My wife and kids were suppose to go to Spain in a few weeks. They were very skittish about going. Thankfully when Trump announced the travel restriction to Europe we were able to get a full refund of the plane tickers.

They were still going to go, but the it was a refund that changed the plans?

Maybe a little bit of hype by media and some. Maybe not.

Portugal too. Was scheduled for Portugal and Spain next month, but received a State Department travel advisory this morning about Portugal: no go.

Nancy Pelosi is on CNN right now running her mouth. Not really being Trump-negative...kinda odd.

BUT...she doesn’t look well. Wiping her nose (her nose is red), eyes rheumy-looking...I think she’s got The Virus.

A week ago one of our members said he was going to the Canary Islands and how he thought this was overblown. He was cheered on by a few other members. Now, given DJTs travel ban, he’s stuck. Oh well, flu!!

We’ve got tickets for the Bahamas in late April.

No cases there yet. Fingers crossed.

Our President is being excoriated for stopping flights from Europe.

A judge in Hawaii has even ruled against it.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Trumps again shows foright instituting European travel ban.
