Downwind66 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 To all our FlightSim members and visitors, please be careful out there with this Pandemic going on. If we do what we are all asked to do, we should all get thru this! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Thanks, Rick! You take care too! I was just reading, over at the "other" site, all of the folks bemoaning that fact that their personal liberties are being infringed upon! :rolleyes: Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

Downwind66 Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 You know what, this is something this world has never been confronted with! It is taking it's toll on lives, so you best do as they recommend and quit with the whining! Thanks Charlie, you take care also! - Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peer01 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Thanks very much Rick, we're all in the same situation.....:( This was our view during the morning rush hour a few days ago... Normally it's VERY busy in front of our house... We have a lock down finally. Though shops, pubs, restaurants, museums etc. etc. were all closed, last weekend lots of people went to the beaches and woods. Trains were crowded, people walked in groups, unbelievable. It's all over now, when there are more than 3 people together (unless families have more children of course) or they don't keep a safe distance: You have to pay a lot of money! I wish everybody all the health in the world, and please be careful!:):cool::pilot: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TightGit Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 If only all people were sensible, we could get through this quicker. I'm ashamed to say that here in the UK we've had reports of idiots (I could put that much stronger!) deliberately setting fire to ambulances and food delivery vans. There were even some teenagers who thought it amusing to cough in the faces of the elderly. Words fail me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywatcher12 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 There were even some teenagers who thought it amusing to cough in the faces of the elderly. Words fail me! Couple of kids did this to a woman because they saw she was wearing a face mask. As per the rest of what i quoted, nope, there are no words. I was just reading, over at the "other" site, all of the folks bemoaning that fact that their personal liberties are being infringed upon! :rolleyes: It doesn't take much to stir up the natives over there. lol Please everyone just don't do stupid things. The panic buying makes life difficult for everyone now and will put people out of jobs later. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 It COULD be that the YOUNG (15 to 51 yrs old) are carriers but are not being effected and not suffering any symptoms but able to spread it. It sounds like people are blaming the OLD folks (65 and over) for the pendemic. They are the ones that DO get effected, get sick, and die because they are old, weak, or have other physical pre conditions. But they are not the ONLY ones able to spread it. That is what makes is so dangerous because the ones spreading it are not old and not getting sick. So don't mingle with young (15 to 51) and only shop at 'Senior' hours. THINK! By May this should be over. Hang in there folks.

loki Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Looks like it isn't just regular folk panic buying. Some doctors appear to be trying to stockpile some of the supposed cure drugs for themselves and family. https://www.propublica.org/article/doctors-are-hoarding-unproven-coronavirus-medicine-by-writing-prescriptions-for-themselves-and-their-families Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPHILL3 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I think the best advice to finally beat this little critter is to assume EVERYONE around you is infected (even without symptoms). And that you YOURSELF may be infected as well. So extreme caution should be the M/O in this silent Spring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywatcher12 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Interesting the highest reported cases in my country come from the 20-29 year olds. Females a reasonable amount higher than males. Clearly they are not concerned about Coronavirus and not worrying about social distancing etc. This age group should all have grandparents. You would think they would have more sense.

mallcott Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Thanks, Rick! You take care too! I was just reading, over at the "other" site, all of the folks bemoaning that fact that their personal liberties are being infringed upon! :rolleyes: Utterly unnecessary. You should beware equating infringement of personal liberties with the ogoing need to stay-in and curtail contact, which might just save their lives, and yours!

PAULCRAIG Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Here in the UK, PPE (Personal protective equipment) is in short supply in all NHS (National Health Service) hospitals and care homes, the government say's that there is plenty in stock, in warehouses (unless they are lying!), but the problem is getting it to the hospitals etc, when there are thousands of trucks and drivers around the country lying idle which would normally being delivering non essential goods, these could be used to deliver essential goods to where they are needed!

PAULCRAIG Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I hope everybody is OK and keeping safe, I would just like to take this opportunity to have a rant! I don't know if you people outside of the UK realise that the UK has a huge shortage of PPE, so desperate that last week British Airways completed a 22Hr round trip to China to collect vital PPE and the RAF are waiting to collect 84 tonnes of PPE from Turkey only to hear on the news that pharmaceutical suppliers in the UK are shipping millions of pieces of vital ppe to Germany, Italy and Spain! Whats going ON! the saying "couldn't organise a p*$$ up in brewery" comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats going ON! the saying "couldn't organise a p*$$ up in brewery" comes to mind. It's called "Money talks, BS walks." I'd wager, although I don't actually KNOW, that the suppliers are getting more money from the German government, than the UK government offered. So....that's where they're sending their products. If the UK government offers them more money, well, they'll suddenly get more cooperative. Maybe even friendly, although I wouldn't go that far. I bet their excuse is "Business is business.". I also wouldn't trust ANY of the PPE from China to be useful or effective in any way. That would defeat their entire purpose in releasing the virus on the world. But hey, maybe I'm just a cynical SOB. Have fun all!
