraft.

I, unlike the all the retarded leftists, am not going to irrationally panic regarding this COVID-19 virus.
By the way - I think that Trump has been granted an actual opportunity on this virus, now that the leftists have exposed themselves as coordinating an irrational, global panic as an effort to "take down Trump" and destroy the markets in the process. Using the leftists own mantra he can "not let this crisis go to waste" and use it to abjectly humiliate the dems on their reaction and their polices, all of which would lead to disaster if an actual, highly lethal pandemic ever hits. Namely he can do as follows:
1) agree that all political rallies and election events should be halted immediately for a period of several moths. Secure Biden and Bernie's public agreement to do so in return for Trump halting his rallies.
2) As step one will then leave the battlefield completely empty, Trump can then commence what will be termed as a bi-partisan campaign to stamp out the virus.
3) Trump can then hold a series of very public events and visits, across the country highlighting administration efforts at halting and defeating the virus:
- go to the CDC commend the hard work of the experts
- go to the factory that is cranking out the test kits secured after getting gov't funding lined up ( highlight the fact that Dems trued to hold up funding and stuff in pet Dem projects in what should have been a "clean" bill endangering lives (Pelosi being the villain never gets old)
-go t the border to inspect the wall construction highlight how its use for maintaining quarantine and our health is now more important than ever - and how dems oppose it, even in the face of dangerous diseases.
-Get a relief bill to airlines going - go to airport highlight that" help for their sacrifice in halting flights, which democrats fought against but which saved lives, will be rewarded with tax and other economic relief
- go on television to push a temporary halt to withholdings and a temp tax cut to help working families and small businesses'.
3) go to hospitals, visit sick patients "show empathy " and show lack of fear
4) go out to eat at a Chinese Restaurant with Melania. Exhibit that the nonsense and mendacious calls that Repubs and the Admin are "racist against Chinese people" are ridiculous. Pont out the DOJ's suit against institutions of higher learning for their discrimination and how important that it is ( always good to point out the hypocrisy of lefty institutions like Harvard who clearly discriminate against Asians in admissions)
Be everywhere, flood the zone, fight the virus and be seen to be always on the offensive and acting "presidential". Its going to take a lot of work over the next two to three months but it will be worth it.
Dems will be on their heals immediately. And, as it is clear that this virus as a danger is overblown and will likely subside, as all virus activity usually does, during warm pleasant summer months (that's why its called "flu season" because it ends), by the time 4th of July arrives America will understand that this was a ginned up crisis and panic intentionally created by the dems/lefty cabal. so much so that I expect that most Americans will actually be roasting members of the Dems and MSM on spits, over an pen fire, on the 4th, . . . while wearing no masks
anyway - I know we have some folks who interface wit the Admin who read the site and comments - so please pass this advice along - from a veteran of some old-school NYC political campaigns way back in the day as a legal and political advisor.
All the best horde - wash those hands and above all - do not panic. Here in HK things have calmed down - but I think you folks have two months of this nonsense to deal with.

Tie for comfort and awesome, smooth ride and operations, between the Lockheed and the Europlane.
But the '380 wins on utterly superior seats, even in the cheap ones in the back.
The French can't design a car for shit, but they can sure as hell make a chaise lounge chair.
Hell, they even invented the word for 'em.
Pity the '380s are pigs on gas in the sky.
Triple-Sevens and 788's are just slaughtering the Airbus' seat/mile economies, in every aspect of the flight envelope.
Which is why '380s are starting to show up in desert-based, airplane graveyards.

Military flight from Italy to Bahrain got cancelled for some reason.
So the US chartered a Saudi Air 747 for us Military Members going there.
There were about 30 of us. We had the whole damn airplane. I think there were more stewardesses than passengers on that flight.
We all sat in first class, so free bar, and to the stewardesses to 'loosen up' a bit.
Its when I realized that there were Moslem Women, and Women who pretended to be Moslem.

Best Air Show, EVER. Miramar NAS, San Diego, CA. IIRC, it was 1974. Maybe earlier, but I'd have to look up histories.
Last year of the Blue Angels flying the F-4 Phantom, and OMG, did they every break EVERY rule of the "airshow over crowd" rulebook, and they flew on the ragged edge of damn near EVERY trick and maneuver.
Wasn't surgically clean like today's airshows, but you could see them pulling g's so hard, that the airframes were oscillating in the turns and pull-outs.
And afterburners. OMG, the Thunder of the Gods.
But then, after the Phantoms had been landed, cooled and displayed, the (then) brand spanking new C-5A taxied down to the runway threshold, for departure.
We all expected a long, lumbering takeoff roll, and a slow, flat, struggling climb.
We were all WRONG.
Turned out, it was empty of cargo, and lightly fueled.
That thing jack-rabbited down the runway at a sprint, rotated and then climbed just like a damn Phantom with the Stage 4 smoke lit like the devil hisself.
5,000 ft. AGL in less time than it took to realize what was happening before us.
And the C-5 fleet of today, flies with about 50% more thrust, than the originals.
America.
Fuck yeah.

Years ago, we were on vacation somewhere in the South, and as we drove down the highway, we watched a squadron of C-5 Galaxies do touch-and-go exercises at whatever Air Force base (Damn my 29 year old brain).
That's a routine occurrence at Dover AFB, DE. One ditched short of the runway about a decade ago. It was startling as all get out to come across it while driving on a nearby state highway in the fog about three weeks afterward.

I watched a good vid the other day with an experienced pilot talking about his thought process the time he "landed out," i.e., crash landed on a corn field due to engine failure while flying a Mustang in an air show.
There's video of the engine-out off-airport landing, too. So you can see what happened when it was happening.
The vid gives a good lesson in Life even of you're not into flying.

Continental MD-80, Houston to San Antonio.
THREE pax, on the entire plane.
The crew moved us to First Class, and did their best to have us drink all the un-sold liquor.
For free.
Two of them, chose to participate, themselves.
Here's the real scandal. The co-pilot didn't drink any, but he came back, socialized, and carried 'bout six bottles to stuff into his Jeppensen Bag.
And you've been 'round flight a few years if you know what that is/was.

So the daughter posts a picture of Sigourney Weaver as Ripley from "Alien" with the narrative that she didn't want John Hurt's character brought back on board with the face hugger but she was overruled by the men, and then after the shit hit the fan it was left up to her to fix their mess and, of course, now our womyn have to fix this mess.
My rejoinder was, "The point of 'Alien' (and 'Prometheus') was to never, ever let an infected or compromised being back on board and, golly gee, isn't that really just a way of making the case for closing your country's borders?"

Yeah, I said "hoax." The panic is a hoax. A consciously devised, diabolical hoax, designed to collapse the economy solely to damage Trump's election chances.
In case anyone has forgotten the basics amidst all the hysteria:
The disease we're calling "Covid-19" isn't merely "similar" to the flu -- it IS the flu.
All we're talking about here is merely this year's flu variant -- nothing more, nothing less.
ALL "corona virus" diseases are the flu. They are all called "corona virus disease." Often there are several variants circulating at once. Every year new variants and mutations arise. Some years are worse than others. Some are milder than others.
But guess what? THIS ISN"T EVEN ONE OF THE BAD YEARS. It's basically just a typical random year when it comes to the flu.
Check out these stats from one of the world's leading experts on "how not to catch diseases," the head of infections at Johns Hopkins:
https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/ health/conditions-and-diseases/ coronavirus/coronavirus-disease -2019-vs-the-flu
"COVID-19: Approximately 127,863 cases worldwide; 1,323 cases in the U.S. as of Mar. 12, 2020.*
Flu: Estimated 1 billion cases worldwide; 9.3 million to 45 million cases in the U.S. per year.
Deaths
COVID-19: Approximately 4,718 deaths reported worldwide; 38 deaths in the U.S., as of Mar. 12, 2020.*
Flu: 291,000 to 646,000 deaths worldwide; 12,000 to 61,000 deaths in the U.S. per year."
Wrap your mind around that.
EVERY SINGLE AVERAGE RANDOM YEAR, a freakin' BILLION people catch the flu. AND NO ONE EVER GIVES A SHIT. No one panics. It doesn't even make the news. It's just life on Planet Earth.
Every single random average year, up to 646,000 people die from the flu.
The oh-so-scary "Covid-19" isn't even in the same ballpark. Normal, average annual flu is EXPONENTIALLY MORE INFECTIOUS AND DEADLY than this year's milquetoast version, which we're calling Covid-19.
Yes, there is a disease. Yes, it kills people. BUT IT'S ACTUALLY MILDER THAN THE STANDARD ENDEMIC DISEASES SWIRLING AROUND US EVERY DAY.
It just blows my mind that entire governments, entire continents are entering full-blown hysteria mode over NOTHING. NOTHING.
All ginned up by the media because they know that a contented populace will vote for the incumbent, whoever he is. So: Time to upset the apple cart. Fabricate a crisis out of thin air and TRUMPET IT TO THE SKIES until mass panic takes hold.
P.S. I hate everyone.

The way to do something like that would be to buy extra for the VA. You'd have a warehouse full of meds, with new ones coming in and older ones going off to VA hospitals. If you ever got called on it, well, you're just making sure our veterans always have the drugs they need.
If you see Armageddon on the horizon you empty the warehouse and put it all into your bunker. That way your meds wouldn't all be expired when you needed them.

They also have ventilators stockpiled from what I'm reading, but how many is a secret.
Another thing they've got is dubbed FMS, federal medical stations. Each one is 250 bed facility, or can be set up quickly to give 250 beds. The idea is in case local facilities get filled up.

The SNS was used for supplies when they repatriated those State Dept personnel from China, I'm reading, and they shipped a bunch of N95 mask to Washington state and NY recently to handle the mask shortages.
They keep this stuff quiet, apparently. They don't want people to get too curious and try to find out where the stockpiles are. If the SHTF, you might have panicked hordes storming them trying to get supplies.

If you can believe the numbers (it's officially secret, but shit leaks out from Congressional sources during appropriations), the SNS has 13 million N95 masks in stock.
They decided that isn't enough, and requested to increase that supply to 500 million by 2021.

Blues have been doing their winter pre-season training there for many years, always do their first show there. The small naval reserve air station also sees a fair number of exotic visitors from NATO and other forces, who use the ranges in AZ and NM and train with us.
In WWII, a very secret squadron was training up there. F-4 Corsairs, the only ones destined for the ETO. Specifically to do anti-missile duty over the Channel and North Sea (against the V-1). Allies landed and took the launching sites before the squadron was ready. (all of this according to a guy I met who was writing a book on it - but haven't seen the book, if he ever finished it)

I posted this earlier:
ICU beds with ventilators per 100,000 people:
United States: 20.5
Canada: 8.7
Australia and New Zealand: 5.4
I wonder what the comparable number is for Italy.
It's almost as if a non-government health care system provides more resources for patients or something...

The US number is off by a factor of two. We have about 42,000 staffed ventilators in the US with a population of about 330m.

Yeppers,
Saw some obvious troll the other day - who's entire posting was " well - companies and other random people who have better info than you are panicking - so we should panic too!!" and "you Trumpmeister conservatives have been wrong about everything on this!!! Eleventy! Light your hair on fire!!!" or some such. I think it was some guy by the name of OK ?
Anyway - one of his/her points was: "in super advanced, and cutting-edge healthcare country Italy they have been overwhelmed, what chance t do we have?! Panic! Eleventy!!"
Now, Ole Publius is Italian descent on Pater Redux side (Irish and Scot on Mater Redux side, God rest her). I have family in Italy, my father went to medical school in Italy (Bologna University) and I have traveled/visited Italy extensively (including the area most affected by the virus). the concept that Italy is some super advanced nation, like Disney's Tomorrowland (but with pasta!), with all the latest sanitation, hospitals and technology is an abject and utter lie. Once you get outside the major cities, Italy becomes downright "rustic" in its facilities. Many towns still use water wells/viaduct and sanitary sewers built by the f*cking Roman Empire. Fights over water source ownership can sometimes lead to violence and vendettas. Taking the position that Italy, or Spain, or Portugal and even most of France (which I affectionately refer to, with my French exBIL, as the "most technologically and culturally advanced third world nation on planet earth!") has superior healthcare and sanitation or technology to the US is nonsense on stilts. They have a paucity of facilities and healthcare in the suburbs and countryside, most of the facilities are rudimentary at best. So much so that serious discussion of rationing of medical resources has already been discussed in Italy - and they only have 12k cases in the entire country.
God please spare me these retards and their ridiculous panic! Summer (and an end to flu season) cannot get here soon enough.

I'm thinking there aren't that many because there are people at the county level who are somewhat familiar with the SNS and they are still talking about the ventilator shortage.
Several years ago, we participated in a full scale exercise with our Health Department - some kind of pandemic situation - in which they requested drugs from the SNS. The Sheriff's Office accompanied / guarded the shipment. It was one of the more interesting exercises.

IIRC, the military did some study on the expiration dates of drugs. The 1 yr thing they put on them means nothing. Probably just a legal thing and to encourage people not to keep meds around.
But if I remember, most pills retained near full potency after over 10 years. There are some exceptions. Now liquid stuff and some others are a different story. But pills last a long time for the most part.
If they're smart, they keep rotating stuff in and out, moving the older stuff in and replacing it with fresh every year.
This program is highly secret, and all those details are classified.

A number I just saw was 4400 ventilators in 2010, but they were going to double that supposedly.
So we can figure that by now, they might have ~10K ventilators total in the mineshafts.

Our department purchased enough cipro and doxycycline to treat dose everyone in the county - 10 years(?) or more ago. Then stored it in damp, non-temperature-controlled room because it was the only place with two doors (inner & outer) big enough to hold the cache. It most likely went bad before it went out of date. Which it did because no one ever got grant funds to rotate the stock. We have thousands and thousands of syringes in storage, that will never be used because the Health Dept changed their mind about the size after purchasing them. Now they're out of date, too. We gave some to the animal shelter, but there's only so many they can use. These things are literally stacked taller than me.

IIRC, antibiotics in the tetracycline family were one of the exceptions to the "last forever" rule for most pills.
It depends on what it's buffered with and the manufacturing process, but in the worst case, it will start to break down after 3 years or so, and break down into toxic byproducts.

My lovely insurance company canceled my neck procedure tomorrow. I scheduled it because the last time the substitute doc screwed up and I didn't get the sort of pain relief I'm used to, but now the insurance company says that since it didn't work, they won't pay to repeat it.
So, because a doc screwed up, I get to spend the next month at least in pain while I argue with these asshats and try to get this paid for.
Why in hell do I pay for insurance if they can arbitrarily decide to not cover that which is covered by the policy? And use idiotic arguments to leave me miserable? Now do you see why people turn to illegal opioids to escape this nonsense?
No, I'm not gonna go score some smack, but damn it all to hell.

Grog, I've been moonlighting all week, helping out a friend with his job. (He was in the hospital). He was released yesterday, so this morning was the last. Just required me to be out-and-about for about an hour and a half, delivering newspapers. Easy, peasy, crawled back into bed and got an hour of sleep til my alarm went off.

A rare case of a judge doing it right.
Manning should have been hung a long tome ago, but the release was simply because the Grand Jury was dismissed, therefore the Contempt of Court.

That 100K in Ohio comes from a model prediction. If you get N cases from wild community spread then you have an x infection rate.
In this case it turns out x is 1% of the population, which is 100K.
To make that calculation, you have to estimates of various disease parameters. It can be total bullshit.
And if there are 100K with it, that's good, because it means it's basically a nothingburger. Lots of people who have little symptoms.

Yes indeed. You'll see people with their hair on fire running these various models, such as the simplest SIR types, pluggin in various R_0s and coming up with Doomsday scenarios like 150 million infected and 500,000 deaths and even worse.
It's totally irresponsible. Yes, the officials and experts need to run models and plan, but they need to keep their mouths shut about it.
The simple models are almost always way high. IIRC, Ebola models predicted 1 million infected, but only 30K actually were during that last Ebola outbreak.
R_0 is not known with any certainty. And it won't be known for certain until it's all over most likely.

Posted by: creeper at March 13, 2020 05:12 AM (XxJt1)
I just smoked over a paper on how the simple models tend to way overestimate the spread of disease. Simple models assume random mixing. And that's just wrong.
If you're running the SIR model for the whole US, you're assuming that an individual anywhere could randomly contant any other individual in the whole damn country.
And that's obviously wrong. In the real world, contacts are limited locally, and strongly so. So the number of local susceptibles drops greatly.
This results in dramatic decreases in the actual infection rates and all that.
Only the most sophisticated models, which take some serious computational effort take this into account.
As we know, in the simple SIR models, the initial phase of infection spread is exponential. When you add the local clustering effects, that initial phase becomes just a polynomial, not exponential.

I fucking swear to Christ but if I hear another goddamn thing about the motherfucking corona virus I'm going to lose my fucking mind.
Jesus H. Christ, of all the ginned up horseshit...
I'm gonna put on my tinfoil hat for a moment. After all the mass panicking, the canceled dribblyball games, the canceled stickpuckpunch games, the "social distancing" (Yeah? The government is gonna make everyone a trucker?), do you get the feeling that a whole bunch of rich globalists are either trying to normalize totalitarian actions, trying to prevent anymore campaign rallies by the Golden Scalp Weasel, or both?
Fuck this world.
But anyway...
I'm nearing the point where I start praying to get this shit. O God! Make me one of your chosen! Then I'll write some fucking shitty oped, a real sob story, about my brush with death and becoming like a leper.
I'm gonna need ya'lls help writing it. You filthy bunch of degenerates can surely help me lay it on really thick.

At the low end of the income scale, the State is providing all the children's needs. And those children grow into adults who continue to expect that those needs be met as adults.
And which party promises to do that, every election?
At the higher end of the economic scale, two income families depend on the schools to provide a place to take their children to for nine months of the year.
Leaving only the 100 days of summer to require planned activities and stuff to occupy the children time.

Other countries are struggling with it because the ability of their health care systems to deal with this are an order of magnitude lower than the US health care system.
This flu is harder on, and more lethal to certain demographics and most of the so-called 'elite' in this country fall into that demographic. These people are scared shitless.
Combine these salient details with the operating principle of 'never let a crisis go to waste' and what is happening begins to make sense.
Just my opinion, YMMV

I understand the short circuited thought process. They fear everyone will get sick and city services will stop. Hence buying bottled water.

Becauze "free and reduced price" measls are a big deal. In some areas they extend on the weekends and, through the summer. You can bet there's been some interesting conversations trying to square that circle. A single snow day might result in irate people calling the school "How am I gonna feed my kids?"
Multiply this by say, 8 weeks. Much hilarity ensues, I'm sure.

OK, maybe these "programs" (and that's what they are) will continue to work smoothly and uninterrupted. That might not be the way to bet, though. Not sure the logistics of all that. We had good nutritious meals for the most part, served by good old school battle axes, as God intended. I think USDA was relatively sane then. Farmer surplus subsidies were basically given back to the people who paid them in the first place. I don't believe the staples were sold for drugs at 10c on the dollar.

If this kind of crap causes PDT to lose this fall I'll work to get Dewine replaced, if I'm still here. At his age he probably won't run again, so it may be a moot point.

You're literally on your own. They didn't use the Emergency Broadcast System on 09/11/2001 either. I mean, I can't think of a better time to use it. Or, shut it down if it isn't necessary anymore. Take your pic.
This is not a hoax, but the people who used to be tough and competent and all that stuff, those positions have in many cases been replaced with pod people or whatever. When shit starts breaking down, they will bail. Plan accordingly. Power point presentations won't cut it. They will absolutely make this as painful as possible to try and deflect the blame on the President. It's utterly vile, but "Dese are da conditions dat prevail."
