so awesome - the usaf thunderbirds just did a fly over the las vegas valley starting at nellis air force base all the way to boulder dam, boulder city, nv, in tribute and honoring the covid 19 healthcare workers/responders.

so amazing - we were in the backyard and could hear the engines long before any sight of them.

they flew over summerlin, spring valley - over couple hospitals and back over my house - circling on to the las vegas strip, henderson then boulder dam - back to nellis.

Yes, Jeff - I did see the Blue Angels - yrs. ago in so cal. I don't think they've ever done a fly over here like today but it wasn't an air show where they do all that scary-sky flying.

Seattle - what a great city. My friend has a beautiful condo (in high-rise) downtown and I was going to check them out about the time all the 'homeless' street people news scared me away. California is enough for me to deal with right now. I even love the rain in Seattle and all the fresh seafood - the Nordstrom store and being able to walk around. I really love that city across the water - Bainsbridge. I like the cold weather, too.

So awesome - the USAF THUNDERBIRDS just did a fly over the Las Vegas valley starting at Nellis Air Force Base all the way to Boulder Dam, Boulder City, NV, in tribute and honoring the COVID 19 healthcare workers/responders. So amazing - we were in the backyard and could hear the engines long before any sight of them. They flew over Summerlin, Spring Valley - over couple hospitals and back over my house - circling on to the Las Vegas Strip, Henderson then Boulder Dam - back to Nellis. Unbelievable -- we were standing on balcony and they flew right above us - we could literally see the bottom of the jets. Amazing.

We were allowed a trip one time to Nellis for a private air show and were allowed in a special area where you can look, take pictures of some fighter jets but they had sections of them covered that no one can see or take pics of. Amazing.

Differences between UK and US Corona Virus TV Updates

i'm in the uk, and most days over the last 2 weeks i've watched the 5pm uk government update on the corona virus situation which includes questions from the media.

generally speaking i've found the whole update, including the questions and answers, to be respectful, informative and non combative, with, to the best of my recollection, very little mention of politics and blame.

certainly no political point scoring.

Infected people won't necessarily be immune in the future since there's more than one type of COVID 19 virus floating around. Apparently they now think the west coast infection (from Wuhan) is different from the east coast - (from Europeon visitors).

For sure there's been tourists from Europe and Wuhan in NY, California, LV and every other tourist or cosmopolitan city and hopefully it's not more complicated and one vaccine will cover the killer mess. I feel sorry for the Chinese people being stuck in their country but this is over the top.

Well said, LHG and JeffT - sad. I can't believe the liberal mob media. No wonder the WHO has been able to act in criminal ways with China. So many liberal mob politicians have serious money invested in China and businesses.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Hand sanitizer isn't just for outside - hospitals, doctors/nurses use it all day long and the healthcare facilities, hospitals, are receiving all these days except a few extras they drop off at stores for the consumer. The drug stores/grocers sell out of it within few minutes after on the shelves. It's crazy. That hopefully will end now that big liquor cos are manufacturing. Can't wait. I carry it in my car, in my backpack, in my handbag. I carry the small, individual, Purell wipes, also. You can buy a big box on Walmart or Amazon and lasts long time - not as convenient as the liquid but nice to have.

LHG - I buy hand soap/body soap like crazy and have plenty - Softsoap or something that is an antibacterial - for hands - tons of Dial. I wash hands constantly (and did previously) but this is beyond plus use hand sanitizer if if think I touched something and as insurance.

I use clorox spray cleaner on counters - Softscrub with bleach in kitchen sinks and straight bleach down in drains - daily and long before all this. I really like the clorox spray with bleach - I don't have many backups. I've got Lysol spray disinfectant cleaners and several others for counters but the clorox with bleach spray is out of stock - of course.

I know what you mean about the hand sanitizer feeling gross - I think I'm use to it now. I use to buy tons of hand sanitizers to clean my acrylic brushes and get some paint medium out of my painting clothes. I never liked for regular hand washing just the fact it wasn't as good as soap. I don't like wearing hand lotion around the house but have to use now and then because of condition of my poor hands and wrists.

I keep isopropyl (alcohol) around (I'm low but not out) around and had ordered sprayers that I place in the top - so convenient and I don't even have to pour the alcohol into another container.

This is hilarious -- a girl can't own enough disinfectants, right!

It's not amazing -- we all know soap and water does the trick but hands get a tad less irritated using the hand sanitizer a few times a day to give them a break. I wasn't using hand sanitizer much before COVID 19 (since it's only 99.999% antibacterial or something) and my hands were already in trouble. Hand sanitizer seems to be less harsh. I use the hand sanitizer much less than I use the soap and water. Also, only use certain soaps - many liquid soaps don't indicate 'antibacterial' although they claim to be but have had some chemical removed. Dial shower gel was one that had something removed but read somewhere it's still anti-bacterial - don't know but not taking chances. I still would like to stock up on hand sanitizers and rubbing alcohols. Hopefully, it will become more available to the public.

Yes - I know water is available in the tap, also, but yuck.

Yes - lots of variables that the Stanford 'experts' panel haven't figured out. I don't think NY was half as strict about stay at home. Many socializing on the public transportation at night - one doctor reporting on as she returned home late at night. New York even has wet markets - unimaginable!

All or nothing - How can California have twice as many people and gazillions of Asians were arriving daily (thousands - was it 8K) yet not the negative COVID 19 stats like NY! California is the #1 destination for Asian flights. NY shut down 2 days after California - seemed like they were much more lax about it but who knows. Weird.

I think I heard Dr. Birk indicate the elderly are in the top 97% that die although not safe for younger ones - what is the 'experts' definition of elderly - over 50? I haven't been able to listen much past few days.

I believe the 'cough' illustration - thx for the share. I'll have agoraphobia before this is over/lol. I can't imagine how slammed with business shrinks are now and once this subsides.

I think the mask biz will be quite lucrative for several mos - maybe indefinitely. People complaining they've no comfortable ones but I think it's because the comfy ones aren't available to the pubic yet.
