Ah, you're in one of those areas where they fight over water. DougRNS

Feels like it when I try to draft them or when they fly by on a climb.

Over 20 million people in Southern California and most of the water is imported from the Owens Valley or the Colorado River.

I used to fly over the canals that transport the water from the colorado river to LA. what a waste.

big john

You mean the loss due to evaporation or the waste of water going to L.A.?

WY got it's 1st case yesterday. I thought it would remain safe a while longer.

That's one of the continual eye-roll aspects - it seems that *everybody* feels compelled to make a statement or send out an email about it. "Oh, thank you so much for the email, Target - I'm so comforted to know that you're wiping down the shopping carts more frequently."

I got 4 different email blasts, all saying the same thing, within the space of an hour last night from school.
But this came up in my email at work today, and I found it a good read:

Stay calm everyone... Mass media are making this look like a huge thing by using and maintaining fear among the population. I know it's scary, but a healthy human being should be able to fight the virus. Tens of thousands of people have contracted the virus & recovered so far.

I found one (media) yesterday that actually wrote something intelligent: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcm.../#186bcd275764

I got ones from Delta, which I have a June reservation with, and from Avis, who I have rented from several times.

I think that the thread regulars have a pretty decent grasp on it, thanks.

Don't cough on me, bro.

Of course. Are they buying duct tape and rolls of plastic yet?

You've linked one website with information from 2 weeks ago about statistics in China from case information collected a month prior to publication, and another website talking about how this might actually be a net positive effect for global climate change. That's even less on topic than what I posted. And for the record this is a big thing, for a lot of reasons.

On top of the email blasts from every retail outlet I've ever shopped at, or plan to shop at, I get them on a pretty darn regular basis from my employer.... Yeah, the Colorado Department of Health and Environment is right on top of it. As is the governor, and every fool that thinks "send to all" is a good thing to do. No, you can't get it from hard boiled eggs that aren't boiled long enough. (soft boiled?)

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I can't believe the ignorance out there.

Ireland is not included in the ban and neither are US citizens. So, while anything could happen, I hope to fly back on schedule.

Holy cow!

The state has ordered the closure of all schools, gyms community centers and entertainment centers in Montgomery County, which borders Philly and is the wealthiest county in the state. Non-critical retail is urged to close. My friend who works at the Ikea headquarters in the county said the retail store next door and the one in Philly are closing.

I read that American citizens were paying up to $20,000 for emergency return flights from Europe.
Then they'll go to Costco and find the tp is all gone

Another cold, wet, beautiful day.

This may be my newest sig. Thanks, Jones!

Maybe from places where flights are canceled.
