"President Donald Trump said he will suspend all travel from Europe to the U.S. for the next 30 days, the most far-reaching measure yet in the administration’s efforts to combat the spread of coronavirus."

Good news on the virus, Sean Hannity just began a question which will not end until the epidemic subsides.
I might throw a Woohan Cocktail through their window. JK!
I’ve heard event insurance is denying claims based on a global pandemic as well.
Yep...or, why not stay? Enjoy the free healthcare.
Force majeure?
Hanks appears to be but 63 y.o.
He likely has a good chance of making another movie, but probably not with Weinstein...
It doesn't seem as clear-cut as natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados, or floods.
Good info here --> When is an outbreak an act of God? Mitigating commercial and operational risks during the COVID-19 crisis
When it comes to a public health crisis such as COVID-19, the threshold question is whether the specific circumstances are or may warrant a “triggering event” under the contract:
Using what for a passport?
Jet fuel is basically kerosene.
Bring out your lawyers.
I’ll never buy that crap again! 13 pages of fine print!
Maybe the UK did what President Trump did and banned flights coming in from China early on.. Open borders Europe did not.
Just not if you’re over 65
OR have asthma, diabetes, autoimmune disease...
BYO ventilator
Lol
I think Israel may have stricter rules then US..
And the NBA’s statement just says “until further notice”, and that the NBA will use the hiatus to determine what to do going forward.
LOL....they need to add that disclaimer....BYOV.

Composition
Jet fuel of types A and A-1 is composed of mostly kerosene, and Jet B is a naptha-kerosene mix. Diesel gas is approx. 75 percent kerosene, with added lubricants and a low-sulfur content.
Weight
Diesel gas is heavier than jet fuel, with a higher number of slightly larger hydrocarbon chains, though both are primarily paraffin oils (kerosene). Diesel is more viscous than jet fuels.
Additives - Jet
Jet fuel often has antifreeze and anti-microbial agents, static dissipaters and corrosion inhibitors added to improve performance in aeronautical engines, whose ambient temperature often varies wildly during flight.
Additives - Diesel
Diesel has lubricant additives to promote healthy engine function–using kerosene or Jet-A fuels in a diesel engine may cause damage due to its lower levels of lubricants. Diesel also contains a dye added to prove it has been taxed.
Heat Output
According to Inspectapedia.com, diesel has a higher BTU output and more energy per unit than does Jet-A fuel.
Engine Use - Conclusions
While many attest to using 50-50 ratios of jet/diesel in diesel engines, this will cause the engine to run hotter and have a lower mpg rating. It will also void many warranties by the manufacturer. Jet-A is more similar to Diesel #1, which is lighter than Diesel #2 (automotive diesel), and so is not a perfect substitute, but in emergency situations is a potential fuel source. Jet-A usage will not cause instant physical damage but long-term wear will increase due to lack of lubrication, different burn temperatures and energy output.
Stupid MSN has a headline about the flight thing that doesn’t agree with the body of their article.
Headline says no flights “from” Europe, body says no flights in both directions.
Effing brainiacs I tell ya.
