What ever happened to flying since the days when OJ could sprint down corridors and leap the line-ropes?
Jeez....gonna have 30k cases next weekend. What a charlie foxtrot.
So if you didn’t have it when you got to the airport you will by the time you leave.
Was told that airport screenings consisted only of checking a passenger temperature. (needs verification)
Diversity is our strength!!
Open borders!
No walls!
Yea, how’s that working out? Not so well it would seem!
Just think if we had secured borders and controlled migration. Maybe even screening legal immigrants for contagious diseases.
I know, what a dream!
Hey macarana!
Pass the Corona Extra!
si se puedo
By Dean Koontz. A book entitled “The eyes of darkness.” Published in 1981. On page 312 it says:
“In around 2020, a severe pneumonia like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived, attacking again ten years later, then disappear altogether.”
One thing happened a bit earlier - deregulation.
Hence no empty, small, jammed-in seats.
Now with the TSA we have to be jammed up longer waiting to board.
If you don’t want to wait in crowds, return on your already scheduled date if you can.
I did not say it was. I just posted the email he sent me. I thought it interesting. I did not read the book nor know anything about the book. I just thought it interesting. You can find many a book out there that predicts some things that come near many things that happen in the world. One person replied back to me that Nostradamus also made some kind of prediction close to this. So, there. I didn’t say it was FACT!
Sorry if I seemed short. Just an observation.
Like the buses and the trains in the 60s, the airlines today have turned into cattlecars (or sardine cans). The rich now fly in private planes.
With self-driving cars that will soon be forced on the public (with outrageous insurance rates for those who chose to drive themselves), self-flying planes will be a generation or two down the road.
No worries. Same with me. Just an observation of the email my friend sent me. Like I said, I knew nothing about the book it came from nor any of the pages before or after. Until I clicked on the page you put there, I did not know that it even mentioned the same city in China, if I read that correctly. If it did, then even more spooky.
Supposedly, the book when first published in ‘81 had the virus Gorki-400 originating in the Soviet Union. That was changed to Wuhan in the ‘89 edition.
Plane travel sucks anyway. Especially internationally
Customs by itself sucks
We don’t go much. My 4 runner is much easier
A lot of this is d@mned if you do/D@med if you don’t. Having people standing in close proximity for hours maximized the chances of transmission. 4 hour lines practically guarantees that somebody in that line is ill and in close proximity with A LOT of other people.
