On my way to work,  you think the roads are clear on a normal Sunday morning..imagine what it looks like on Sunday morning during a global pandemic. First car I saw had NY plates with it flashers on.  

Just got notified that I’ll get swabbed upon arrival in Panama.  I’ll the be escorted by a guard to hotel who will remain in lobby to ensure we don’t leave until the test results come back negative.  
 

This will be interesting.  

Be safe. Prayers for you...

We stay at the Miramar Intercontinental along the waterfront., no cabs...we roll in company provided private transportation services. When I left about 10 days ago they only had 9% occupancy at the hotel I bet it is close to 0% now.
My question is what do they do with you if you test positive? I brought a tub of Clorox wipes. I’ll spend the first 20 mins sanitizing the entire room and lock myself up for 28 hrs. I need hazardous duty pay!

Cuomo is speaking.  For anyone who wants a dose of rationality.

More "not sure who to believe" info.  Dr. Fauci has been emphasizing hand-washing, to avoid picking up and depositing the virus on surfaces, where it can be transferred to others.  But, the CDC is emphasizing aerosol transfer.  Droplets from coughing or sneezing.  The CDC actually downplays the surface transfer possibility, pretty hard.  Almost saying that washing your hands is a waste of time.  A person would have to believe that all of these infected people have been coughed on.  Hard to imagine that that would be the case.

Fauci is NIH and a known expert.  Not sure where the CDC info comes from.

More confusion.

Screw that!

This is more just bizarreness.  Just read it.  It's "real".

In case it gets deleted.  Looks like he's already modified it to sound more sane.

If you want to browse around the Internet for COVID-19 information the University sites are a good place to start.  Especially the ones with medical centers.  Almost all of them have a virus page now.  Some provide their own insights, some translate the CDC guidance.  Some have their own programs going.

"10,000 to 300,000, how do you do that? The fake news should look into that"

SUPPLY AND DEMAND. Jeez

Just more diversion.  That's his M.O.  He's worried about Cuomo and needs to try to make him look bad.  I haven't watched any of this one, they're all the same now.

So, I arrived in Panama this AM (8am). The airport is completely closed to passenger travel. The airport was a ghost town. We only heard one other aircraft on the radio between Tennessee and Panama (a Delta flight over Atlanta). It was so odd and the sights here are odd too. Roads complexly empty. It’s like something from a bad movie. We had our temps taken upon landing and were told we couldn’t leave our hotel room once we check in.
I spent 15 mins sanitizing the jet with my gloves on. The other pilot seemed to have a lower concern but was happy with my cleaning job. I find out 1 hr into the flight that his daughter vacated NYC a few days ago to escape the virus lockdown. She’s a waitress in Manhattan and student. I’m like, “you’ve got to be kidding me”, I’m stuck with this guy for about 8 hrs total in this cockpit for the next two flights!
I’ve been neurotic about keeping my hands clean but not touching your face for 4 hrs is almost impossible, it’s a subconscious action most of the time.
So I’m trapped in this hotel now. Ugh!

Human nature.  Run!
