Nationwide airline passenger traffic is averaging 23 passengers per domestic flight. Airlines are losing $350 million to $400 million per day as expenses such as payroll, rent and aircraft maintenance far exceed the money they are bringing in, according to a report in The New York Times.

In NL it's still not required to wear a mask outside, only in public transport or places where social distancing is difficult. There is still no real evidence masks really help except in health care where risks are much higher.

Well, got a haircut. Wore a mask. In a week the gym opens and then I'm in heaven.

My gym's opening on Saturday, with restrictions. Longing for our pool to open.

Good one.

It's starting to get warm down here, but I'm not going to allow the family to swim in the pool. Science says that the virus cannot spread in pools, but I'm not taking any chances. We keep it cleaned during the winter, but I'm going to wait on opening it up until I have more information.

it is starting to feel like the original planet of the apes when heston is screaming IT IS A MADHOUSE.

This disease is no joke. The US is hit harder than other countries. I wonder why?

In Holland there is now also a serious illness among children which is related to Covid and we have no idea if survivors will recover fully or develop other diseases later on.

Fuck, that's terrible Hollander. This virus is taking it's toll.

Yeah but when this mess is under control mankind will be stronger than ever.

A barber who defied New York’s strict coronavirus lockdown for several weeks to cut customers’ hair has tested positive for COVID-19, health officials said.

The Ulster County Department of Health on Wednesday urged people who recently received a haircut from a barbershop on Broadway in Kingston, around 100 miles north of New York City, to seek testing for the contagion. Officials did not name the barber or the business.

Our rural county's total infection count nearly doubled because an outbreak at a residential girl's school here infected nearly 100 students and staff. None are hospitalized, thank goodness.

For May 14:

Texas reported 1,448 more cases of the new coronavirus Thursday, an increase of about 3% over the previous day, bringing the total number of known cases to 43,851.

The state has also reported 58 additional deaths, bringing the statewide total to 1,216 — an increase of about 5% from Wednesday. Both of these are largest daily increases the state has reported. But they also come as testing has increased across the state.

Not trying to be Negative, but

Sooner, or later, we'll all be Positive.

Who has a conspiracy theorist in the family? I got stuck with a few for a few hours. It was actually funny cause they were arguing, one saying the Democrats planned it, one saying the US government, one saying the Illuminati, but the real kicker was one who was adamant that it is aliens doing it so they can colonize earth.

There is toilet paper on the shelves at 79 cent a roll, but the price on food has gone up some, and the quantity of some foods has gone down.

A guy I know thinks that world governments created Covid to subjugate and enslave billions of people, and that vaccines under development are going to change peoples' DNA.

In Holland some crazies set fire on over 20 5G cell towers, because they think 5G caused Covid.

You may be right. From the Texas Tribune, May 16:

More than 700 new coronavirus cases were reported in the Amarillo region Saturday, as results from targeted testing at meatpacking plants came in.

According to the office of the governor, a surge response team was deployed in Amarillo on May 4 to survey high-risk locations and test workers at meatpacking plants. The Texas Panhandle, where a workforce of Hispanics and immigrants power several meatpacking plants, is home to the highest rates of infection in the state.

It is not an incident when Chinese journalists, activists and scientists are arrested after making unwelcome statements to Beijing. Hundreds of people have been suspected by the Chinese authorities to express their views on the corona crisis.

The gym reopened today. Sparsely populated, no problem with social distancing. Only one other person and I were wearing masks. I pushed hard on a stationary bike to see if the mask impeded my output--it did. But, only one other person was using a cardio machine, and he was far away. I'm going to play this one day at a time. The pool we use for lap swimming, which is my wife and my regular cardio, is still closed.

have a feeling they are going to let the virus burn itself out. herd mentality.
