America launched its nuclear doomsday planes after Trump’s positive Covid-19 test; Pentagon could have wanted atomic-armed rivals to know that America's nuclear command system is intact, even if commander-in-chief is sick.

“99.8% chance of recovery, or something like that.”

At the very least. Probably more like 99.98% which would be 1.56 million deaths worldwide.

Actual deaths worldwide are just over 1 million - and it has been alleged that this figure is likely inflated by a factor of 10, due the widespread practice of counting deaths from other causes as covid deaths, if covid was present at the time of death.

In fact, based on that I will revise my estimate to a 99.998% chance of recovery, which would result in 156k deaths, worldwide.

We do have a very competent Vice President in case everyone has forgotten that fact, especially that ridiculous, lousy, nasty baggage Pelosi.

Nearly anytime I look, I can find at least one E-6 aloft. Right now:

Good grief, I corrected myself within about 10 seconds and everyone is still piling on.

From direct, first hand experience I can tell you TACAMO aircraft will effectively deliver Emergency Action Messages to strategic forces at sea.

No matter the scenario.

“If anything you would want straight and level to trail a long antenna for low frequency communication with the subs.”

Nope.

They go into a 24deg “orbit” and the long wire corkscrews beneath them.

Knowing your PRECISE position is essential due to the nature of signal encoding methods used.

Like you I worked many years in aerospace and hold a private ticket. When I see E6B the first thing that comes to mind is the “whiz wheel”, and I echo your comments about the monumental lack of knowledge of aviation exhibited by the media.

I used to fly in EC-130Q’s (VQ-3 Guam) before these new fangled TACAMOs came out. Ahh, those were the days.

TACAMO maintains 7x24x365 coverage.

There is always a bird aloft.

That 200 kW VLF transmitter feeding the long wire will do that.

their lack of understanding

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. But illiterate innumerates become journalists.

Yes. And when he “recovers” maybe as an example we can move out from under the thumb of our oppressive government and get back to normal.

I wonder where Trump’s person really is, and what’s really going on. His “diagnosis” provides cover for him not physically appearing in public. A virtual appearance can originate anywhere, even from the back side of the Moon. Literally.

If it’s true, they could/would never tell us things are so sketchy that Trump has to go very deep for a while. They would have a cover story like this one.

All pieces are pawns except the King.

And why do we know this and why is it being reported? Can nothing be kept a secret?

Some kind of explanation is necessary if the President can't make public appearances for a while.
