CoronaVirus: A Shep Smith Special Report

WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! RUN AWAY!

The breathless reporting from pretty much every source, with the exception of Michael Fumento in the NY Post is typical of the no-nothings in the media and their tenuous relationship with logic and the Scientific Method and pesky little things like data and numbers and statistics.

And the facts are very, very thin. We don't know much other than what the Chinese government is telling the world, and I believe them about as much as I believe that Epstein killed himself. Maybe it's worse than they are reporting. Maybe it is overblown to deflect attention from other things in China, like Hong Kong! And maybe it is just like most of the other diseases that emerge from China and then fizzle in developed countries because we are healthier, cleaner, have better medical care and more efficient ways to get that care to the people who need it.

I have no idea how this will shake out. Is it the next pandemic, with hundreds of millions dead? Maybe, but I doubt it. Is it the next SARS? Probably. And how many Americans died of SARS? From the CDC:

In the United States, only eight persons were laboratory-confirmed as SARS cases. There were no SARS-related deaths in the United States. All of the eight persons with laboratory-confirmed SARS had traveled to areas where SARS-CoV transmission was occurring.
For all of American medicine's faults, we do a pretty good job of minimizing the severity of things like the flu and TB and Measles and Pertusis and all sorts of diseases that are major killers in other parts of the world. Will I take a trip to Wuhan? hell no. But until there is evidence of this virus being a significant health threat in the developed world I will not worry too much.

9 What is being reported is that this was an engineered disease from a Chinese lab and it has an extremely mortality rate. This may or may not be true. It is hard to get anything reliable out of China. But there has already been several cases in the US from idiots who traveled back from China.

My trip to China was cancelled and fully refunded by the tour company in 2003 (SARS) and then rebooked in 2004 when things settled down. Of course the internet was in infancy then so I really do wonder if the current virus is similar-- just more highly publicized.

I passed on an "opportunity" to use one in Georgia near the border with Chechnya years back for "helicopter skiing". Hard to believe anyone did that - but lots of the Euros who made up much of the clientele at that resort might not have had much experience with Soviet safety practices.

China coronavirus 'spreads before symptoms show'

In humans, the incubation period - during which a person has the disease, but no symptoms yet - ranges from between one and 14 days, officials believe.
Without symptoms, a person may not know they have the infection, but still be able to spread it.

In the six years I worked for a truck line, our corporate helicopter pilot had to autogyro it in twice. I asked him about it in the cafeteria line after one and he said that it wasn't that bad, 'at least this time no one was machine gunning him when it happened.'

No he didn't. He was arrested, indicted, and then the victim decided she didn't want to testify after almost two years. There was nothing left to do except dismiss charges because she refused to cooperate. She was then happy to sue him civilly, and received a nice settlement and an apology letter from Bryant in which he said he had originally felt the sex was consensual, but after listening to derrogatories, etc. pre trial, he realized that from her point of view, she was forced for which he was regretful.
He and his wife almost divorced several times, but ended up staying together and just had their fifth child this past summer.

Have limited time in helos, in two eras. Piston-driven Hueys - you felt like you were hanging on a cable, kind of unnerving (in the hover), clunky, kind of, I was comfortable but *it* wasn't a comforting sensation.

Turbine-driven era, H-60 model, whole new world. Instant you took off, you were flying, no sense of "hanging" at all. And was funny when they tested the guns and brass would fly back into the passenger area, both the noise and the brass shocking the newbie passengers whom we would never warn in advance, just for fun.

MH-53 a few times, there was a "hanging" sensation but the power was immense and you could feel it. A light passenger load was basically empty for those beasts.

Fun they are. Safe, not quite as much. But still safe. Mostly.

The biggest issue I see is being called for scene flights in sketch weather for absolute bullshit medical issues that could safety go in by ground units.

387 In a helo the only thing holding you up is those 3-6 thin blades whirling around and the top.
Plus they have a lot of moving parts most of which the failure of means a crash.
I used to say I wouldn't fly commercial then PA started dropping out of the skies, So I said I'd fly in helos because if your high enough you can activate an autorotation which is much better than a crash.
Problem is if you're not high enough (altitude) you're screwed.

CH, I don't know all the details and don't remember them, as it happened 17 years ago. But your comment made it sound like nothing happened to Bryant in respect to an accusation of rape from a 19 year old hotel worker.
"He got away with it".

Bryant was arrested, indicted, was going to have to stand trial, lost all of his endorsements and was considered a pariah (obviously to this day) and the one thing that stood between him and very possibly jail time for felony rape was that the then 21 year old decided not to testify. She instead had her lawyers sue him( which they still could have done even if he was criminally convicted or acquitted) .
He didn't remotely "get away with it".

I'm not a Kobe fan, but it is frustrating that so much stated on this blog in the comments is pretty far from the truth.

Kobe? Who cares, really? He enjoyed both talent and money beyond the ability of even one of us to conceive of. He died doing something he enjoyed.

You wouldn't check out after 41 years of excellence? You'd rather check out after 71 years of misery?

Prayers out for his loved ones, if any, as we have empathy for those that hurt and lose.

Save your OMG that's horrible for children dying in alleys, young mothers gunned down in parks and elders freezing to death in their own homes.

475 I was in Denver when the Kobe thing happened.
He was in Summit Co. The woman in question was heard bragging at a party a day after the encounter about how she screwed Kobe and was going to get an enormous payout.
As Kobe's attorney investigated the woman was also known to have screwed the sheriff's investigator and the Count prosecutor. It did not help her image as a victim. The prosecutor and the sheriff both resigned.

Indeed. A shitty move, and not admirable. Whether for love or money, the wife forgave him. Not my business.

Does not matter from a criminal justice standpoint. If the government wants to make a felony case in my name, it better damned well be a good one - not some celebrity-driven nonsense, which this was.

This woman's case was as transparent as a glass of beer, and as weak as a wet Kleenex. It was only ever lent any credence by the courts and public because of the man's wealth and fame, and because we were already going down the SJW #BelieveAllWomen rabbit-hole.

The whole thing was disgraceful, TBH.

The government's and the woman's wrongdoing were manifestly worse than Bryant's.

If he were My Main Man PDT, he'd have done the right thing, refused the civil settlement, won the case, then sued her into penury.

But he's rich as hell, his wife had let it go, so he said to his lawyers "screw this, I'm done, MAKE IT GO AWAY."

Mr. Goddell, who is out to destroy the NFL, has had his sights set on that game since ever. There was nothing wrong with the Pro Bowl in its original form. The all-stars go to HI, play an exhibition game, hang out in HI for a week, and the football season ends. It was a time waster of a game, but I was good with it.

Then Goddell decides to tinker with it to no end, and turns it into the disaster that it is today. The worst iteration was the one on 2016, when the NFL decided it needed to be a middle-school football game where everyone was thrown together and the teams were picked by two people. That was just sickening.

556 Cases of what are most likely this new virus have been popping up - and gathering a bit of steam - on the west coast for almost a month now. I know a bunch of people that have been laid up for a couple of weeks.

It's not something you want to catch, but it's not the bubonic plague either. Biggest problem is likely going to be economic disruptions from people missing work and quarantine efforts.

This one from 2018 is the exact match of the current Bat-SARS they mapped. A leading Bat ecologist said it would be nearly impossible to jump naturally from to human from. This was all put together a few days ago. Read for yourselves or don't. Also combine the 2017 nature.com article written about the Bio level 4 research and devolpement lab, where major concerns expressed by outside experts were not seeking outside expert help in building it and pathogens escaping.

It's literally the same damn thing made in 2018.

562 Reports of a 1-14 day incubation period while being contagious are alarming. That was the holy grail trait for bio weapons.

People who escaped the quarantine because they had no symptoms may have infected others and so on and so on.

We will know a lot more in a week or so.
