Corona Virus #7

We didn't defeat The Axis with rubber gloves, paper masks and tape on floors.

Pretty sure we beat the Axis because we could out produce them. I think if we can get our act together and figure out how to safely reuse things that are now single use until production catches up, we'll beat this too.
Come on folks, we are still clever people !

I miss the good old days when Greta Thunberg was telling us we're all going to die. !

Actually the Japanese did. Things were developed in their famous 731 lab.

And the Chinese paid most of the price then.
Horrible stuff people do to people.

Have you noticed how many guys here haven't grasped the concept of hunkering down at home? Kind of scary given that a lot of us are 60 plus and some have health issues. Trips to walmart and the farm store and 4 grocery stores and the gas station. To me it looks like every trip from home is another chance to be exposed. I guess that is OK if you have seen enough of this earth and you are right with God.

I'm 60+ and work one of the essential jobs, so that people like you can stay home. I haven't missed a day of work since this chaos started. My nephew just won a Tshirt(I SURVIVED CORONAVIRUS). Got out of the hospital today.

Thursday morning report from FORTRESS TASMANIA (Hey, we've got a moat!). Aus is now at 21 deaths, no new cases reported yesterday in Tassie. All's quiet although I did have a conversation with my Chief, down in Hobart, regarding Navy Reserve call-up. Basically, I'm on the list and could be required = stand-by.

We had an alert from the Tas Gov that 2 tourists had tested positive and that they'd been on a bus tour around Tassie during March. Stops included Pyengana and a couple of places in St Helens so now we're on heightened alert for symptoms around the Shire.

No real news on my Aunt on the MS ZAANDAM. they're scheduled to arrive off of Broward County, Florida, on their 2 Apr. @ 0800. She's still locked down in her internal cabin. Apparently, Holland-America Line is trying to charter flights to return passengers to their homelands. No news of any additional cases or deaths onboard.

<snert> I read the last two words as "Spanish Fly" and wondered what kind of medical 'boost' you'd get from that?

Our state department US of A has told all Americans to evacuate your homeland.

It was mentioned in Trumps daily virus news conference. He said something would be done on a humanitarian basis. He mentioned Canada and other countries called in to repatriate their non USA citizens. I would assume the Aunt was included. Apparently a large percentage on the boat are US citizens.
