Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | CoronaVirus: A Shep Smith Special ReportWE'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.

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.

For the American media it's a wondrous, conveniently timed "squirrel!!" to replace the impeachment follies for clicks and hysteria. 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.

And opioid related deaths and addiction are wiping out an entire generation. But Bat Soup restaurants aren't significant donors to Democrat campaigns and don't buy commercial spots on 24 hour news channels, so it's okay to make a boogey-man out of them while real public health issues go unspoken.

rammajamma, Meremortal (now occasionally back on the ONT) took a dream fishing trip to Kamchatka a year or so back, he posted links to pics on an ONT. They flew in an Mi-8. I passed on an "opportunity" to use one in Georgia near the border with Chechnya years back for "helicopter skiing".

The problem is that China isn't acting like this is just a bad, new type of flu. They've quarantined the equivalent of the population of California, are busy building a couple of new hospitals just for this, and shipping in military doctors to help.

Bryant and his wife with the big diamond "make-up" ring attended a close relative's Catholic parish in Orange County for a while. Apparently he was a nice/normal guy. He was not a stereotypical NBA thug, for sure. Didn't he grow up an Army brat or something kind of normal?
Posted by: rhomboid at January 26, 2020 02:53 PM (El6T/) His father was an NBA player with Julius Erving, Joe "Jellybean" Bryant. Kobe also surely got away with raping a girl in Denver. Posted by: Captain Hate at January 26, 2020 02:59 PM (y7DUB) 220

Funny, I happened to skip past an episode of Home Improvement on tv yesterday and it had on golfer Payne Stewart. Athaletes and aviation = deadly. Posted by: Soothsayer Stewart's plane had something weird happen to it. I can't recall the details but everybody on board slowly asphyxiated. It was very odd. Anyway, with everybody dead, the plane kept flying until it ran out of fuel. Crashed somewhere in the Midwest I think. Posted by: Puddleglum at January 26, 2020 02:59 PM (hW7Px) 221

A lot of people scoff at TMZ as a source for anything but, when it's something big in their backyard like this, they are almost always accurate. They had the scoop on Michel Jacksons death several hours before any major source reported it. TMZ pays big money for these kind of tips. A dispatcher or first responder likely called it in.

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.

According to official numbers (ahem) the mortality is about 3%. Compared to other recent coronaviruses like MERS (33% mortality) and SARS (9.6% mortality), this one has yet to show such dire outcomes. The 1918 H1N1 influenza only had a 2% mortality but it was far more communicable than prior coronaviruses have seemed to be. It is still early days in this outbreak, it will be months, not weeks until we see where this one goes, but so far TEOTWAWKI it is not.

Wow, I don't remember the LAX/Disneyland helo service. Somehow I recall the NYC helo service (PanAm?), from JFK to Manhattan (?).
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.

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. Why can't someone like Soros or Mini Mike have that happen to them?

Trump is soft on climate change which keeps the cost of helicopter fuel so low that millionaires can still afford to fly about willy nilly in their own personal aircraft. Ergo, Trump's fault.

Yeah they finally got a hit in Baghdad. There have been launches for weeks (like everything else, barely noted in our "press").
Iran is desperately engaged on all its (borrowed) fronts, esp. in Iraq, where its network of "militias" exercise dominance over the govt., but mostly lack any support among the populace, including and most importantly the Shi'a - for whom they claim to be the guarantors of safety, etc. Militia thugs have been killing unarmed protesters again the last few days across the south. But the protesters keep coming back, the Iranian consulates and several militia HQs keep ending up burnt. Posted by: rhomboid at January 26, 2020 03:35 PM (El6T/) 409

I worked with a Vietnam helo pilot named Crash, who'd had three of them shot out from under him. He walked away from two, minor injuries in the third, died of some very ordinary thing years later.
He swore by autorotation, the widely-supposed ability of a helicopter to more or less coast down as long as the rotors were intact. For some reason, you never hear of a high-profile helicopter having a close call like that. Posted by: Way, Way Downriver at January 26, 2020 03:39 PM (oRpiG) 420

Their economy is already flat and in some respects tottering (finance). They're losing a trade-war, bigly. Very bad timing. This will have a substantial impact on the Chinese economy.

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. Posted by: Jen the original at January 26, 2020 03:42 PM (PDFnL) 429

You'd rather check out after 71 years of misery? ----On the one hand, I'm 44, so that doesn't sound like a great deal to me. On the other, something like 200,000 other people around the globe died today, and I don't worry a lot about any of them, either. Posted by: Methos at January 26, 2020 03:57 PM (kOpft) 492

Kobe raped that girl just like Kavanaugh did Blasey.
FFS, she said he raped her. Then the DNA test came out showing she'd had sex with Kobe, but that there wasn't force. And it showed that she'd banged two other dudes that day, including the bellboy (which might have been to gain access to Kobe in the first place). And she was talking positively of the encounter, and how her relationship with Kobe would make her rich. So then she said she misremembered, and he just surprise analed her. At which point prosecutors said "ok, kobe's right, you're a liar, charges dropped, GTFO." And they really, really wanted to take him down. Total scam. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice...

Posted by: SUG at January 26, 2020 04:21 PM (dMrJJ) ------ 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." I almost fault for him for that more than the infidelity.

Posted by: Captain Hate at January 26, 2020 03:15 PM (y7DUB) 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. Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33 at January 26, 2020 04:42 PM (dhy/7) 556
